BloorwestSiR Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) An A-10 or an SU-25 would be a better choice, though. They can Cary more ordnance and bag more speeders. As in body bag? With the GAU-8 on the A-10, I don't think there's much chance of them finding anything left of the speeders. drop tanks with red and blue lights in the nose of them! That might be an idea! I'm also thinking I'll add a side facing spotlight much like the CF-18 has in the nose for nighttime enforcement. I can't believe we're on the second page of this WiP already and I haven't even started working on the kit!

Out2gtcha Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Everytime I see an update in this thread, I hear the CHiPs theme run through my head. Then I picture that millionaire guy who had a few hundred acres in out west, and his own P-51D with fully operational .50 cals in the wings, and the license to fire them......................he used to do strafing runs on old car hulks he put out in his pasture. How cool would it be to actually strafe something in a P-51D. No chance for felons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would it be to actually strafe something in a P-51D. No chance for felons! When I see gun camera footage from WWII of fighters doing low level strafing tuns on armored vehicles, I can only imagine what they'd do to a normal car. And you're right about the CHiPs theme running in my head. It doesn't help that they spoof it in the Planes sequel that my sons watch all the time.

BloorwestSiR Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 It should carry bombs in order to stop cars by bombing the road... Maybe instead they could be cluster bombs with tire spikes. Do less damage that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Anyways, I finally got the kit to my workbench last night and made a start. Here's what found upon opening the box. It seems I have the following AM in the box: - J Rutman correction set - Nautilus wood floor - Grey Matters wheels and tires I pulled out the lower wing section to see where I'd left off. I gave it a quick sanding since it seems to have a pebbly texture to it. I'll start filling in the rivets today. So progress!

skyhawk486 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 How about putting tip tanks on it and put the red and blue lights in the nose. This will keep the pylons free for ordnance in case there is maybe a hostage situation... BloorwestSiR and marauderdriver 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Tip tanks are a brilliant idea! Does the Rutman "correction" set contain new prop blades...Dragon mirror imaged theirs.. dmthamade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparzanza Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 All creepiness aside, I was thinking.. didn't the Mustang have two rather antenna-like rearview mirrors? Perhaps they could work as the red and blue lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
