Gonna take a lot of 'finessing' before this one's done.
Getting the right effect for peeled/burnt paint takes a bit....particularly as it's almost random in placement...[on the real critter]..;)

Yep, mine too; I can remember the last time I saw one, at Plymouth air show; and feeling the vibration inside my chest as it did a near vertical climb on full reheat! Truly AWESOME!

Chippie..

Don't want to seem derogatory toward the JF/AH model and I hope my comments aren't taken as such.

Suffice to say.. the Aerosoft models (there are currently 2 which you'll have to buy separately if you want a full house) are a little more refined in just about all areas. They're more challenging.. more realistic if you will. If you're not that fussed, there's no need to spend the extra cash as the JF model aint bad. The Aerosoft models are newer and it shows;)

And as he says not knocking either one......Hell i bought both!!
I'm just a sucker for the Lightning..............still got all the Alpha one's installed too!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Reasonably happy with the burnt paint version.... following from various photos....

I guess it kept the painters in a job....;)

One of the 'hardest' things to do is search through all the XB-70 photos and try to 'avoid' the demise of 20207 [a sad day for all].... particularly when without a doubt the Valkyrie defines the pinnacle of Military flight [or any form]. Nothing has had the same 'wow-factor' before or since.
Not within a country mile ...;)

Perhaps to be able to chat to Al White cos he was a neighbor.....now that would have been amazing.

There are two model sets available from Aerosoft for the Lightning - with a couple of bonus external models thrown in for free.
The F3 also gives you the F1/1A/2 externals, using the F3 FDE and VC.
The F6 gives you the F2A external model, using the F6 FDE and VC. It comes separately because the guns were in a different place.

The Aerosoft offerings are also TacPack-enabled.

I did ask for the T4/5 as well, but the developer felt he'd had enough.

Dave - not biased in any way.

Yes, I do see what you mean! I think I'd certainly give it a go!
However, I'm having rather a lot of problems with my FSX not running properly at the moment, so I won't be buying anything just yet! Lol!
