Crescent Winged Lightning

Captain Canada · March 19, 2016, 07:56:03 PM

The wing is so big it's really not what I had envisioned. But that's ok. I should be back at her tomorrow and get a few things done.

Looking forward to it.
Long wings for high altitude recon?
On the other hand it had a certain Buccaneer look with the wings without the outer sections.

Not sure of final role. I'm guessing everything

I'm thinking high altitude interceptor, maybe armed with Genies. The Genies can also be switched to a ground attack role. Recon pallet, and bomber, dual role etc. We'll see what I can get done !

If your going to arm the aircraft with Genies, will you be painting a Brown Hare as Nose Art?

Not sure...have to check into that one !?

Now I'm wondering about the overwing tanks. proba has enough with the carrots and the Victor tanks, as well as the bulged belly and big wing eh ?

Put a bit of paint on her last night. Now, should I go all over green or do a green/ grey camo ?

I vote camo.

What Fred said.

It's looking REALLY good.

OMG is this thing HUGE!!!

Captain Canada · March 31, 2016, 03:59:51 AM

Thanks for the input guys ! I kinda like the overall green look, and being lazy ( and not as much now ) pressed for time I was lying to myself

Camo it is ! Now, what about the underwing tanks ? Still looking for ords as well.

NARSES2 · March 31, 2016, 07:17:48 AM

Now that is looking good Capt

For some reason it looks Soviet to me, perhaps from the Myasishchev Bureau ?

Captain Canada · March 31, 2016, 07:31:28 AM

You know....you're Chris ! But upon further review it may just be the mottled look to the base coat ? Should have a few pics up later, maybe that will change our minds !

I think it's the wing shape Capt. That and the "booms" at the trailing edges ?

Kuchemann Carrots is what they are, named after Dr Dietrich Kuchemann an Aerodynamicist of some note.
