You know ..... I have a few Greek SLUF's in my library... that were painted on the IRIS model. But that paint looks to be the best yet. Much more attention to detail in those shots.:salute:

Amazing what a little TLC with a paint brush can do! Matt, you've done real justice to one of my all time favorite aircarft!

:salute: :applause: :applause:
 
thanks buddy, having a day or two away from the SLUF to finish up on Harrier, then it's onto other SLUFs (Ohio ANG and HAF Display variants), once i'm done i'll then release the paintkit to the Public to get playing with.... i might actually get back to my scenery too at some point :icon_lol:

but yeah i love the SLUF, have done ever since i saw my first one arrive into Larissa AB on a NavEX, since then i've clambered over them a few times at HAF Open Days throughout my life, even going as far as to scoot my a$$ up that intake to get a good view of the fan blades... thankfully she'll still be flying for a few years yet in HAF service, alongside another, and my favourite... Phantoms!

Milton, thanks for the kind words, not sure how long i can keep this going with this ailing PC and no funds for a replacement, but while it's staying alive, i'm continuing... current workrate, to put it into perspective.... in last 7 days i've spent more or less 20 hours a day working on things for FS... 4 hours sleep then back to work.... making the most of things while this ole rig keeps going :icon_lol::icon_lol:
 
ok onto the next bird..... i just can't leave HAF alone.... heres a sneaky peek of what's coming next..... :kilroy:
 
.....42 minutes later.... still a lot of tweaking but i'm already seeing the fruits of my labour, and advantage to pre-preparing my graphics for this one....
 
new piccy.... currently taking a break to clear my room in the hunt for my passport... amazing how i can locate paperwork pertaining to things in a flash yet a tiny little passport has evaded me for pretty much 4 hours total today....
 
Goes without saying, Matt. Absolutely outstanding!!! Now, in regards to the comment Nigel made about his "orchards"... you know they did close off the bombing range last week.:icon_lol:

this A-7 is on a temporary hold till i can sort a few 'issues' real world out... family issues... yet-a-sodding-gain... theres only so many times one can listen to ones own father calling them a "waste of space" before said one, flips out... so i'm having a small time away to sort things out before once again me and my dad come to blows.... :salute:

I could go for a bit of "apple scrumping". Just drop one of those Mk82's nearby and the shock wave should shake things up. Then the pickings should be pretty easy....

I think you're almost there; the problem w/a Mk 82 is the shrapnel getting in the apples, which could be hard on the teeth (or dentures) - I would suggest a good FAE, dropped a suitable distance away so the apples aren't emulsified, or turned into applesauce on the branch - just knocked down.

Dad was pretty good at doing that stuff a long time ago, he pruned trees and plowed fields from 15 miles away - here's how (with apologies to the copyright holder):
