Just got this because of the sale, should have got it sooner go figure. I would like to know if there are any black night fighter repaints for this and what should I use for the sounds? Virtavia dropped the ball as far as I'm concerned by not including a black paint job.

No one else has mentioned a black scheme in the four and a half years since release. Pictures?
:ernae:
 
Okay, the reason I asked for a black paint job was the fact that I had acquired a set of black and white photos of various military aircraft from WWII thru the early 60s.one pic was that of an F-89 in gloss black ala the B-57's night intruder scheme. Doing a bit of nosing around I find that it was an XF or YF-89 and the black paint was dropped. It was mentioned on this page....

So anyway since it was not operational it's not that important now. Too bad, the B/W pic just oozed evil in the dark. Thanks for the replies anyway.:salute:
 
Yeah, I remember the prototype painted black. Just because it was never operational in that scheme doesn't mean you can't paint one like that and have fun anyway. :)
 
I may give it a try, more as a what if? paint job than anything else when I can find time. I did however stick the radar from the Virtavia F-104 in the VC, as well as add the CS Weapons gauges to it. I mean what good is a radar equipped night fighter with out a radar installed?
