Beautiful!!  I'm especially loving your F-20's.  Any chance of seeing one or two in 111th FIS markings?  They are out of Ellington Field, near Houston and I'd love to see a F-20 done up as their 90th anniversary aircraft instead of an F-16.

An FAA Kfir in the Falklands with kill markings for two Harriers





A French Mirage G8





A Soviet MiG21 dedicated to "Comrade Alina" with 2 F16 and 1 F4 Pakistani Kill Markings

Close ups are available on all - just click on the image and then select the zoom function in the new window.  For example, here's one from a few pages back:



Moreover, if you click on the above image you will see an even higher rez version.

Lately there have been a lot of rumours in Italy about Italian Tornados now involved in Recce mission to be turned to attack. Here is a Sand-Spinach Tornado in Somalia attacking Al-Shabab and based in Djibouti





This one was posted some months ago and I have revised it





Here a revised SAAF Mirage 2000 (Originally posted more than 5 years ago)





... and Finally the Texas ANG F20 operating in Serbia

.... I have completed the upgrade of the MiG21, the reason of all this fixation with this airplane in VVS markings is this: when I was a teenager I had the opportunity to visit the USSR, Gorbachev had risen to power just two weeks before the trip so we were still in the stagnation era, coming back home, it was a Sunday Morning and on this Moscow-Rome Aeroflot flight, I was able to see from my window, some thousand feet below, a VVS MiG21 flying, it was very emotional. So here you could see ""Maria" coming back home after the "Victorious Retreat" from Afghanistan, when the reformed Soviet Army defeated Mujaideen and mainly Pakistan Army......





In additon with got this Italian F104G involved in the skirmishes with Yugoslavia....

All three of those great looking :) twin jets are candidates to be re-engined with versatile J85.
Whether ones as found in A-37 up to F-5E version.  Call it aviation hotrodding.
How about Me-262 with J85-GE-21B engines serving Luftwaffe in 60s thru 80 ?
Serving USAF in SEA or Desert Storm ?

That Israeli Airacomet looks very "right". Can't be worse than the S-199!

..... I continue with my tribute to France with a

Bell P59



.. A Mirage 5



.... and a Rafale for which current events gave me a double inspiration, the Russian-French "alliance" against Daesh made me think about the "Normandie-Niemen" Squadron, while the probable use of RAF Akrotiri brought me back memories of "Operation Musketeer"



... we got also a "retooled" Phantom I dedicated to "Nurse Pam"



... and finally a real "What if" the infamous Reggiane 2007, that it is suspected to be "created" after the war by Reggiane Chief Designer Ing. Roberto Longhi, to have credit amongst the allies.

..... quite busy lately, but I read an article on Tibet before being a part of PRC and so I guessed what if the US in 1949 seeing that Komintang was losing the war starts sending some airplanes and volunteers to the Tibetan Army ...........

The Ki-98 is especially nice, will you paint a push-pull derivative or should I do it crediting you for the source?

Thanks! Here is it:

No need to send a blank bitmap source, while - if you have a vector source - I may play a lot more with it... :D
EDIT: the cooling air-intakes and exhausts seem to prove this push-pull has no nose engine, but it is possible as the Canton-Unné 1910: a big double rear-engine drives a pusher propeller and a nose propeller through a shaft... (to prevent torque)
