Using the Monogram F-5E kit, put the recce nose on and have Khemed use it alongside their F-100s.

Anyone know much about the 1/48 GIIC Resin T-38 kit from Brazil?

The pictures of them I've seen made up look quite good, along with the other versions they make (F-5E/F/etc).

Is that the same mob who do the Super-Tucano in 1/72 and 1/48? I've only seen them on Evilbay and they seem to have disappeared at the moment.

Are you referring to the simple recce nose that replaces the radome, a carary-over from the F-5A, or the full-out recce fit of the Rf-5E Tiger Eye?

Yep. I have a pair of their 1/48 Super Tucano's which look good. I am curious if anyone has played with or has seen any reviews re the T-38.

The kit-included little nose. The reason why? I don't want to buy the Tigereye kit.

I can appreciate that. I'm thinking, still, that said small recce nose, with the guts of a Sniper pod replacing the cameras and the radar boxes behind it, would make a good fast - FAC aircraft.

Agree! :). It's one of my favorite what if suggestions.

During the civil war in Libya, considering the great interests of multinational oil involved, it would be possible to display mercenaries funded bodies, instead of involving national forces.
A Tool of these companies could be models light combat aircraft such as the F-20 Tigershark in the line of Bp, Shell and Repsol, with its parade colors or low visibility combat camo
I made with some fantasy and little touch of irony, several proposals of the F-20 on corporate service.

the BP ones look cool ... should probably be based in the gulf west of Florida to keep the press away

Ending the cycle of corporate Tigersharks, could not be absent the Chevrons quadrons, company with long lineage and countless number of divisions, such as chevrons fighter-bombers.

Finally and reaching higher levels of sophistication the F-20 B "Wild Weasel" of Texaco squadrons like "Sheriffs & CowBoys" , specializing in the suppression of enemis radars, using the powerfull Harm, and with his second crew dedicated to weapons systems and surveillance.

Here are some design studies for what became the N-156, from the secret projects forum.

capttom · « **Reply #92 on:** November 28, 2013, 05:48:36 AM »

A few more. All handsome craft.

Finally, a vertical launch rocketplane version to compete with the NAA X-15.

Some of these designs are so elegant

?

elmayerle · « **Reply #95 on:** November 29, 2013, 03:51:46 AM »

I haven't had the time to get over there much, have good drawings of the N-285B naval trainer and light-strike development shown up?

capttom · « **Reply #96 on:** November 30, 2013, 10:31:38 AM »

I don't get over to the secret projects forum much, either, and haven't been there for months; I sometimes have connectivity issues and can't log on. I can't say what might be available lately.

Complete whiif idea: fit a tailless delta wing and then fill out the area-rule waisting in the fuselage.

Something like this?

(taken from a thread on Secret Projects about alternatives to the ATF program, in this case an upgraded F-20 design)

Wouldn't that increase the trans-sonic drag and make it slower?
