Combat Warplanes / Trident Systems and UAV

« on: April 14, 2011, 03:38:48 PM »

The U.S. Navy is outsourcing the task of boosting the performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by developing small UAV technology, control stations, sensors, and other support systems for persistent surveillance. The ultimate goal is to detect and target forces who engage in sabotage, plant IEDs, and launch other terrorist offenses.

I have few kits in my collection and no problem to build them. Also- we can even start for example this week and continue this dedicated Group Build until the end of May. As well circumstances are special maybe no need to hold strictly to the specific month.

That rounded instrument panel is not present on the Yugoslav migs.This I think is a part of the R version.

Huuhhh... never get in that deep details but this is good point that every detail have to be double check out

Sorry to reopen this old topic but maybe this could be interesting. I analyze files about the Skyraider and I have here 21 different version, one image for each one. Maybe this could be interesting for Variants chapter for the second issue of our Magazine?

With engine above their heads I hardly believe that they could be able to do that. Anyway kit is somehow completed, I did not find any image to complete bomb head color and I am a little low of concentration to paint metal panel under cockpit. Thanks to Nico for this beautiful kit

This day is dedicated for the painting. Source machine is Fieseler Fi-103R photographed in summer 1945 outside Continental hotel, Antwerp (SHAEF display). Other two images show protection work on canopy and first coat of RLM83 color. No idea what color could be, even options with early greens are possible.
