Ditto, Ed.  What a great idea!  Love the way you pulled some of the pixels around each side of the airframe.  Very masterful.   :thumbsup:

Pleased with the squadron of Kawasaki T-4 trainers that they had purchased, the Thai AF decided to modify some of these aircraft to perform CAS and COIN missions to replace the A-37's and OV-10's in their inventory.  The modifications included the equipment and cockpit displays needed to use modern IR and Laser systems for all weather and night missions.  These new AT-4B Geckos proved to be an excellent night CAS and attack platform. The example shown here is fitted with an IR imaging pod, IR Maverick missiles and high drag "dumb" bombs.









Modeling note.  The decals are from an Albatros Sheet of A-37's.
