So who will be the lucky operator of this Super Etendard?   



Not 100% sure yet but thinking of a 1/48 redo of the 1/72 Academy one I built but never got mounted for an inflight display before I took a long break from the hobby.  I'll try to dig out a pic or find the thread for reference.

So I got that going for me...which is nice....

You could have the RAN going French in line with the RAAF purchase of the Mirage.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

That's nice Zen'

As for who ? How about Dutch if European or Indian if not ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

As of right now this is what I'm going for I think. 



This was my Academy one build back around 2010 I think. 


Always thought the SuE would look good in Light Gull Gray over White.  Could not come up with a viable backstory for USN service though so tried it in RAN colors and liked it.  I have an "Aussies At Sea" decal sheet with decals for the VF805 Skyhawks.  I don't have the Chess Knight decal, just the checkerboards, which wont fit the tail of the SuE, so it may end up being a bit of a masking job.  We'll see. 

Also not ruling out a RN version, provided by France as part exchange for a CVA-01 class Aircraft Carrier...
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Eons ago, I made some profiles of Super Etendard (and still have two Academy boxes somewhere to turn into one of it). If you want some inspiration ?















I was sure I had a Dutch, Australian, Kiwi, Canadian and Brazilian version somewhere, but impossible to find them !

I like the Hellenic version a lot - a good replacement or alternative to the A-7s.  :thumbsup:

That's my favorite too ! I imagined it as an alternative for the Mirage 2000 in the antiship mission, but alternate A-7 sounds good too ! Opens a lot of possiblities for the camouflage !

Do you have markings of the Philippines? :unsure:
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Wow, I like those two seaters.
Now I'm thinking about SAAF as an operator, maybe instead of the Buccaneer.

I found a South African version, but not the Philippine one.

Don't know why, but my Dropox links seems to be dead for now, I'll try to repost the pictures if you want.
