It does seem rather short-sighted to not have an ecort that can exploit the said advantages of a tilt-rotor.

Isn't that why the Marines have F-35B's too  ----  

What the Marines should do is borrow a bunch of A-10s from the Air Force for escorts. But that would make too much sense.
What I should do is build the V-22, attack helicopter cross I've had in my head for quite a while now.

Very economical to use I'm sure!

That's why I'd love to see them bring back the Raider, albeit with a T-56 up front.

[Dizzyfugu]

Very plausible... would certainly look nice?

That little Hawk sure looks good ! Not too sure about it tho....and I think the pilot might want to check his dosimeter after his first flight 

The Army A-10 is a good idea. I hear the USAF is keeping them...for now, anyway !

Sir is it a bad thing if the pan of Jiffy Pop popcorn in my lap cooked off? Want some popcorn sir"?

[kerick]

how about if the A-10 was in retro OD green over grey?

Pretty sure this is a whiff, but I can't tell you a thing about it, since I can't even tell what language the site is in:



From here (more pics too): http://kikumen.com/puramon/air/aeromacchi/101.html

One thing that's revealed that I didn't know: there was a 1/72nd scale Supermodel kit of the MB-339K! I didn't even know it existed! Since the aircraft never found a market in real life, the whiff potential is enormous... 

[Captain Canada]

That looks awesome. Love the colours ! What do you think they are ?

[Weaver]

Don't know. The black shield on the fin is the same as the one on the real life demonstrator aircraft.

BTW, the MB-339K was also called the Veltro II, "veltro" meaning "greyhound". With that in mind, they came up with a cracking civil registration for the demonstrator: I-BITE. 

[Old Wombat]

Dunno what language but I do recognise a number of Chinese symbols, so it may be one of the variations of that.

[Dizzyfugu]

Try this...

Even though it does not really help much.

It's Japanese. Google tends to struggle with it.

Italeri re-released the MB339K kit fairly recently.

Sure about that?

A web search only finds images of the old Supermodel box. Italeri re-released the MB-339C and the MB-326K faily recently, but they're not the same thing.
