This aerial refueler got a prettier sight… :rolleyes:

Once more steering away from crashing…
😀
Having worked on this on and off since 2005, I can at last call this model 99.9% done! I still have to add a few smaller details on the engine and the aileron trim system, but that’s about it!
The current colour scheme is that of an FG-1A of VMF-114 during this unit’s stay at Peleliu, where it carried out close air support and napalm strikes.


Once the last few tidbits are added, I’ll do some proper action renders of it.
By the way, did you manage to create the little panel on top op the wing that opens when the wing folds?
Yep, definitely did – two of them 🙂
Bigger still…

From a patched-up B-17 to a spotty one

Pfff, you could fly a Buccaneer underneath that! :p

Ah yes the famous Sunderland scrape…eh…flypast 🙂
Jets, props, human flies… it can’t get much better than this unless evolution gives us wings!
Perhaps “butter” is a better theme? 😀

Yes Mars. Or Jupiter. Or Venus.
Good luck to NASA!

Perhaps the Mars caught it and kept it as a trophy? Here’s another Mars hunting a helicopter! (as they do)

Left & right mounted jets…

PS. I think that Lightning might have had no jets at all…
OMG! Having seen these birds fly around the Canaries many times during holidays, I knew these guys had an absolute dream job. Best job, best location, best fun.
Geoff, jets cannot make up for props. And that soundtrack… ehm… :p
