I think a F/A-18 UCAV would look good  ;D

Out of a matter of interest, does anybody have a set of 3 view drawings of the GAF Jindivik.  Actually, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned in this thread.

There was an article in IPMS UK mag. some years ago with drawings (it came from IPMS Australia).
I have it somewhere, when I find it I will scan the drawings and post them up here.

Hmm, that makes me think of an unmanned version of the jet XF5U, a retro Cylon Raider! :party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thanks.  It would be most appreciated.  Considering its one of the most successful drones produced, there is very little real information available online and no drawings.  :(

You are aware of the 1/48 scale resin kit Rickshaw ?

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

:thumbsup:

The article also gives drawings for the Pika if you are interested.
Highplanes do/did both the Jindivik and the Pika in 1/72, and Final Touch did the Mk2 Jindivik in 1/72 in resin.
The Highplanes Jindiviks have the launch trolley in white metal.

Well, the obvious UAV candidate is the F-35 which, given the natures of its systems architecture, would be easy to adapt.  I could see s streamlined access hatch replacing the canopy for a UAV variant.

These are all very neat, Stéphane.  Both look eerily plausible.

Cheers,
