If the luftwaffe had decided against Eurofighters, is this what they would have ended up with?

Not entirely completed yet

GAAHH!!!!!  NOOOOO!!!!!!  That Falcon's head from the 107th FS!!!  ON A LUFTWAFFE BIRD?!?!   (sob)

Sorry, always get emotional when I see a decal from that old decal sheet, and it's not on a Michigan bird.  Not a bad looking Flanker, I like the compass ghost scheme on it.

Greg, the Falcon's head is from an old decal sheet for the Michigan and Minnesota ANG's F-16A's.  The 107th Fighter Squadron out of Selfridge ANGB had a few planes done up with that marking on the tail when they first converted over from A-7D's.

Here's some pics:





I recently used them in my Michigan Eagles batch, with them going onto an F-15E.

Anthony,

Thanks for that - I must admit though that the Falcon looks much more appropriate than my first impression of what it was - a penguin crossed with a kangaroo :lol: !

Greg

Very nice Flanker. Very interesting.
If you love, love without reservation; If you fight, fight without fear - THAT is the way of the warrior

If you go into battle knowing you will die, then you will live. If you go into battle hoping to live, then you will die

Decals:
Two birds behind cockpit is italeri from the A4 skyhawk
The two falcons on the tail are from the latest airfix F16 sheet
German markings are from the very old Airfix hawker Seahawk blisterpack.
German flags on the tail are from a revell eurofighter kit.

Holy...  THERE IS A GOD OF MODELLING!!!!!!  Just did a quick search for the kit mentioned, and there, right on the box top, in all its glory, a Michigan Air National Guard F-16A from the 107th FS!!

Must search eLake....

That's exactly what I thought - for one moment I started thinking of a Buccaneer in RAN markings  :D

Nice model B777

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
