Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I assume the crew was KIA? The book never said if the bodies were recovered. Forgot if it said MIA or KIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 BTW can anyone tell me where I can get good images for F-22 paint schemes? Isometric or combinations of views would help. I've customized 2 of the True Heroes F-22's for my GI Joe figures, and plan on customizing more. The 1st 2 were with stickers only but for the next ones, I want to dwelve into paint.

Turns out my custom F-22 for my custom Slipstream figure turned out somewhat accurate with sticker placement! What kind of gray is used for the surface edges?

David Hingtgen Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The color used on the edges is unknown, even ARC's resident Raptor pilot doesn't know AFAIK. 36375 is the the most common one I've seen listed, I'd probably go with something warmer. 36440? 36307?

Ghost Train Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, an airline pilot was 1 step below an astronaut.... now, it's only 1 step above a bus driver. Though bus drivers aren't allowed to flip open the laptop for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Lockheed says the JSF is not delayed, it's merely experiencing "schedule growth". In other news, it's not overweight either, it's just had some mass growth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Hingtgen Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Super-Er Hornet: http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/blogs/defen...bd-7371ec37016f Summary/commentary: JSF for USN delayed to 2016 at the earliest. Combined with overall US fighter gap due to few F-22s, USN highly considering buying 124 more Super Hornets, and possibly more for Australia too.

VT 1010 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I say we call it the Super DUPER Hornet. Before this is over, they're going to run out of letters. I say they go full circle and call it the F/A-17C Super Cobra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nied Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 David beat me to the Super Duper Hornet, but Boeing has also unveiled a new 1/16 model of it's F/A-XX concept which looks pretty cool. At the same time they've also unveiled a refined version of that same concept which looks pretty ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Yeah, it's obvious that Boeing still keeps the X-32's designer on the payroll. Nobody else could make planes that ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
