Pretty much the perfect "shark mouth" scheme, I'd say. :smiley:

Something like that on a F-20 would have been cool.

Quite.  That's such a temptation with the kits I have in either 1/72 or 1/48.

Carl and all ...

Is it just me, or are other people not seeing the photos Carl posts?

Not a trace of them. Nary a broken link.

Strange.

Sorry, it's you, dude!

As it’s #SelfieDay, it could only be this one. Taken by the brilliant Katsu Tokunaga from the back seat of my jet as Red 10 in 2014 at RAF Akrotiri. Best #selfie ever in my opinion! #NationalSelfieDay #TBT

A DHC-7-150IR to be exact.  Here are some different views showing it in a different scheme:




It would be something different to model.  It originally had higher gross weight and increased fuel capacity. It is used for ice patrol, mapping and other survellance work. It has an observatory dome on top of the fuselage and bubble windows out each side and. A side looking airborne radar (SLAR) can take a continuous picture 50 miles on each side of the aircraft. The SLAR can see the ground or icebergs through cloud and at night. Radar and camera images can be sent to ground stations and CCG icebreakers via an S-band downlink transmitter. A glass bottom bay holds a Zeiss large-format mapping camera to take pictures out the bottom of the aircraft.
All hail the God of Frustration!!!
