I've said it myself in the past, and it hasn't seemed to make any difference.

That's why I didn't buy the F-102, paint schemes just weren't up to par with the model.

We'll see, maybe if enough people start making paints for the A-7 after it's release, I'll think about it.

Having a personal metric on what is worth it and what is not is certainly natural...we all have a metric. But, none of these models are without issue. For instance, the Aerosoft F-16 and the Iris F-20 Tigershark forewent the weathered rivet lines for something completely unreal. Panel sections that don't fit flush to the adjacent panel sections, and rivets that aren't flush and stick out like warts. I love both of these models and fly them regularly, and I do the outside camera walk around and marvel at how well modellers are able to sculpt...but I'm also shaking my head at how much parasite drag the real planes would have if they were actually built this way.

The "travel pods", were called "blivets".

I remember some of the Line division guys stuffed one of the newbies into a blivet as a joke. The plane left the flight line, and was almost ready to take off, when the Line CPO found out about it, and notified OPS. They radioed the pilot to return to the flight line immediately. It would have been a tragic situation, had the aircraft taken off. Anyway, the individuals involved were kicked out of the Navy.

This happened just before I reported to the squadron (VA-83), in 1987.

Holy Cr*p! Funny as he** though. Reminds me of the first time I slung load a HMMMV without a static discharge probe. I didn't know it needed it, hadn't been to Air Assault school yet, but the rest of the platoon did. Prowler, looking good as usual, cannot wait for the release.

Tweek Sorry to harp on about it, but seeing as I had others agree with me before, I emplore you to try out some more 'varied' dirt and weathering, as opposed to the uniform panel line dirt. Decent textures make a model for me, and so far I'd go as far as saying the current look would actually put me off buying it, even with the latest Greek additions. Hell, I'd gladly give it a shot myself, if I had a paint kit!

Guys, you remind me of my kids when we are at the road facing a loong day behind the wheel with the constant "are we there yet", lol, and please don´t take this out of context, i´m not ranting over a natural,honest and very valid complaint, these are WiP´s models, if you check the 1st pic i ever posted of the fully mapped A-7 (where the same issue was pointed out) and the ones you see here, you´ll see there is an abysmal difference.We still have to do the baking and some other stuff, it´s not over yet.
Thanks for all the comments, i feel proud of my consumer/producer relationship..at the end it´s you who keeps us going.
Best regards

That's fine! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. :jump:
 
Happened to an RAF Phantom in Germany, also more than one Buccaneer has tried to take off with wings folded. It happens.
 
Hey guys-

We've been working on some texture overhauls the past two days, texture baking, weathering, that sort of thing.

This livery is incomplete in the images (missing some stars and stripes), hope it gives you a satisfying look at what is to come anyways :)

I hope it's RTWR legal 'cus it would be sweet to use her next year. :jump:

Just for info it needs a max. Mach speed of not greater than 0.99 in the [Reference Speeds] section of the Aircraft.cfg file to be legal.
