A clean one w/o turret with the drop tanks please? (5th variant).
Excellent work Milton and Matt!

I say aye to that also! :salute:![]()

Now...if only I had that missing part...:isadizzy:
A long-range PR variant w/tanks and camera ports makes sense, it was a very long-range war in the Aleutians and Northern Kuriles - 12 hours endurance with external and internal tanks sounds good.:salute:
Great work by everyone! Can we sneak in a tanked mdl for us tanker freaks?*ducking from any gunfire

well the assessment bird is done... but unfortunately it gave me an idea.... 'Tsetse', Tsetse was a 57mm Autocannon mounted in the Chin of the DH.98, used for anti-shipping... Milton fancy a fictional shipping terror?
anyways, here's the Photo Recon/Bomb Damage Assessment Harpoon, given an olive drab paint (Fresh tone, not worn, faded tone), perfect for overflying the jungles or right at home in Europe...
As to the 57mm Autocannon, I suggest you fire up the xa-38 Grizzly with the 75mm autocannon and get the job really done with her.![]()
That Grizzly is one heck of an airplane. Its FAST, and DEADLY, and in my humble opinion, one of "Shupe Industries" best. It has an excellent 2D and VC and a superb flight model. Not to mention it has the "look" of a real hunter. Thanks Milton. :salute:
There... sorry to get off topic. back to the Harpoon variants. I like the idea of a fire tanker too. One that looks like it's put out a few.

Milton - I checked what sources I could find on the internet (all my books are in storage across the causeway) - re: the recon version, all I can find shows a dorsal turret but no external tanks. I couldn't see pylons under the wings, not even for the external tanks. Makes sense not to have rocket pylons on the wings for a recon bird, no combat intended. Wish I could be more specific for you, you're busy - but much appreciated!:salute:
well my groundcrew asked if i could take their photo in preservational memory of the 4th paint.... so i obliged.... they looked puzzled until they saw me running and getting in the Harpoon, then over the engines there was an audible "oh c*ap!"..... the camera is at the right height relative to their position....
