I do not make 3D modeling... only 2D and all you see here is Adobe Photoshop CS2.

I think that I have maybe one image but very little written data. You are right- rarely subject at all.

Few samples are lost during the operations and this sample is from the museum in Belgrade.

Here it is what was remained from Luftwaffe after the collapse. Images present Bf109K, Ju352 and Ju87 abandoned. All images from personal collection.

Combat Warplanes / Lightning II wind tunnel test
« on: March 07, 2007, 02:27:31 PM »
ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. (AFNEWS) -- Arnold Engineering Development Center workers completed the last developmental wind tunnel test in February for all Joint Strike Fighter variants, helping put the F-35 Lightning II a step closer to manufacturing.
It was the culmination of more than 8,600 hours and $50 million worth of wind tunnel testing of the Joint Strike Fighter over the past five years, said 1st Lt. Ezra Caplan, the AEDC Air Force project manager.
"This aerodynamics test was the final entry in that series and marks a significant achievement for AEDC," Lieutenant Caplan said.
This test added new critical data for the Navy variant of the F-35, said Randy Hobbs, Aerospace Testing Alliance project engineer.
"This particular test was about filling in the blanks other testing facilities hadn't obtained yet at the higher-end Mach numbers," he said. "The results from this test will go into the JSF program's aerodynamic database and complement the ground testing that will follow at Marietta, Georgia."
Marc Skelley, an Air Force project manager at the center, said testing done at AEDC and in Marietta is a collaborative effort.
"Our efforts are complementary and Lockheed Martin uses data taken at AEDC and from other facilities to complete the JSF aero database," he said. "Lockheed Martin has a large, low-speed wind tunnel in Marietta where they do stability and control testing at low speeds and with the landing gear down. Usually whatever test we did here was either preceded or followed by an entry down in Marietta."
Lieutenant Caplan said continuous improvements in testing methods and technology have resulted in significant reductions in cost and time.
"One of the benefits of testing here is that we're able to provide the data at near real time to the customer on site," he said. "This reduces the number of model configuration changes that would have been necessary in the past to get the quality of data they would need before pressing on with the test."
AEDC workers have tested the JSF in the center's wind tunnels and jet engine test cells for several years. The current multi-year test regimen for the aircraft's Pratt & Whitney F135 jet engine is a $200-million program.
The center's role in supporting the JSF program dates back to 1997 when competing engine configurations were tested in propulsion test cells here. Aerodynamic and propulsion integration testing on the JSF began the same year when the two competing prototype aircraft, the X-35 and X-32, were tested at AEDC.

I will ask about deadline and tell you. When first sample of profile have release then i will post sample to the contact and arrange to you or other direct contact. I will also uload more data on server and they will be available only to the active to this subject.

Regarding the blue Ki-100. This was identified by Donald W Thorpe in his seminal book 'Japanese Army Air Force Camouflage and Markings World War II' (Aero Publishers, 1968). The scheme was shown on Ki-100 aircraft #37 of the 5th Sentai, Japan 1945 but was said to be not common. This Sentai also operated Ki-45 in night fighter role so maybe . . . . ! The blue identified by Thorpe was recorded as A22 'Dark Blue'. Below I show you this colour and JAAF #13 'Ao Iro'. Thorpe said the dark blue was "faded and chalky" so maybe the same colour originally. The nearest FS matches are not close.
I have encountered dark blue also used in Burma for Ki-43 operating at night. The faded dark blue scheme shown below was described in detail by an RAF pilot who saw it in daylight and at close range. The white fuselage hinomaru borders were over-painted in "a darker red colour".

One foreigner commercial magazine looking for 50 color profiles of F3F fighter. Color profiles have to present all of the unit color variation as well different unit have different colors and area of application. Profile have to include from side view nose and tail and topside wing for the chevron stripe. Anybody interesting?
