Dandiego Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 Odds and ends, part 4..... Better shot of the parabrake pack. Static wicks on the tail. Still need to be painted. Sidewinder attached to the wingtip. Almost done, Dan themongoose, Out2gtcha, LSP_Kevin and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Done. About 8 weeks from start to finish. Challenging yet fun. Got better at designing and printing parts for the wings. Paint could always be better. Enjoy. Thanks for dropping by, Dan JMcD, johncrow, Starfighter and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Whats next..... There is a short term answer, finish my Advanced Scorpion project. It stalled out at the 97% completion stage. And a long term answer. Design and print an A3J Vigilante. I have some preliminary design elements already in progress. I am most interested in the bomber version and not the photo bird. Wish me luck, Dan Greg W, Martinnfb, Rainer Hoffmann and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can make it work, you’ll be limited to only three squadron colors: Heavy 1, 3 and 7 unless you go with the clown colors on the operational and weapons test birds. Heavy 1’s tail color was black, Heavy 3 was the RAG so their tail color was international red/orange and Heavy 7’s color was bright blue. There were ten RA-5 squadrons so their paint was a little more sporty. Either way, can’t wait to see what you cook up! Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainer Hoffmann Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Great work, Dan. Just a question (forgive my ignorance): Did they fly an XL in that camo scheme? I don't remember that I have ever seen a pic of that scheme (not that I saw many pics of the XL). Cheeers Rainer Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeers Rainer No Rainer this camo scheme came out of my head. And you are right there aren't many pictures of the XL's. I also used some liberties with the weapons load. Not accurate by any means, but........its cool. I wanted to depict a production bird assigned to an operational squadron. My thought was to come up with something that "could of" happened. I used the F-15 camo as an inspiration and just changed the colors. Dan Rainer Hoffmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
