Holy thread revival Batman! It's been FIVE years!  :o Thanks to Photobukkit's shenanigans  ::), I've now put my stuff on Flickr. I promised to put all my profile stuff in this thread five years ago, but... that was then. Hoping to actually follow through with that promise now. And I've used bigger versions of the previous pics.

Allons-y! Speaking of which, here are some French Eagles (Aigles)!

First up are two versions in Mirage F.1 colours.

F-15A of EC 1/12 Cambrésis from 1978

F-15A of EET 5/330 "Côte d'Argent" in Tigermeet markings

Two participants of Operation Daguet, the French effort in the 1991 Gulf War
They were able to bag some Iraqi Foxbats with the very fast Matra Super 530Ds.
In Mirage 2000 camo and equipped with an IFR probe.

In experimental camouflage.

Across the pond to Canada.
Suggested by "Trigger" on ARC way back when, leafy roundels for everyone!  :icon_beer:

"Balkan Rat" - OP Allied Force ground-pounder with LANTIRN and GBU-10. The rat tail art is just about visible at the top of the tail.

Canadian Tiger!

Nightmare 01 - just love the tail-art!

Best Tigermeet scheme ever!

And since we're talkin' "Best Tigermeet schemes", here's another one!

What if the Shah had decided against the Tomcat and bought Eagles instead?

Eagle in Asia Minor:

The new Tomcat scheme:

Apart from being clad in the cool P-3 camo, this Eagle uses Sea Eagle ASMs for anti-shipping operations. Sea Eagles because the Sea Harriers operated off the Iranian Navy's Invincible-class carriers also use this ASM.

Turkey: What if the F-4E "Terminator 2020"-programme didn't take off and another solution was needed?

F-15E-TuAF-Korsan by Motschke, on Flickr

Back to the US:

Ambush!

Vandy One:

And that's all I've got as far as old Eagle profiles are concerned. Got a couple more new ones in various stages of completion, but haven't worked on them in ages.
I'll try and upload profiles of other stuff once I find the original files.
Cheers,
Moritz

^ Glad you like 'em!  :smiley:

The following profiles were inspired by an "artist's impression" posted by "ysi-maniac". It shows the Ram-J, the prototype of what was to be the Su-25 Frogfoot. I suppose it might look like a Su-25 when seen through a satelite's "bird's" eye", buit in profile, it looks quite different. I took the profile below, enlarge it and traced it in MS Paint, then erasing the colours. A bit tedious, but worth it.

Didn't like the generic and rather un-Soviet bombs of the artists impression and swapped them for something a little more suitable.

The PLANAF Su-39 was inspired by another what-if profile, namely Logan Hartke's Su-39 (LINK!)

The Jigabachi AV from Ghost in the Shell in various whif guises.

The line art is a traced scan of the instruction sheet in Kotobukiya's 1/72 kit. I tried my hand at Gimp for the slanted roundels.

The experimental camo on this one was inspired by a profile of a Mitsubishi F-2 in desert camo drawn by "Gary_F".
