Anychance of some close up cockpit pics? She looked pretty good from a distance...

Here ya go Nev.

I thought about changing the panel around a bit to add a CRT for the FLIR on teh Observer's side, but got lazy and didnt. I am going to add a handheld GPS unit on the glareshield like so many real Desert Strom aircraft had. Other than that the cockpit is OOB with the addition of foil harneses.

Great stuff, Aeroman ! Really coming along nicely. Great cockpit as well.......love all the little humps and bumps that you've added, really toughens up the look.

Cheers !

She's a stunner and would look good alongside a real Bronco in those colours, that would throw people.

I've a A-37 tahts going to use some of the Zotz African transfers at some point

A coat of Future and it's ready for decals.

Love it

I kinda like it as a convertible too, right now it reminds me of a Star Wars sand speeder.

...a little Desert Storm firepower for the OA-37M...

This is looking so cool. Love the bombs BTW...reminds me of a bomb I saw in a book about Vietnam: nice n' big on one side of this 750pounder was "F*** COMMUNISM"...just without the asterisks...
Anyhoo, I'm loving this! Markings please!

Captain Canada · November 30, 2005, 06:34:46 PM

Good good good, Aeroman !

Love the little bombs....nice touch !

Brian da Basher · November 30, 2005, 06:36:48 PM

tip tanks are just grey...some didnt get painted in the buildup to war, and many of the OA-37s flew in Desert Storm with grey, and even green tip tanks...thats my story and I'm sticking to it (I actually just liked the contrast).

Captain Canada · November 30, 2005, 08:11:02 PM

I see....for a minute there, I thought you were going to do something crazy, like paint them flourescent orange or somat !

Brian da Basher · November 30, 2005, 09:47:24 PM

I thought maybe those tip tanks were gonna go pink...Leigh's influence is insidious!

Wow that's the second time I used insidious in a post tonight...must be something, um, insidious going on...

Awesome build AeroplaneDriver!

Well thats NOT politically correct at all.

How about

"Saddam, while I respect you as a person, you don't seem to be a very good leader. I disagree with your policies and I do not approve of your actions."

Ah screw it, that won't fit on a bomb at all...

Still! what if someone actually tries to "catch" the other one?? You could put an eye out with those things!
