Hallo to all... ;)
I open my topic for presentation of my creations here....
At first I have some new pics of what I call "Standardized camouflage scheme of Czechoslovak Air Force" from so-called "Blue line" of history.
"Blue line" is alternative world,where Czechoslovakia was not a communist state after Coup d´état in february 1948 and was one of founding members of NATO.
I hope,that more my pics I will give here soon.... ;)

Panther, YOU THE MAN!!!!!!!! 8) 8) 8) 8)
The late and desert schemes are just what I had in mind. Been wanting to do a helo for a long while now, but couldn't find something that I liked. Got it now!
-
Excellent! ;D
-
Chooks look great Panther.
Regards,
John
-
Nice as all these are, something about L200D makes it my favorite. Can't explain it, but that is favorite among all these fine renderings.

Something new..... Messer tested in Czechoslovakia..... camouflage is "Mobilisation standard"... ;)
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/Cz%20war%201940/Bf-109E-1cz1en.png)
-
That looks gorgeous and very realistic.
Cheers,
Logan
-
Many thanks :-[ :-[
I only use scheme from Avia B.35 prototype.... ;)
Maybe I try to make a splinter scheme with the same colors,like previously this I use on "captured Bf-110" :D :D I must found this picture and then I give them here... ;)
P.S. a few minutes and I found this .....
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/Cz%20war%201940/Me-110c.png)
-
Hi Panther
I really like the -110, It is close to an idea I had for a Czech -110 on the eastern front. Just needs the yellow theatre markings.
Geoff
-
I really like your Mobilization Camo there Panther! Often I like to imagine the fearless Czechs holding off the onslaught. A few Me-109s turned against their former owners wouldn't hurt!
Nice work!
Brian da Basher
-
very nice, those would look good in plastic too, something different for the Czech what if tables 8)
-
Many thanks to all.... :icon_alabanza:
Now something more modern then "Ex-Luftwaffe Emil"....

Hot damn, these are cool! (http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m309/ChernayaAkula/Emoticons/ukliam2.gif) Lovin' this type of camouflage!
-
Agree totally, very cool cammies.
Regards,
John
-
Very nice stuff here.
I'll be looking forward to some of them coming to life on the WHIFF table at ModelBrno. :)
-
New pic.... Only joke,or future in reality? Who know.... ;D
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/Doodles/F-22JASDF_Aggressor_1.png)
-
Next Aggressor.... this and previous are made on base of JASDF F-15DJ Aggressors.....
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/Doodles/F-22USAF_Aggressor_2.png)
-
Since the F-22 tooling has been carefully stored and steps taken to preserve the logistics base, it's not impossible that it could be put back in production for a sale to Japan, assuming our Congresscritters could be persuaded to allow such a sale.
-
I´m so sorry,elmayerle.... I think,that I´m in a "What if" world... I guess I'm wrong................ :icon_crap:
-
Nope, just ahead of the game, possibly. Now the real 'what if" is expecting the US Congress to behave with a modicum of intelligence and authorize such a sale. I like your take on them and I expect I'll be dedicating a couple Trumpeteer 1/144 kits to these markings.
-
My dear comrade.....use these sketches like You want...
So....now I have "under work" third "Aggressor Raptor" in japanese manner... ;)
-
Third "Future Aggressor" inspired by japanese F-15CJ Aggressors....
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/Doodles/F-22JASDF_Aggressor_3.png)

In "Cz What if SIG" we today stared new group build.... Focke - Wulfs 190´s GB http://www.modelforum.cz/viewforum.php?f=633 (http://www.modelforum.cz/viewforum.php?f=633)
So...an for comrade Greifsmaker I make two draws for inspiration ;D

-
Really nice stuff Panther.
Regards,
John
-
me likey 8) the subtle difference with the toning down of the markings shows really well in comparisim between the two artworks, for completeness you should do one in post armistice markings circa 1946 with the yellow areas and roundels overpainted in green and smaller sized roundels applied :D
cheers, Joe
-
Very good job on the Doras and Salamanders
-
Next reconstructions of Israeli He-162s....
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20IDF/He-162_IDF_1b1.png)

-
Post-WW II finnish "Langnase Dora" (Longnose Dora).... but I think,that this is not so exactly,what tsrjoe want from me... :(
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20Ilmavoimat/Fw-190D-9_Suomi_3.png)
-
Your Dora is really cool.
-
:) looks really good, neat profiling, definately suits the roundels 8) there were a number of short nosed 190's based in Finland during the Continuation War, its be an easy step to imagine the type ending up in service with the Ilmavoimat had the war lasted a year or so further
cheers, Joe
-
Actually, a post-war Ilmavoimat Short Nose Fw-190 (maybe something such as a A8 or F8) would look great.
-
If He-162 wings were flipped over front edge becomes rear. Control surfaces now on striaght out rear edge. May not be be faster, but would look faster.
-
Next load of my work.... One of czech comrades asked me for my "Standard Blue zone camo" for F-16 ....
And I make all sort of "standardized schemes"... ;D
So...I have too variant with Low-vis marking.... ;)

These would look great on plastic or in real life.
-
Nice to see the Viper in something other than grey.
Regards,
John
-
REEEEEEEEEEEEALLY like that jungle scheme.
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Those are lovely, Panther.
Cheers,
Logan
-
These would look great on plastic or in real life.
Yes they are great. ;D
-
Gorgeous single-seat F-16s. Any chance of seeing the same schemes applied to late-model two-seaters (i.e. ones with the doral spine for extra equipment)? Application of the conformal fuel tanks is optional.
-
REEEEEEEEEEEEALLY like that jungle scheme.
:-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Me Too! Me Too! :-*

Great Sokols
-
OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!
-
Many thanks to all..... apropo: "Sokol" in czech is "Falcon" in english .... ;)
Something new from me....
A little preparing for What if Group build with Czechoslovak Mobilisation camouflages....
A scheme Greygreen/Brown/Black olive is intended for Bomber planes, scheme Ochre/Brown/Dark green is intended for Fighter and Reconnaisance planes.
Scheme Khaki/Aluminium dope is standard Czechoslowak scheme in years 1926 - 1938.
Before mobilisation planes bore Regimental signs. Letter denotes the Flight, the number indicates the order in the Flight.

Given the close relationship the Czechs had with the British, the various bombers are more than appropriate and very nice to boot!
Regards,
John
-
How about a Fairey Battle?
-
So,John.... in really history Czchoslovakia wanted to buy Blenheims , but the British were not willing to agree. And then Czechoslovakia bought soviet (russian) SB-2 and license rights for building them under designation Avia B-71.....
But we live in "alternative spaces",where British sold to Czechoslovakia not only Blenheims (as a compensation for the light bombers and Reconnaissance planes), but heaviest planes for compensation for the out of date Blochs MB-200 ..... but..... they may be can be replaced by Blochs MB-210 ... Now...thats not so bad Idea....because in really world Czechoslovakian closest ally was a France....
Now I make a lot of drawings.... I hope,that later do I make at least a "simply history background".... or simpliest "timeline" for all this my drawings... :D
-
Thanks for the info Panther. I had meant the relationship the Czechs shared with the British during the War as part of the RAF.
Regards,
John
-
next my draws....

So....last (Reccon) Blenheim is a little bit faulty.....because does not have the marking....
Here is (Reccon) Blenheim with full marking and Wellesley in reccon colours....

Different!
-
Beautiful work but how about some earlier trade the other way, say an Avia Bk.534 Serie IV or Serie V (Serie IV with the cantilever main gear from the B.634) in mid-thirties RAF silver markings?
-
A few RAF Avias B-534 (srs. III and IV) I have here http://s730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20RAF/ (http://s730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20RAF/) ......
I posted them previously on whatifmodelers.com in my "Doodles" .....
-
When you paint IL-28 in RAF colors,,,,, well,,,,, it looks like real RAF aircraft.
Good job :)
-
A few RAF Avias B-534 (srs. III and IV) I have here [url]http://s730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20RAF/[/url] ([url]http://s730.photobucket.com/albums/ww303/PoorWhistler/What%20if%20RAF/[/url]) ......
I posted them previously on whatifmodelers.com in my "Doodles" .....
Ah, I missed them. Very nice work indeed. I wonder how a B.534-III would look with a Kestrel? Or one imported into th USA and fitted with a Curtiss Conqueror?
-
Ooops....
I look on my PC and I have about 1200 sketches of What if planes...You know....real planes with What if camouflages.... ;)
And because most of them is only on czech Modelforum or on Whatifmodelers, and some of "beyoundthesprues members" not seen them there , I try give some my creations here.... In "Type sortied" sections...
Maybe some of them will be doubled..... some are here.....
So...at firts all my Avia B.534 creations.... At first srs.III.

Gorgeous 534's Panther
-
Awesome stuff! :-*
-
Fabulous B-534 schemes. Surprising that they ALL look so correct for the various countries as if all flew the B-534. :)
-
Damn, those look fabulous. You do an excellent job of capturing the feel of each air arm represented.
-
"Elementary,dear Watsons..." :D
I only use camouflage schemes of countries (Air forces),what they use in needed time. Its the same,like I make soviet Tu-128 in USAF camoschemes... ;)
-
Very nice Avias!
-
very nice avias.................specially since ive just finished an eduard 1/48 B534 which did not turn out as expected....can see it getting whiffed sometime in the future ;)
-
So....its about one year back,I was build Eduards 1:48 B.534 (IV srs.) in proposed Czechoslovak mobilsation camouflage from year 1938....and now I have "in work" B.534 III.srs in RAF desert colors and B.534 IV.srs in French camouflage.... ;)

-
I really like the USCG one.
I wonder how the Gannet would go as a more modern equivalent to the Fairey Battle in the land attack role?
-
I agree. The early RAAF tactical scheme is very complementary. I just may buy a kit now.
-
No surprise that the Avia B.534 looks good in both of those schemes ;) I'm especially looking forward to the III.srs in RAF sand-and-stone!
-
Some brilliant stuff Panther. The RAAF Gannets are particularly inspired.
Regards,
John
-
Many thanks,my Master Maverick.... ;)
Onemore Gannet.... :D

-
Love the Gannets! :)

Something from my archive....
I have a new account on photobucket,where sketches were assorted on subalbums by types... Now there are only first seven types. Next come ASAP. Some sketches (mainly olders) need a little bit of reworking.
Now comes Bearcats....

Very nice stuff indeed Panther. The Starfighters are particularly nice. What's the story with the US Bearcat tho? It's got WW2 era camo & unit marking, post war national markings and a USAAF style serial.
Regards,
John
-
John,this USN Bearcat is .... maybe from a little bit different history,then real... a make this only like a joke.... :D
-
I figured that'd be the case. I was just curious as to the background.

Some really nice stuff there Panther. As always, the Ameoba schemes are particularly nice.
Regards,
John

Many thanks.... F-128A was a custom work....
And John,If I remember good,one of this amoebas on Phantoms was Your choice ..... :D

I believe you're quite right there Panther. The scheme looks good for anything!
Regards,
John

The Brazilian fisher and the f-4s look so good!

Fisher or Fisherman? I was think,that this is Fiddler ;D

Fat fingers!!! ;)

I love both the Fiddler and Phantom collections. -grin- I'm particularly pleased by the use of Bill Ward's art as nose art; he was quite good at what he did.

Seconded :)
Constellation is one of top strata of airplanes with natural high style and cool 8)

How about some Maritime Patrol versions possible with MAD boom or even a KC-121?
What about a Connie Bomber like the XB-30?
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5a/Lockheed_XB-30.jpg)
A bomber conversion could be popular in the third world in the 1960s giving long range strike using second hand airliners.
-
Connie like a "Third-world-fast-bomber"? OK,i can try it..... ;)
So now something new and somethink older....
One more Israeli "Super Connie" (this I want to build).....and few older sketches of Warthog...

Love the 3-tone Ilmavoimat scheme above and the CF-134M as well!

(just for officialdom, nothing more-the titling should read NAVAL instead of ARMADA on the Seafire and perhaps the Fury, depending on the time. Armada was in put into effect around early 1960s, forget specific date)

Love those Furies, perhaps some FJ-4Ms, too?

To let the cat out of of the bag, one of my Samsung Aircraft Northrop Aviation (http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,35413.0.html) builds is going to be the B-31A Vendetta based on the E 555. So one in NMF with South Korean "Pepsi" markings would be helpful.

Another scheme for another Revell kit... ;)

love the Arado 555 schemes, i really should build that winter example def looks good
mmm the Messerschmitt 1099 really does look good tho, definately suits the Ilmavoimat Continuation War scheme 8)
id really love to see a similar scheme applied to the other 'Luft 46' types in the Revell range, eg. BV.194, FW. Flitzer, Ta.183, even the 555 as im sure it would make for a really neat set
many thanks for sharing, cheers, Joe

Thanks,tsrjoe....
One friend make story of some different WW II,and this is make especially for kitbuilders. He use mainly planes . which is possible to buy and make them for this "different history line".
Don´t worry...more of this come later.
But unfortunately,this story is too big and is not ready yet.. :(

The low-viz & tiger tails are particularly nice. The grey/green schemes are quite reminiscent of the Dutch Tigers which would tie in with a NATO-aligned Czech nation.

You do realize that all of these F-5E schemes would be equally applicable to F-20's? That could make for a fascinating selection of "alternate" F-20s where Northrop actually managed to get export sales.
-
([url]http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20F-5/F-5E_CzAF_7f.png[/url])
They're all great, but this one especially so! :)
-
To Elmayerle : so,I think,that all this F-5E camouflage schemes are applicable for all planes of "Freedom Fighter family"..... from F-5A to F-20 ... In the same manner as scheme for F-16C is applicable for all F-16´s family planes... ;)
To ChernayaAkula: can You make F-5E in this scheme? I (and few CzWhat if SIG mates) have nice kit F-5E from Hobby Boss and now I have a great dilemma - what of scheme to use .... ;D
-
I'll admit that I'm sorely tempted to do an armed FX-29 up in one of these schemes.
-
....and why not? Go on ! ! ! ;)
-
Next F-5E.....

For elmayerle:
I try to make F-29A.... simply X-29 vith nose section from F-5E.... is this possible?
But I dont´know , what marking You want....and there is sketch without any marking....
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20F-5/F-29A_Desert_Tiger_1.png)
-
Nice F-29,also I like Czech Tigers with low viz markings.
-
That looks great! :)
Maybe a USANG version next?
-
I love that F-29, though I'd likely be using a F-20 nose (subtly different contours to allow for a more capable radar fit). But, yeah, that scheme looks most excellent.
-
Really nice stuff Panther. I used F-5A, B, E, F & RF-5E & F-20 noses on some that I did some time ago. This allowed a progression of capability within the same baseline airframe. The desert scheme is quite fetching indeed.
-
Wonderful F-29 :-*
-
Something new..... ;)
Marking "LB" is for manufacturer Lockheed/Boeing...
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20F-22/F-22_SI.png)
-
:)
-
Oh very nice!!
-
ooh very nice, i like the what if Finnish examples, 8)
teeny teeny suggestions, since the 80's the Ilmavoimat have been using reduced diameter roundels on their aircraft, the serials and codes are invariably black, the two colour step over type being a wartime scheme feature.
as a possible reference source for the F.5E Tiger, a type actually looked at on paper by the Ilmavoimat, perhaps the BAe Hawk Mk.51 as delivered might provide inspiration, the wavy raised demarcation (also seen on Mig.21bis, Fokker Friendship, etc) also adds to the schemes distinctiveness as well as the bronze green, olive drab, light aircraft grey camouflage
the F.22, definately different (i recently completed a model of the similar Sukhoi T.50 in Finnish colours as a JSF. alternate !) id love to see a profile of one in 'standard colours' grey tones but with the Finnish reduced size roundels possibly with a pale grey replacing the white on the marking ?
again really neat profiling, its great to see some more Ilmavoimat examples on your pages too :D
cheers, Joe

BolianAdmiral asks for an F-22 Raptor in the "Jolly Rogers" scheme ..... and I concur -- you could enter it in the Pirate GB (http://www.forumup.co.uk/images/smiles/slider_pirates.gif) ;)

US Navy´s F-22 ?
Here I give a "SeaRaptor" from VF-2 - http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=378.210 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=378.210)

cool that really does look sweet, different too in the low vis markings 8)
many thanks indeed for indulging me, cheers, Joe
-
I love the Finnish F-5E and F-22. Just a thought, how about their using F-18E/F's to replace their F-18A/B's? And then picking up some items from Boeing-St. Louis' development plans - conformal tanks, low RCS weapons pod, IRST, etc.?

-
Subtle. :)
-
So....comrade Novis have Predtor and Reaper redy for painting... ;)
-
These UAV satellite "canopies" have always reminded me of the Xenomorph heads from Aliens, but seeing this, I reckon a Predator's mask could also be made into a suitable nose-art.
I like those hard edge/feathered edge camo stripes. Really nice indeed! :)
-
Something new....personally for me... ;)
Czechoslovak Air Force trainer Texan from atfter WW II era.... Is just under work...

P.S. last time I have a "build sessions" then "drawing sessions".... some pics of my builds are here: http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=253&t=24682&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=2400 (http://modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=253&t=24682&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=2400)

Nice work.

One of my fellows ask me for "Advertising plane" in "Milka cow" scheme..... I make this for him....
Second (without name "Milka" ) is now "under construction" with minor differencies (without national marking and with civil registration) ;)
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20Spitfire/Milka-cow_2.png)
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20Spitfire/Milka-cow.png)
So....after "Milka cow" i make some few other draws for "Advertising Flight"... My idea is to built few kits in schemes with advertising on non-military products.....
So here are some,where I make ..... but.... mainly on Czech products....therefore I try to give here annotation on specific products in english.
And besides Mi-17,L-29 and L-39 (these are my own initiative) are others "custom works" for comrades modellers.... ;D
At first MiG-21 MF "Kofola" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kofola)
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/PantherG%20pics/KofoloMiG-21MF.png)
......Who dont know "Kinder Surprise"? In Czech republic popularly known like "Kinder Eggs"....
And Happy Hippos? Figures of these serie around "Hipp" are logically choice.... ;D
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/PantherG%20pics/HappyHippo.png)
Next is "czech speciality".... popular czech chocolate bar with coffee flavour filling (since 1923)....
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/PantherG%20pics/L-39CKofila_mod1.png)
..another czech speciality....PEDRO was very popular (and almost only) chewing gum in Czechoslovak Socialist Republic in years 1968 - 1990
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/PantherG%20pics/L-29APedro.png)
And now something different,than candies ;D
I think,that any comment is superfluous...... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Nice stuff!
I quite like the Kofila Albatros and Kofola MiG-21.
-
the Happy Hippo Hip does it for me ! ;D :)
-
Great looking and very different profiles
-
Love the commercial liveries but I'm with raafif -- your Happy Hippo Hip takes the cake :)
-
So,mans.... Wait few weeks (so...maybe months) and I make "Happy Hippo" in 1:72 scale.... ;)
-
Your last profiles reminded me of an old thread on the other forum

Something "a little bit different"....
For my boss I make kit Airbus A 319 (1:144 Revell)... just before painting in box scheme (British Airways) boss say me,that he like an FedEx scheme on airplanes...then I rework this kit to A 319 F "Cargobus"....
I must windows fill and add a cargo door... I hope,that finished kit I will present soon...
Here is a scheme or paint job....

FedEx Express scheme looks right on to me.
Could you do a FedEx Express on any one of: B-58, B-70, SR-71
A bashers brain can't help it - popped to mind second I saw the 319 :-[

Really like the Buccaneer schemes. Would make sense too when you consider the German Navy previously operated the Hawker Sea Hawk.
-
So...I think....Seahawk in three-colour camouflage scheme will be look wery good...but this scheme is from 80´...and this time Seahawk too long will by out of service :(
So...and few more pics...Messerschmitt Bf-110 G-2´s
At first three Czechoslovak "Messers".... they were after WW II used like fighter-bombers,letar few of them like fast liaision aircraft.
In 1949 probably 15 "Messers" were sold to Israel and by "Operation Velveta IV" delivered (by air via Yugoslavia) to Israel.
There were they used like heavy fighters against Egyptian "bombers" C-47 and like fighter-bomber too.
When Avia S-199 was known like "Knife",Bf-110 were known like "Sword"....

I love the Buccaneer schemes, I'll likely use some for my Marineflieger versions, though mine will have both the bulged bay and the SAAF long-range tanks as well as the SAAF rocket installation for quick get-aways. I figure tanks inboard and Komorans on the outboard pylons.
-
Good idea,elmayerle ;)
-
I love these. They're great. For me, they're something special about the green Hornet, too.
Cheers,
Logan

Y'know, if I was to do one in that scheme, I'd so want to list Britt Reed as the pilot, just to see how many people got the joke.
Okay, a show of hands, please. How many of you got the joke above and can describe what the joke is?
-
Love the Israeli ones and the Luftwaffe A-6
-
Lovin' those Buccs! :-*
<...> Now alternate planes for West Germany Naval air Force - Marineflieger der Bundes Luftwaffe.... ;D
<...>
You want awkward names? How about the PLANAF, the People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force? ;D
-
Love those Buccs!
-
Love those Buccs!
Love those Buccs too!
Part of wings that folds up could replace Bf-110 wings outside of engines. In profiles or styrene.

Beautiful!! I wonder if the Super Etendards could carry Komoran missiles in place of their AM-39s?
-
Kormoran? Why not...in versin Super mystére A (for Allemande)... ;)

So...here I have first two pics of Israeli´s Buccaneers....
Later scheme (three-coloured) I have now in work :rolleyes:

-
From the date, would an assumption of AS.30s and/or rocket pods as the main armament be reasonable? Or would they more likely just be carrying iron bombs?
-
Hmmm...interesting. Would also be nice to see Israeli Bucc's in latter colour schemes.
-
..hmm...something like this? ;)

very nice...to be followed of course by Me-410s... ;)
-
Heh! I went into the storage part of the house to see if Airfix' 1:48 SuE and Bucc S2B were still there. Yes they are! :) :) :) The Bucc is about 1/3 done with most of the hard stuff out of the way including the NeOmega cockpit. I really like that tri color Israeli machine and SuE!
-
I am sorry,Daryl J. , but....what is Sue? Maybe Super Etendard?
I ask only,because I´m "poor bolsheviks era child"...... :-\
-

Yes, the SuE is the Super Etendard's nickname.
I really like the German Etendard and Super Etendard profiles. They look like they belong in those schemes.

Love the last Israeli Spit! :)
-
So...next load of sketches....
My friend built Spitfire Mk.XIV (Academy 1:72) like a RAF High altitude Long Range Fighter.....for support of USAAF bombers....and I make scheme for this..... This Spit carried two paper drop tanks (108 gal.) under wing and large "Spitfire belly tank" under fuselage...
I hope,that pics of completed model come soon ;)
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20Spitfire/SpitMkXIV_2mod_zpseed52020.png)
In the same manner scheme I make for myself Mustang Mk.IV ( kit Italeri 1:72)
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20P-51%20and%20P-82/MustangMkIV_1_zps89f4bb8c.png)
So...and next is my own pure theory....
Bronco Mk.I aka P-82 Twin Mustang in RAF service.... Long range High altitude scheme and standard scheme...
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20P-51%20and%20P-82/P-82E_RAF_zpsaa04170a.png)

Something's not quite right about the tail on those Broncos ???

A little bit different Spitfire.
My friend and comrade Ujik ask me yesterday evening for this scheme. If is possible to give Colours from Mustang to Spitfire....
Some hour of work and picture was ready....

Wonderful profile.
The USAAC never flew enough Spitfire Marks nor flew them in NMF. I intend to fix that mistake. :)
Do you take requests?
-
OMG :-X :-\ :icon_crap:
at first: this Spitfire Mk.XIV is in marking of USSAF ,not USAAC......
at second: Please remember,that here is WHAT IF forum.....

The red tail gives the Spitfire a very special look. Very nice!

My bad. I should have typed USAAF. :(
Anyways I have plan (which really is a way to use up all my duplicate Spitfire kits and others) to have the USAAC become a separate and dedicated air force for the US Army. Something about the USAAF not wanting to share their toys. ;D
-
Ah so.... now its more clear ;)
So...
Comrade Ujik work on his "Red tail Spitfire"

Hello comrade tank commander Panther,
Are you still amongst the living? We haven't seen anything from you in quite awhile old man. You've probably built enough kits by now to stock an entire plastic air force! ;) Give us and update or, better yet, send us a new round of your great profiles! :D
Regards.

I´m sorry for my "long time silence"....I have too much other work :(
Because we wait for our "new baby" - sometime in late july.... ;D

Cool! ;)
-
Just a thought for a simple whif, an Avia B-534, Series IV with the more streamlined landing gear of the B-634.
It's good to see your work here again and it's as beautiful as ever. Got any schemes for Macchi MC.205's? I've found a conversion for a MC-205M with a Merlin installed.
-
Nice! Especially the Letovs.
-
Hello Panther,
Congrats on the new addition to the family :) Liked your new run of profiles, could you please make some Israeli Vampires? Bye-the-bye how is it coming with a possible B-17 and/or FW 200 profile(s)? Any possibility of seeing either in the not too distant future? :D
Best regards,

MiG-19S in USAF
Its important,that not so much is known about use of MiG-19 in USAF.
But go to the beginning.
"Cuban era" of MiG-19 was not so much significant and long. MiGs operated on "Island of Freedom" from November 1961 to the 1965 in strenght of only 12 planes. There should by more of them,but transport of next dozen of them failed.
MiGs were send via ships from UdSSR in crates and marked like agricultural tractors and sewing machines.
This camouflage will be not revealed, if there was hurricane Flora in autumn 1963.
Ship with transported MiGs was driven to the coast of Florida. CIA knew about the shipment and used this chance to take intact soviet planes.
The ship was "fake-sunked" and cargo was unloaded in United States.
All planes were assembled and two of them was hardly tested by USAF.
Remaning ten MiGs were assigned YF-112 and determined to well-known 332. FG "Red Tails".
There they were used in "Special enemy flight" and used like Aggressor flight for development of fighting procedures against them.
Eight planes with numbers 001 to 008 were used in flights,two remaining were destined for spare parts supplying.
P.S. scheme is "custom work" for comrade Randalf and story was made by him.... "poor translating" is my own work. Please excuse me for my bad english ... ;)

PZL P-24G in Finnish service
In late 30´purchased Finnish Air Force about 30 - 40 PZL P-24G planes in Poland. Delivery was completed befor "Talvisota" (Winter war) and P-24G soldiered thru the whole WW II.

These look very "right". I like them a lot. I bet they'd look good in plastic, too.
Given the winter conditions, I'd love to see a few of them without the spats...or on skis!
Cheers,
Logan

Many thanks Logan...
And for those,who loved Finnish planes but don´t love "hakaristi" one of three postvar planes,used like trainers....
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20%20PZL%20P-24G/P-24G_SI_6_zpsa02008bd.png)

sweet, those look stunning, many many thanks indeed for sharing these (il have to pick up at least one other MPM. P.24 now ) 8)
hmm just following Logan's thoughts, a wartime example with overall white uppers and light blue/grey undersurfaces (plus one possibly with white camouflage in place of the black) would look really sweet
brill profiling, kiitos, Joe

Oh yeah! Love those Ilmavoimat PZLs :-*

May I request some RAF P.24s?

Thanks guys....
RAF P-24? Why not..... ;) Now I have P-23 RAF "in work".... :D

Beautiful!!! I'd love to see this carried over to other aircraft like the Phantom II and the Tomcat or even whif-ed aircraft like a navalized F-15.
-
Gee,,, later Skyhawk in first Skyhawk colors & insignia. Works well :)
-
I like the Skyhawks and the Finnish Me-262's
... but I almost spilled my coffee on the keyboard because of the Finnish translation for Swallow...
-
Many thanks guys..... :-[
So...this translators.....Who know,what they think..... :-\
-
'pääsky' (swallow) might work as a direct translation for the 'swallow' ;) (thanks Hannele)
love the Me.262 profiles, very neat indeed and a nice surprise to see :-* the A.4 profiles look amazing, just the thing for the recent Airfix kit :)
Iv seen a note mentioning JG44 were in the process of training a pilot from Finland (as well as 2 from Hungary) at the wars end (interesting as Finland's war ended in 1944 after which they were ostensibly at war with Germany) il try track down its source but i think it was in a Finnish 'Sivet' magazine?
A number of Finns did continue the war against the Soviets after the end of the Continuation war and the subsequent Lapland war against the retreating German forces. I am assuming the pilot referred to was one of those, joining the Luftwaffe at the time of Finlands capitulation to the USSR. ?
again many many thanks for sharing your excellent artworks, kiitos, joe 8)
-
Many thanks for "language corner".....
Next time will be better (I think) to ask them,who know.... ;D ;D
So and now one another A-4 for comrade Novis.... but just now he tell me , that better will be to have "star and stripe" under cockpit...
So it will be need yet another sketch ;D ;D ;D
(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj569/PantherG72/What%20if%20A-4/A-4F_USN_SEAC_zps2baf5043.png)

Very nice, that last one. I can't remember of the A-4 was one of the aircraft the USN experimented with camouflage during the "Southeast Asia Wargames". I know the F-4, RA-5, and A-6 tried it, but I don't remember of the A-4 was included. In any case, this looks gorgeous.

Thanks,

LOL :D After that last run of wild color schemes 8), Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Finland or India (or any comination thereof) would seem to be a "walk-in-the-park" for you. ;)
The thought of my dear comrade Panther shrinking from such a challenge is un-thinkable! :o
Regards,

-
You´re NOT right,my dear Captain.... ???
Because..... If You look close on this psychedelic (wild - like You say) schemes,then will be clear,that all this is in schemes,what I make previously,only colours are changed....
For others Air Forces I must made his own schemes..... I think,that changing only national markings will be boring..... ;) ;D ;D ;D

Comrade Panther,
I see that something has been lost in translation ???
I am not requesting that you do each aircraft on that list ;D As you will notice, in my second message, I clarified my request by adding the word "OR" to the list; leaving it open as to which one (or combination of ones) you might chose to do...if any :icon_surprised:
Good heavens man, asking you to do all of those profiles at once would be a severe abuse of your kindness in providing us with these great profiles :D
Best regards,
CPT Mike
-
Maybe something is lost in translation....but.....
Now I have base colour schemes for finnish and two czechoslovakian A-4´s....
For Yugoslavian a search scheme (colours were like on Yugoslavians F-86)...
and for all them I must give markings on draws.... ;)
-
No problem Panther; it will be worth the wait...
Thanks and regards,

Thank you comrade Panther! :) Very beautifully done; I especially like the Yugo Hawk! 8) The grey/green camo and the full color red stars are a great look! :D Also, the pin-up artwork is fantastic :P Did the Czech AF ever use pin-ups on their a/c? I thought that this was something practiced primarily by us decadent Americans.....
Regards,
CPT Mike

There was an Su-25 that had a pin up girl on it. There were also one or two MiG-21s with pin up nose art as well.
You can find pics of the Su-25 and MiG-21 by scrolling down a bit in this link:

-
So.... in "ČSLA" (Czechoslovak Peoples Army - real history) was all nosearts strictly banned.
Like say Upnorth, few of them appear on planes in 1989,but all this was only shorttime matter....
But in WI world in my so-called "Blue zone" (communist party not win coup de état in 1948) are nosearts and unit badges on planes sometimes to see.....
Like on my Gannets of Cz Navy....and others planes ;)

Is nose art still banned in the Cz armed forces? Now that the commies are gone, is there more freedom to "personalize" one's aircraft with pin up nose art?
-
Today is in czAF too much little of planes,that any personalizing is not so easy...Mainly that only fighters - SAAB JAS-39 Gripen - are leased from manufacturer. Then any paint work MUST be authorized by real owner of planes.That is good visible in "Tiger meets" colouring - all is made not with colours,but with stickers. :icon_crap:

Much as I hate to correct a man of the cloth, those are Argentinian Pirates, not French. They do look stunning, though, don't they?

Heh, the weight of the added paint and the need to repaint the aircraft if/when it's returned to the USMC from lease is one reason all the markings added to the V-22 testbed Bell is flying are similarly appliques rather than paint. *snicker* I can just see a pilot getting a bunch of appliques of his favorite "nose art" printed up and applied to his aircraft of the day, to be removed when he returns it for the nexct pilot to use.

The A-7's and Fw190D-9's definitely intrigue me. Since I just acquired an Italieri kit of the Focke Wulf, I'm very tempted to do one of the ones you show. I'm thinking an A-7F, or upgraded A-7D/E, in those schemes would be fun to do.
-
These are great! I love the A-7 schemes, but the Yugoslavian aircraft are some of my favorites!
Cheers,

oooh very very nice indeed, id been offline for a week or so so missed your recent beautiful Finnish artworks ... perfect, mmm Hampdens, Letovs, PZL. Karas :D (being greedy, we just need the PZL. in the initial green over silver grey and the Hampden in RAF. delivery scheme, hehe !)
the Finnish delegation were certainly aware of the PZL.23 Karas altho it was deemed not required due to the purchase of the Bristol Blenhiem, altho the P.24 and P.37 Los bomber were seriously looked at prior to the outbreak of war
The Hampden again was a type on the UK. 'shopping list' along with the Battle, Spitfire, Hudson, Hurricane and Lysander, the latter two beng realised (the Spitfire was unavaliable and the Hudson could not be purchased through the UK.!)
those He.100's certainly look suitable in the scheme, another one for the to build list :) (the Czechoslovakian example really looks good too in the standard multi colour scheme)
the Finnish Air Force did seriously look at ordering the He.112 prior to the outbreak of war, indeed the type featured on the cover of 'Sivet' a few years back in Finnish markings
again many many thanks for sharing your artworks, cheers, Joe 8)

How about a Polish Hurricane - they did order some but they never actually made it to Poland.

Dear Comrade....
Your mind work like mine ;D
Really was only one Hurricane in Poland....in standard RAF scheme....
My idea is to draw polish Hurricane in three-colour scheme from early autumn 1939....Dark Green,Light Green and Sand...like some their PZL P-11s..... Is Just in work .. ;)
-
Can't wait for outcome 8)
-
Pre war Army Air Corps jets are cool 8)
-
So here come Polish Hurricane from "Spring campaign 1940" (The war started a half year later) ;)
The first variant is right ...without unit marking and without "national chessboard" on top of wing.... but secon variant look better...I think ;)

I am thinking of doing a Polish one in a more subdued scheme akin to this:

So this three-colour scheme was introduced (slowly) in Polish AF from August 1939 like snew standard scheme....

Maybe the israeli ones could simply be some reconditioned, leftover RAF ones from the DAF?

Regards,
CPT Mike

Ummmmmmmmm..."Victor marks"...OK...but...what of marks?
Vichy French cocades? Or "skull with crossbones"? Or another? ???

Hello Panther,
They would most likely be flying against German opposition; most likely against the Luftwaffe units covering Rommel's DAK. So, I would think that the victory marks would have to be Luftwaffe crosses.
Regards,
CPT Mike

Is this acceptable?

Looks great Panther. :D Does 8 victories qualify as "ace"? The US gives you "ace" status at 5 victories; I think the RAF and Luftwaffe gives you "ace" status at 10 victories. I'm not certain which system the IAF follows ???
Regards,
CPT Mike

RAF was 5

What I know, then for qualifiying to an ACE status is 5 "kills" needed anywhere. Just from "Great war".... ;)
Look for Aces 1 , 2 and 3 books from Squadron Signal (I think)....

love your recent artworks, that Finnish 234 really does suit the scheme, heres hoping someone does an injection bird in 32 to go with my Finnish 162 and 262 ! 8) the outbreak of war schemes look really nice, especially the Polish camouflage scheme from the PZL.11 applied on other types, inspirational, are your Dutch Hurricanes :)

Only one little joke from Czech republic:
President Obama comes to fortune teller , because he was afraid of the various wars and asks what will be in 2020.
The fortune teller tells him : " Do not worry, democracy and the truth will win . "
Obama says it's great , and still asks ,
how much will be in New York at McDonald's hamburger stand .
A fortune teller tells him : "One ruble .. "

One of my favourite jokes is still the one where in the future a man is explaining the destruction of the world trade centre by the "Arabs" the meaning of the memorials etc, to his son to which his son replies "Dad what are Arabs"?

Lovely. Seems quite plausible, too. I think the first one looks the most appropriate for Cold War (much like the Warsaw Pact Hinds), but I've always been a sucker for the modern gray 3 color camo with light undersides, so the second from the bottom is my personal favorite.

Hello Panther,
Not to change the subject of your latest run of outstanding profiles, but I have recently acquired a kit of the TU-95 "Bear" and I was considering an Israeli "what if" scheme. Could you please do an Israeli "Bear"; I would like to see what you think one might look like :)
Thanks,

Is possible to be a "Bear - H" ?

Oh, damn, that looks nice. A squadron of those would have a most interesting effect on events in the Middle East.

really nice Finnish Airacobra :) the Finn's did aquire at least one downed example which was under repair at the end of the 'Continuation War'. the aircraft code AC-1 was allocated to the type altho never carried as the aircraft remained unflown and in its original Soviet colours (with US. delivery markings planly visible beneath !)
the aircraft stil survives today, i have enclosed some snaps taken at the Finnish Air Force Museum :)

Hello Panther,
Why not push the European envelope and make a Finnish, an Austrian or a Swiss FC-1? :D
Regards,
CPT Mike
-
I'm liking these! :)
-
Why not my dear comrade Captain,Sir ;D
And few African too... maybe Kenya or some states around Guinea bay... ???
-
I'll agree with CPT Mike, a Swiss one would look excellent and, given that the Swiss public has apparently voted that the next generation Gripen was too expensive, would fit the scenario perfectly. Perhaps the FC-1 could similarly displace the Gripen in Brazil? And how about a navalized FC-1 to replace the Skyhawks on Brazil's aircraft carrier?
-
Why not my dear comrade Captain,Sir ;D
And few African too... maybe Kenya or some states around Guinea bay... ???
I like your thinking comrade Panther; some African examples are an excellent idea! :D Could a Ugandan Thunder be in the offing? Also, I hope you will pursue the Swiss idea. :D
One last thing, back to the TU-95; did you ever model one of these? If so, can you post some pics of this work or give me a link to where you might have posted some pics of this work?
Thanks,
CPT Mike

Love those schemes. I keep thinking it'd be interesting to see USAF aircraft in retro-schemes from the 1930's when they were highly colorful. I'll admit, the thought of a F-15 in 95th Fighter Squadron markings sounds good. *wicked grin* Of course, since the descendant of that squadron is the 95th Reconnaisance Squadron out of Offut AFB, flying "Open Skies" C-135s, the thought of that scheme adapted to a big bird is very, very tempting.
-
stunning Hornets, now those would be something to see 8)
there was in actuality a veterans meeting where a standard F.18C had a pasted on 'von rosen cross' over its standard roundel on one side, i guess it mustv made for quite a talking point when the old boys saw it :D
just musing, any chance of seeing your two grey coloured Hornet in standard markings with white in place of the darker grey as a winter camouflage, i think it would certainly look different (the MiG.21bis and Hawk having appeared in similar schemes)
thinking further re the fully marked up retro scheme, how would it look with the cross marking reduced to that of the standard 24cm of the normal Hornet scheme ? itd be quite tempting to model one and something certainly different on the modelling tables 8)
best wishes, Joe
-
"Winter Hornet"? You mean something like this?
(http://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1011526)
-
Oooh now that looks stunning, im quite surprised something like that hasnt appeared for real as yet, very cool artwork, many thanks indeed 8)
-
I wish I'd seen the Hornet with blue hakaristi...
I'm told the "paint" on modern combat aircraft isn't just colour. Some radar absorbing materials are apparently involved - so changing the colour might involve some complications.
-
Love some snow bugs! Can you try one with some more white on the top? Feel like there isn't enough. Anyone else think that or is it just me?
-
I have one pic of the hakaristi marked Hornet (it looks more like a Mannerhiem Cross in proportion, possibly in hommage to the visiting veterans ?) I will check if ok to post online and will do so 8)
Very true re the surface coatings of modern combat aircraft, some have special ir absorbant undercoats etc and others require certain preperations (i recall seeing Tornado GR.4's being rebuilt which had a dark undercoating in some areas) I guess in certain situations the 'needs must' adage would apply tho, eg. The ATRF. finishes currently used?
Cheers, joe
-
So....about RAM colours.....
Greys or greens...I think that all is only question of moneys....
-
re Ram. colouring and IR. absorbent coatings, anything goes really, its all in the formulation 8)
the 'wiki' entry contains some 'chaff' but is a useful primer for the subject ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar-absorbent_material (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar-absorbent_material)
cheers, Joe
hmm, further to 'Cliffy B's comment, the Hornet would look pretty cool with an overall white upper surface, standard grey unders scheme with standard small markings, as would an example pretty much exactly same as your 'von Rosen cross' example with yellow theatre markings again with the small standard roundels ;)

Finnish Phantoms! :)
-
After work on Finnish "retro-Hornets" I ask myself: What aircraft was used before Hornets? And answer is..... ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
I would imagine that given their location the Finnish Phantoms might have been F-4F versions much the same as the West German F-4Fs with no AIM-7 capability.
-
love the 'low vis' markings on your Finnish Ilmavoimat Phantoms, especially the lynx, def suits the scheme, certainly different 8)
hmm, im guessing a smaller version of the roundel and marking youv depicted will probably appear for real in a decade or so on the Gripen NG or F.35A ;)

It would take some planning, but I'm wondering if a F-18 in camouflage could have a pattern similar to that one classic CH-53E with the "interesting" silhouettes worked into it (desert would work nicely, but wouldn't hurt to see some other color mixes done similarly).

Could I ask if you feel so inclined and have the time any chance of doing a profile - side & upper of an Israeli Douglas Skyraider AD-4W early warning aircraft, in the mid to late 1950's Please, in say the Sand & Blue scheme (I was thinking that the Skyraider was gifted to the israelis off the British FAA post 1956 Suez Crisis era).

It wasn't meant as a criticism - simply showing the real life aircraft in similar scheme.
Would love to see an F-35 in similar.

Shot to my own leg.... "LizzardEagle" is not known to me....
Hope, just one of the many schemes 71-0291 has worn as a demonstrator for St. Louis. Not all of them that well known (I still want to model a "Peek Eagle" RF-15 demo, I'm pretty certain combining two F-14 TARPS pods will give me that recce pod).
I like the idea of the US "bulking up" eastern European air forces after the fall of the Iron Curtain with F-15s; Larry Bond's Cauldron had Polish F-15C/D's and I'd love to see Czechoslavak ones serving along side (I don't know that F-15E's would be transferred immediately, they were still buying those at the time, but the camo would still apply).

I like those, say with J52s replacing the Russian engines.
Any chance of seeing some rotary wing subjects, say the OH-58D in various Eastern European markings, including Ukraine. With the US Army phasing them out, they'd be available for reasonable prices along with TH-57s for training.

The usual usage for the iconic Finnish chocolate is "Fazerin Sininen" (Fazer's Blue) - and "mainontakone" should really be written as one word. "mainoskone" sounds more natural in my ears ... and "jos" is written with O, not Ö.
Did you use the trademarked shade of blue?

Are we going to see later Reggiane designs in foreign markings? I'm thinking a Re.2005 is USAAF markings would be striking, though you might need to replace the engine with a Merlin or advanced Allison (look at Fiat G.59 engine and cowling for inspiration).

Beautiful A-10. Any chance of some first- and/or second-generation Harriers in West German markings? They would be appropriate G.91 replacements. I could see an AV-8B+ in Marinfleiger markings carrying a couple Komorans and some self-defense IRAAMs.
-
Marinflieger could mirror the USN carrier air group for any given time, i.e. F-14, A-7, A-6, S-3 replacing F-4, A-4, A-5, S-2 etc.
-
Many thanks,folks :-[
Harrier GR.1 and AV-8B+ from Bundesluftwaffe and SeaHarrier FRS1 from Marineflieger are "under work" and come here soon...I hope ;)
-
Looking forward to seeing them, though I could also see an AV-8B+/Sea Harrier FA.2 mix (FA.2 radome and the extra hardpoints ahead of the outriggers, common to British second generation Harriers, on a basic AV-8B+ airframe - possibly with British RHAWS, too) as a Harrier FG.11 and export versions, including one, or more, in Marineflieger markings.
-
At first of german (MBB production) Harriers some simply colouring.
Next come "standard versions" (GR. 1/3/7) and AV-8B+ .....
A piece of cake like apetizer... ;)

Nice; gorgeous, too!! I wonder if we'd see a European consortium for NATO Harrier production (say MBB in Germany, Breguet in France, and Aermacchi in Italy) with various Harrier variants, or derivatives thereof, in service with each country?
-
Maybe.... Basic users will be those,who worked together on Harriers predecessor - Kestrel...
But I think that something like "unified light attack NATO plane" is not so good idea.
But.... more users is ore schemes,colours and markings for us - modellers.... or whiffers.... :-)

Well, John Fozard once said that Hawker-Siddeley was putting together a NATO consortium for the Harrier (Breguet in France is a known, as is Northrop in the USA) and I could see that happening (heck, makes more sense for NATO than the F-104 did). Still, it makes for considerable whiffing potential.

Excellent!! Though more likely a FGR.11, or export variant thereof (RAF model numbers for the Harrier skip 11, so I figure that was reserved for a radar-nosed second-generation Harrier. I could see this one with the extra pylons that the RAF variants use.

Both are variations on our semi-official sporting flag (copyright is owned by the Australian Olympic Committee).

Why not Australia? ???
Our flag is blue, white & red, & our national sporting colours are green & gold - it's a natural! ;)
It didn't come to my mind first because your flag is a little more complicated than just solid blocks of blue, white and red.

Thanks, Upnorth..... but if You want some modifications, this is no problem....
I was VERY criticized by my czech comrades for this "laughung leaf" on left wing.

Well, because it's a British plane &, so far, you've only done Commonwealth subjects (if you count the Irish one as being from Northern Ireland).

The Turkish air force did this for the 2007 Tiger Meet. Lots of people thought it was stupid, but I liked it for the humour:

And next Scorpion will be in Imperial Iranian Air Force ... US "Asia minor" scheme ;)

Klingon scheme ?

Post war plans for the RAAF were for the RAAF Reserve Squadrons to serve in the interceptor role so maybe one of them would could be an option, assuming the flying reserve was kept going. There are now ten squadrons but there were initially five, No. 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.

First, love the Scorpion.
And second, every time someone posts a Scorpion, I feel the inclination to put that pair of rocket pods onto another plane...... I'll need to consult American Secret Projects some time......

If nothing else, it would be a lot less cramped than an E-2 (only aircraft I know that is more crowded in the working area than an EP-3 - and, yes, I've been in both over my career).

It wouldn't necessarily need to have been captured. Remember that the nascent Israel had reasonable relations with the Soviet Union and could easily have acquired more such equipment.
-
So I think, that here is a "question of time". When goes operations Velveta (deliveries fom Czechoslovakia), Il-10s are not available there. And license built started in early ´50. In that time deliveries for Israel was stopped in favor of their arabian neighbours :-\
But .... if few things go a little bit another.... "Harvester in Kadesh"? Few minutes and I try to make this ;)

very nice, Finnish Harriers are a neat idea, the type was brochure submitted to the Suomen Ilmavoimat and representatives attended the demonstrations in Switzerland but alas fiscal and operational requirements led to no further interest (likewise a pitch by BAC. with the Jaguar)

I suspect we may have used the same line art as a basis.

Very nice, Logan.
This Your "crocodile" is more beautiful then mine ;)
-
Nonsense, they're just different styles. Mine's actually quite rough, since it's over 4 years old and the original profile template is more than 8 years old. Great work on yours! It has more of an earlier-type scheme, like something that might be seen in the 80s or 90s, possibly post-Soviet debt repayment like what was done with South Korea.
In case you were curious, here was the original story I wrote for it, based heavily on real contracts and events.
In December 2005, Elbit was awarded a contract to upgrade Bulgarias Mi-24V attack helicopters to comply with NATO standards. After work had been started on all 12 Hind helicopters, Russia informed the Bulgarian Ministry of Defense that Elbits work was uncertified and that all of the aircraft would be hereby unsupported by the manufacturer. After cancellation of the upgrade contract, Bulgaria demanded damages equivalent to the full value of the aircraft, arguing that they were unusable now and therefore only able to be scrapped. Israel, negotiating on Elbits behalf, agreed to take over the contract from Bulgaria in addition to paying Bulgaria a reasonable sum for the Mi-24 helicopters.
Having just stood down the 161 Cobras of the North attack helicopter squadron and transferring its AH-1 Cobras to 160 Squadron, Israel decided to reform the unit in order to operate its new Mi-24 Hinds. Israel was confident of its ability to operate the Mi-24 without official support from Russia. Since Israel didnt use Russian munitions, however, Elbit worked with Lockheed Martin to rearm the Mi-24s with the 20mm M197 and Hellfire missiles, in addition to their own Spike missiles. The upgraded Hinds proved to be popular with the IDF, which nicknamed the Mi-24 the Tniniim (Crocodile). The 161 Squadron was renamed The Crocodile Squadron to better fit its new mount, complete with a new logo to match the new name, but based on the logo of old. The open-mouthed black snake on a green background with its tail wrapped around a yellow lightning bolt was replaced by a crocodile in the same pose.
The Mi-24 was reliable, and Israel found little difficulty maintaining the new aircraft, especially after support for them was unofficially reinstated following Russian negotiations to acquire Israeli UAVs. Spare parts (including new engines) were merely sent through either Belorussian or Indian intermediaries to the satisfaction of both parties. The aircraft were painted in a scheme matching the AH-64D Saraf, but were also given a tan crocodile silhouette, much like the cobra silhouette on the AH-1s in service with the IDF. The yellow V recognition symbol was especially important for the new Mi-24s since its potential adversary Syria also operated the ever-popular Hind.
Cheers,
Logan
-
Amazing story, Logan.
Can I use this for my doodle?
Maybe I try to draw next Tniniim with crocodile silhouette on sides ...
-
Feel free! The idea for the silhouette came from the AH-1 Cobra, known as the "Tzefa" (Hebrew: צפע, for Viper) in Israeli service. The camo scheme itself was inspired by the AH-64 and the "Crocodile" nickname comes from the Mi-24 in Russian service. I don't remember where the graphic I used came from, but I can go looking if you wanted to use the same one.
Cheers,
Logan
-
I use colours from "Peten" (Apache) no.967.
But what I look now, this was only on this helo. Others have brown FS 30219 instead 30145 and FS 36463 on undersurfaces.
Крокодиль is original russian nickname... and crocodile motif? Maybe "Lacoste" logo? :D
-
That should work fine. The one I found was similar, but not the same, though I think that was the inspiration, if I remember correctly. Go for it, whatever looks good! That's the great part about what if profiles!
Cheers,

Fine work :) ... and almost happened in the real world:
... Yugoslavia was interested in possibly buying the S-92 and in 1947 a Yugoslav air force pilot was trained in Czechoslovakia on the type. The Yugoslavs were interested in having a small number of jets to back up their mixed bag (P-47 Thunderbolts, Yak-9s, and Ikarus S-49s) of propeller-driven fighters. After reconsideration, it was decided to stick with piston-engined designs only for a few more years with the goal of getting a new top-line American-made jet later (the F-84 Thunderjet eventually entered Yugoslav service in 1953). The Yugoslavs were also concerned that, as Czechoslovak interest in the S-92 waned, that Avia might find it economical to simply cancel any Yugoslav buy. Yugoslavia therefore never operated the S-92...

Twin tailed F-111 camouflaged in Czechoslovak Su-22 manner.... what of variant is better for You?
(http://modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1315722)
-
I like the original but, if I must choose, then it's the F-14A-tailed F-111T3 lay-out but I'd go a step further & use the Su-27 tail units.
-
The result is specified by the client.
Twin-tailed F-111 with Su-27 vertical tails. Camouflage like on czechoslovak´s Su-22 Fitters , marking black numerals, white outlined in two vriants of placing.
Now here is my result .... my doodles ;)

But .... this schem is from Polish AF MiG-15 UTI .
And I hop that more schemes come soon.... kit from Special Hobby is nice..... and one I have in my "Kitwarehouse" ...

The Magister may look awkward on the ground - but it can be very graceful in the air, doing smooth aerobatics or just cruising past you.

Especially the 2nd & 5th, from a practical viewpoint, but with blue-greys instead of the darkest & lightest "main-pattern" greys (not including the pale separator line).
Love the 'Cat, too, but my version of the RAN isn't going into the super-carrier business (not far short but not quite there). :))
The RAAF, however, may end up with them to go with their F-15's & F-16's. ;)
-
Good ol' gun fighter Crusader looking gooder (or is that badder?) than ever wearing these schemes. :smiley:

That's quite a temptation, but I'd build it as the originally-proposed F-14B with F401 engines; giving commonality with the F100-powered F-15s, and F-16s, in RAAF service.

What's the smallest carrier an F-14 could operate from?
-
OOPS ! That I don´t know ...
But I think that all is only question of catapult power and strength of retention ropes .... ;)
-
What's the smallest carrier an F-14 could operate from?
Don't know exactly but the Midway-class were unable to operate either the F-14 Tomcat or S-3 Viking (although they could operate F-4 Phantoms). The follow-on Forrestal-class did operate both F-14's & S-3's.

This my poor bad english...... :-\

Love your work, it is so inspirational, it just makes me want to come up with a believable way for it to have happened. i.e. an RAN FAA F-14 needs a carrier to fly from, a carrier Australia could afford to own and operate. GTX has gone down this path with an Australian CVV in his greater Australia scenario but my personal bias, coming from a ship building background, is an Australian designed, or at least heavily modified UK or French designed carrier to carry those very sexy looking tomcats.
-
So.... is pleasure for me, when someon liked my doodles .
I'm sorry that I can't good english. I have story about Czechoslovakian Navy ... mainly operated on Mediterraneran sea, but not only there. But my language ignorance limits me in translation ... Maybe sometime later ;)
First "spotty camouflaged" Ol´gunner for Old Wombat is ready... only national marking look a little bit troublesome for me. I mean cockade color ... but changes are possible anytime ... ;)

Re: Catapults; There is a table about half way down this link (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_catapult (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_catapult)) which should give some idea. Note that the Type C-7 used on the Forrestals was the first capable of launching F-14s.
Stat's on the F-14 (ex-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat)):

Harrier is cool! :smiley:
May pinch that scheme for the two 1/72 AV-8B's I have for Australian Army builds. :D
I also have 3 generations of Harrier (Sea Harrier FRS.1, Harrier GR.3 & AV-8B Harrier Plus) in 1/48 to build for the Royal Australian Marines. ;)
Like the VMF-217 3-tone Shrike! :smiley:
-
About Dingos .... ehm ... Harriers...
I plan GR.1 in later schemes (like L-39 what I presented here a few days ago ).... and after them maybe come later variants... FRS.1 and AV-8B+ ...
In my stash I have Harriers GR.1 and GR.3 from Airfix (1/72 scale) and Hasegawas AV-8B+ and FRS.1 (7/72 too).
For GR.1 i planned German Bundesluftwaffe colours.... but this newest "Aussie-camo" interested me more.... and now come question.... what I choose ? :( ??? ::)
-
Now you know how I feel! ;D ;D
-
Not exactly.... this feeling I have for several years ;D ;D ;D
-
Love that Dingo/Harrier and look forward to more. Perhaps the Sea Harrier in RAN markings, some very nice schemes were flown on their A-4's. I could see second-generation Harriers flying in both RAAF and RAN markings and I suspect they might use the extra hardpoints as fitted to RAF Harriers (much like the AV-8B+ derivative proposed to the UK).
-
How about a PNGDF Harrier? ;)
-
PNGDF Harrier is possible.... soon... I hope ;)
Now two variants of "Oz-Harrier" ... last "first generation" ... Maybe later I made "higher versions" .... ???
(http://modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1380760)
(http://modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1380759)

Question to consider, if these were upgraded, would they be made equivalent ot Harrier GR.3s, AV-8Cs, or a mix thereof? I could see a Harrier Gr.3 with the straked gunpods and forward air dam of the AV-8C.
-
What I know, Dingo Mk.3 were equivalet of RAF Harrier Mk.3. And bore the same camouflage scheme like Mk.1.
Later RAAF modernised his fleet with US made AV-8B / -8B PLUS like Dingo Mk.5 / 5A ...
But question is, if my informations are right or wrong .... ??? ??? ??? :D
And now one custom work ... or "re-work" ? Czechoslovak Air Force Mirage III in delivery scheme .... Czechoslovak colours in original French pattern ;)

Have You some idea about this RM camo? Two or three colours on top?

Not really but probably a grey, a blue/grey-blue & a green/olive/khaki, maybe with the grey wrapping around from the underside? ???
-
Oukydouky, Sir....
Royal Marines Invader I try in "greys & greens"....
Now I only look... You are mistaken...
Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968 .... February 25. 1948 was communist "Coup de état" in Czechoslovakia.

My thinking was A-6s used by the RAAF as interim platforms instead of the F-4Es pending arrival of F-111Cs.
-
Can A-6's be adapted to the anti-shipping role? ???
You are kidding aren't you?

So.... first proposals for "Royal Australian Marines Air Arm" (did I understand that correctly?) are here.
Help me please: No.1 is first choice. Undersides are in lightest grey shade. Others are variations of first.

Oukydouky, Sir ....
First come Oz-Intruder , later Oz-Bucc ... and sometime between both or after come Oz-Strike Eagle. For Eagle I choose scheme simillar to "K-1" from F-111.

When you get the chance, could we see this one fully developed? I have several 1/72 and 1/48 Buccaneer kits and could set aside a couple for Australian usage, much as I have one in each scale set aside for building as Buccaneer S.52's in Marinefleiger markings.

Oukydouky, Sir ... ;)

Beautiful Oz Buccs; I'm tempted to do one in 1/72 and another in 1/48.

Will be pleasure for me ...
I have two 1/72 Buccs , but oooolder... I think Novo (ex-Frog) ... poor, but this will be a big chellenge ;D

Sneaking a peek at work! :o
When I get home they're all being saved to my profiles folder! :smiley: :-*

The Frog/Novo/et al. Buccaneer is an old but reasonably decent kit. I have it, various Airfix kits, and the Matchbox/Revell/AMT boxings in my stash.

I think, that "old kits" have his own "magic". They are not-so-perfect like newest, but ..... ;)

The only possible response to these latest works is a low appreciative whistle; they are superb and quite tempting. I think I even have sufficient stash to do them. I may give the RAMAA Harriers the extra underwing hardpoints the British second-generation Harriers have as that would see appropriate (similar aircraft would be Harrier FG.11 aircraft in RAF/FAA service).

Very nice!! There goes at least one more, if not two, Buccaneer kits in my stash.

Thinking on it the Bucc would have made a lot of sense for NZ, more so than a fighter or light attack aircraft. Due to the geographic location and the sort of threats they could conceivably faced, a maritime strike/reconnaissance platform would have been a good fit.

Love the Bucc's in RNZAF colours and yes Volk the Bucc almost made the cut for the RNZAF Canberra replacement instead of the A4 Skyhawk, it came down to cost and I don't think was in RAF service at the time when the decision by the NZG to go with the A4? I think from memory a number of other counties around the same time didn't chose the Bucc because it wasn't in RAF service apart from the SAAF.
A wee bit off tropic,
The BAE Hawk almost entered service RNZAF only for the NZG Finance Minister and her Klingons at the Treasury Dept to kick it onto touch because of cost. From what my uncle said as he was on the project team at the time the Hawk/BAE offer was far better than the Italians and from his impression at the time (even now) that the Italians under bided for Bunty replacement with all the dramas that RNZAF had with the M339C during its service with the RNZAF.
-
Maybe it would have been a better choice Aero L-39ZA Albatros ;)
-
Didn't the Aussies have the Hawk. If so it would have been a good choice for the RNZAF. But for 'The Powers That Be' things would go a lot smoother in this world.

The RAAF had their first Hawks delivered in 2001 whereas the first RNZAF MB339s were delivered almost 10yrs earlier in April 1991. That said, a Hawk (probably Hawk 60 or Hawk 100 variant) in this scheme (below) would look cool:

Love to see what you could do to a V-22.

We-ell, since you asked, V; ;)
I have a 1/35 AH-1W & UH-1N in the stash onto which I could transfer schemes plotted onto AH-1G & UH-1D plans.
I also have a 1/35 Mi-24D but I intend to do that in the OoB Czech Tiger Meet scheme. :))
Then there's a 1/35 AH/MH-6J in there, too.
I have a 1/72(?) AH-64 slated to be an Australian Army Air Service beast, as well.
Love to see what you could do to a V-22.
Got a 1/48 V-22, too. ;D
:icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza: :icon_alabanza:

As long as it's a fairly late Italieri 1/48 MV-22B kit, it should be accurate (they have updated their tooling from the original EMD configuration, unlike everything but the Hasegawa kits in 1/72 - big tip off is whether they have that large "elephant ear" scoop for the oil cooler on the aft upper outboard portion of each engine nacelle).
-
Pretty sure it's this boxing, bought last year;
(https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/5/2/9/175529-11575-pristine.jpg)
-
If the parts inside match what's on the cover, it's accurate. You can clearly see the "elephant ear" scoop on the nearer nacelle in the picture.
-
I'll check it out sometime later - it's in the shed with the rest of my stash but boxed up. :smiley:
-
Just so you know, V, I've decided on the existing Australian Army Aviation Corps as the Aust. Army's air asset branch. :thumbsup:
-
Maybe it would have been a better choice Aero L-39ZA Albatros ;)
I can't remember if the Albatross was a part of selection process? Must ask my uncle time as he was part of the Bunty replacement program. I know he once said the Russians post cold war were trying to sell the MIG 29 and the SU-29/ 30 series jets to us among other things during the 90's so I won't be surprise if the L39 was in the mix. But he always said the problem with East Bloc aircraft was the after sale service and the gap between services/ flying hrs wasn't flash either, but in saying that the Macchi wasn't much cop as well.

I will wait, the Gripen is still in its box as I'm working on a Taiwanese F-5E for the moment ;)
No idea to suggest for country as I will work on a basis of a fictional universe (based on Strangereal from video game "Ace Combat" series) for all my coming what-if.
For "aggressors" schemes based on F-16, maybe you can look on the side of the NSAWC F-16N :

Nice!!! I could see it operating in Southeast Asia amidst countries concerned about their large and aggressive northern neighbor.
-
BTW, is that a line drawing of the EMD variant of the Osprey? I notice some differences with what I know to be the production Osprey (particularly in that it lacks the "elephant ear" inlets for the oil coolers as I mentioned up thread. That and some of the miscellaneous small inlets don't appear to be the production configuration either.

I don't know which version it exactly is.
I found a drawing on the internet and this I use.
Honestly: absolutely the exact version mostly I don't care.

Another variation of previous doodle. Based on interpretation, that pre-war Avia B.35 ( inspiration for my CsAF D-520) was photographed on orthochromatic photomaterial and thus colours of individual fields are not true interpreted ... Ochre is changed with green.... result is here .... ;)

Neat schemes. Neat little plane but I prefer the Avia B.35, although I'd swap-out the engine for a licence built RR Merlin & retractable undercarriage. ;)

Agree on the neat schemes. You really want to re-engine the B.135 which had retractable undercarriage.

Horton HO-229 model. I built the Revell 72nd scale kit and replaced the kit nose gear with one from the matchbox RN Phantom. The wheel though came from the 32nd scale tail wheel of the Hasagawa Me 163( this allowed me to retain the angle of incidence the aircraft maintained on the ground). I have heard though that the Me 262 nose gear may have been selected for the production models. I don't know how accurate my source is but it does sound reasonable given the times this aircraft was developed in.

That is quite a good look for the Tempest, it makes me want to go out and buy a Heller/Smer Tempest kit and try it out.

I really like the (Oops!) first Hawai'ian scheme! :smiley: 8)
-
Good ghod, those are tempting!! Be fun to do, too.
-
Oh I like those star-and-meatball Phantoms very much yes I do!
Brian da Basher
-
New custom work..... ;)

-
Looks a natural in those Fascist Italian markings!
Would be even more Italian with a third engine up front.
Very well done!
Brian da Basher
-
Or with Fiat AR-12 radial engines.... ;D
-
I wonder if you could get a pair of Shvetsov M-82 radials onto a Whirlwind and replace the Hispano 20mm guns with ShVAK cannons.
A nice lend/lease hotrod I'd think.
-
Allmost double engines output..... this will be really "hot-rod" .... ;D ;D ;D
-
Allmost double engines output..... this will be really "hot-rod" .... ;D ;D ;D
Hmmm, it would be rather overkill.... ;D
A pair of Klimov M-100s or M-103s would be a more realistic power boost that wouldn't twist the plane into a pretzel.
-
Looks a natural in those Fascist Italian markings
Don't they just. :smiley:
-
I like the Hawaian Phantoms but would think a Royal Hawaian Air Force might have a Roundel based on something akin to the old Coat of arms:
(http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e68/GTwiner/image.jpg1_zpsspotob65.jpg)
-
I believe I can translate the motto on the coat of arms.
It says: Pineapple on Pizza is damn good!
-
;D
-
;D ;D ;D
About Hawaiian marking: customer choose "old US" marking.... I´m only "poor doodler" :D
-
Recolored older work....

I was bored and so I just kind of painted... ???

And one doodle for new Eduards MA kit .... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1455074)
-
Clueless if Avia schemes are anywhere near RW. But it don't mater cuz are looking right on. :smiley:
Tempest that scheme extra well. :smiley:
-
Boredom is the Mother of Creativity, she's done well through you, V! :smiley:
-
;D ;D ;D
-
For finsrin: matter of RW Avia 135 is only 12 planes built for Bulgarian Kingdom... :icon_crap:
-
Next possibility for Av.135 ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1461993)
-
Those export Av.135's look spot on to me. I could them being so exported if matters had gone differently or more slowly.
-
I think too .... but a year or two were missing in the development of this beauty.
I read somewhere, that "Generalflugzeugmeister" Udet after visting Avia say, that Av.135 (CzAF marking B.135) is better than Bf-109E ....
-
Next Avia .... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1462251)
-
:smiley:
-
For "equal opportunity", how about a Turkish one?
-
Yes.... Turkish is possible.... I try it ... ;)
Now Lithuanian Av.135 ...
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1462447)
-
I'm really enjoying your Avia 135 permutations.
I've got a kit of just the 35 (I think) in the pile, you know, the most lovely variant, the one with spats. :-*
I've also got its biplane brother and plan to biplane the monoplane and monoplane the biplane, of course...
Brian da Basher
-
Avias B.35 I have in mind too ....
Only I must drawings prepare to be ready for colouring ;)
-
That Latvian one looks so right. Any chance of seeing Lithuania and Estonia going for a common fighter for their corner of the world? I could see that helping the logistics situation for all of them.
-
Sure .... both come.... soon, I hope ;-)
-
I can also imagine that Latvian Av.135 re-engined with the planned local MI-02 36-cyl engine.
-
Austrian Av.135 ;)

Many thanks..... ;)
The same I did some time ago with Avia B.534 .... :D

Just for fun.... ;)

-
Maybe "just for fun" but it looks good, V! 8)
-
Just for fun.... ;)
And an excellent choice of subjects! :smiley:
-
I thought I read the Greeks were trying to buy Italian airplanes before they got invaded, so this seems very plausible.
That camo/marking scheme is great and looks even better the way you rendered it Panther.
Brian da Basher
-
Thanks, mates ... :-[
I have one more solution ( or choice) for Hellas.... planes from Poland.
What I know, they have some PZL P-24s (in real world).
Then P-23 Karaś and P-37 Loś are logical solution ... I try to draw they... ;)
-
:smiley:
-
Perhaps delayed WW II would see the Greeks flying Polish fighters that were on the drawing board in 1939? Ones such as, IIRC, the P.50.
-
Maybe Polish, maybe Czechoslovak Avias Av.135 .... maybe some Italians.... Who know .... ;)
-
Doodling just for fun..... and for my 1/48 Eduard´s kit ... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1474972)

:smiley:
-
That Czech S.E. 5 is a real looker!
Give it standard rudder stripes and it could be a U.S. bird. I keep seeing it with accompanying red USMC badges on the fuselage.
Brian da Basher
-
So..... early Czechoslvak cockade (1919 - 1921) was allmost the same, like US .... only blue was a littler lighter ;)
-
Custom work.....
..... more South American planes come..... I hope soon ... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1475927)
-
Nice
-
The Spit looks so good in those markings it's no a what-if but a "wish it was".
Most excellent!
Brian da Basher
-
Opposition would be an Argentinian Bf109K or one of the Italian "5 Series" fighters?
-
Thanks, mates...
So..... like say customer to me (on "this another forum") quote:
Good evening sir. I have been thinking about using some of my later WW2 models for a conflict in......South America.....1945 onwards....my idea was Barbarossa never happened.....Russia maintain an uneasy peace with Germany. Stalemate in Europe n Pacific. War breaks out between Argentina backed by Axis/Russia and Chile/Brazil backed by Allies. I have some ideas re camo schemes...but would love to see if you have any...? Late mark spits like Spit Mk22 an Tempest, mosquito, sea fury n Meteors n vampires with P80, F4U P51 n P47 and maybe some others.....versus late mark FW190D9 and Ta152C...Flitzers, Do335, some of the other revell fancy luft46 stuff. Late war Japanese fighters Ki100 and maybe the odd Italian MC205 VELTRO...with maybe some La7 and late Russian a/c....I am in no rush. Bombers I'd thought about are Fw200 maritime and Ju290 as I have them. Maybe late war Ju88/188, Ta154 heavy fighter.....many thanks...Hank
I've even got a list of models that he can use and on which I can draw camouflage
So.... I think, that if someone need other appropriate aircraft, I can made camoscheme for this too .... ;)
Argentinian Ho-229 I did some time earlier :D
-
Two another Chilean Spitfires....

-
Something from opposite side ....
Argentinian Do-335A .... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1476095)
-
Next Argentinian Pfeil / Flecha .....
Information about the exact coloring of the Do-335 in argentine service, are ambiguous.Both options are possible, the archives of the Fuerza Aérea Argentina has not yet issued their secrets....
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1476261)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1476260)
-
Nice. Maybe also a Swiss one?
-
Maybe ..... maybe Night fighter ..... ;)
-
I would use some of their Bf-109s as inspiration for schemes... ;)
-
Most interesting to see Do-335 wearing these schemes. :smiley:

Argentinian Flitzer proposals..... but which one ?

(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1476744)
-
The second and third versions look like they would do over most of Argentina. I think the first scheme, though, would be best for the south, around Tierra del Fuego, where it's mostly rock and water.
-
Chilean Meteors Mk.III .... ;)
And bonus Czechoslovak Meteor.... :smiley:

Love those Brazilian aircraft. Wonder if they would acquire an aircraft carrier to go with those Corsairs? Lots of nautical whif possibilities there.

Brazilian Aircraft carrier? Maybe..... I´m only doodler..... "Southamerican war 1946" is not my idea .... :(

Many thanks..... but... its nothing.... I´m only "poor mad doodler"....
Elementary, dear Watson.... ehm.... Brian
Use "standard scheme", modify colours and change marking and dating.... thats all.... simply,quickly...."jokingly"... ;) ;D ;D ;D

I have previously mused about the possible implications of the German submarine U-234 heading to Argentina instead of surrendering to USA in 1945 (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=5091.msg83360#msg83360). This might offer some further inspiration for you on the Argentine front.
-
One different draw .... custom work from Facebook "What if group"
Bundesluftwaffe scheme is under work.... 2 at minimum ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1479173)
-
Oh, yeah!! That blend of X-29 and F-20 works very, very well. I'm looking forward to the other schemes.
-
Reminds me of something from the novel I read years ago. It was set in a post nuclear war USA and there was a mention of a Japanese FSW fighter by the author. Apparently the Japanese were largely unaffected by the war and had moved in.
-
That looks awesome! Im going to order another X-29 kit!

A seven years ago i made "Desert Tiger" .... without marking

That PZL "Karas" looks natural in those colors, Panther!
I'll keep this scheme in mind when I build mine someday, although it may not look much like a "Karas" when I get thru with it...
Great stuff and your artwork is always easy on the eyes!
Brian da Basher

although it may not look much like a "Karas" when I get thru with it...
You will remove the spats? ;)

A case of "reverse espionage" with the aircraft being built by Commonwealth Aircraft? It does look good in those colors. Be interesting to see a RAAF F-15E in those markings.

Ayaye, Sir ...
F-15E RAAF retro scheme ;)
Some time ago I made RAAF F-15E in Aussie F-111 camo style .... :smiley:

Love the Retro RAAF F-15E. Could have happened if the RAAF acquired F-15Es instead of F/A-18Fs (which was an option) and then did a retro scheme to celebrate 100th anniversary of RAAF.

Lzard/Euro 1 in a non-wrap-around version.... VERY cool! 8)

Thanks, Geist.... its new for me...
So.... the contract only specifies that the state has that plane. Camouflages are creations solely of my own imagination.
And my idea for camouflages is to be little bit diffrent then in real.... Why? Because what if ;D .... and because they are not "peace-time" but "war-time" schemes ...
Yep..... I´m only poor doodler.... and one and only, what I make are "schemes for building plastic kits".... ??? ;)
-
That's gotta be one of the hottest A-26s I've ever seen!
I have no idea if Brazil ever flew Invaders but that scheme sure looks a natural for it!
Brian da Basher

I know you do "what if camouflage" and they look really interesting.
As I wrote, I added just for reference (curiosity). ;)

To Old Wombat: OOOOOUCH ..... hmm.... interesting.... and I think, that "brazilian" is some like "man from Brazil" or "thing from Brazil" ;D ;D ;D

You're correct. But as highlighted above, can also be a pubic hair removal style :D ;)

So would a "Brazilian" paint scheme on an aircraft consist of a Bare Metal Finish lower fuselage but painted elsewhere, somewhat similar to this:

Nice.
Suggestions:
- Arado Ar96 in RAF scheme
- Ar96 crop duster
-
Very nice, not necessarily along my interests, but very nice. Would Argentina have acquired aircraft from other Axis nations, say Italy before it fell to the Allies? I could see various Italian fighters and bombers in Argentine markings.
-
GTX Admin: postwar RAF Ar-96 is on "drawing board".... crop duster? Hmm.... maybe ;)
elmayerle: yes, they come.....

Nice!! I could see that as an effort to help West Germany's economic recovery after the cold war starts and a stronger western Europe is needed.
-
Or perhaps a scenario where WWII does not occur and the RAF simply decides to buy these.
-
You know, your Ar96's got me thinking. Not a real stretch. Weren't there any German
aircraft that the Allies thought were better than US/UK types? All of the plans and tools
were sitting right there in Germany after VE day... BTW, these look really great - especially
the red/white scheme.
-
It's eerie how good a plane can look in "enemy uniform".
Great stuff!

Another aircraft from Argentina ..... ;)

I really like this one! Not only is an Argentine Folgore a great idea but that camo is outstanding!
Brian da Basher

Thanks.... this is not my idea..... but customer say to me, what planes (what he had in the stash) he want in what colours....
Our customer is our Master..... say old czech proverb :D :D :D
-
That proverb is much like the "Golden Rule" many quote, "He who has the gold makes the rules.".
That's a beautiful camouflage job on that Macchi and I admit I have enough of them in the stash to do that one.

Wow, that is a dramatic scheme! Good stuff :smiley:

I could be mistaken (they say the memory is the first thing to go - who are you people again?) but I seem to recall a certain Tomcat doing an SR-71 in a JASDF scheme a while back. There's just something about that bird that looks so right in those colors.
Great stuff and I especially liked the subdued shades on that USAF SEAC one.

the SAC SIOP Scheme is one of those crown jewels of whif schemes right up there with Swedish splinter and the Israeli 3 tone in terms of putting anything in it, and it just looks great. I've even used it with red stars and it looks the part. heres another example:

Beautiful!! That definitely does inspire one to whif the Airfix kit, or a AV-8B+ kit as a Harrier FG.11 in those markings. Anyone know where I can get RNZAF roundels like that?

Some great schemes lately, I quite like the Arado in RAF training colours and the Harrier in contemporary Czech markings.
Will we see any on these schemes in 3D form on the "What If" table at Modelbrno this month?

Oh, yes!! I can, though, see they being fitted with the AV-8B's gun pods since none of the RAF's second-generation Harriers carry guns and I can't see Marines of any nation going in without guns.

Already saved into my Profiles to Build folder! :smiley: :-*

Its pleasure for me, Old Wombat.... :-*
To Elmayerle.... I thought, that I drew RAMAA AV-8B+ some time back .... but unfortunately not :-X
Only RAAF´s Harriers GR.1 (aka Dingo Mk.1 ) .... so.... but the option is still open .... if You want. The same with GR.3 ....and FRS.1 for RAN ;)

Ah, yes, very nice ones but without the under-fuselage gun pods. I'm very tempted to do your Harrier GR.9 schemes but swap in the AV-8B's gun pods under the fuselage, I really can't see any Marines going in without guns. Another alternative would be to use GR/1/GR.3 gun pods with strakes, much as the AV-8C did.

Another alternative would be to use GR/1/GR.3 gun pods with strakes, much as the AV-8C did.
Instead of one GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling gun as on the USMC AV-8Bs, the RAF GR.5 was to be fitted with twin new-design 25-millimeter Aden revolver cannon, each with a rate of fire of up to 1,850 rounds per minute and a muzzle velocity of over 1,000 meters per second. However, the ADEN 25 would prove particularly troublesome and was finally cancelled in 1999. As a result, RAF Harrier GR.7 and GR.9 aircraft did not carry cannon. One could easily see a quick solution being adopted by acquiring the same GAU-12/U as used on the AV-8B and then carried forward to the later versions. A very simple, though plausible whiff.

After some consideration, the thought occurs that reworking Harrier GR.1/GR.3 cannon pods along the lines of what was done for the AV-8C might also be effective if one wanted to go the least expensive route.
-
Your Letov is rendered magnificently and you caught the look and feel of that famous camouflage quite nicely.

A Pakistani F-105 in either this scheme:
(http://www.samaa.tv/wp-content/uploads/digital_news/2015-04-16/paf-jet-crashes-near-hub-1429172485-9968.jpg)

I keep thinking that a straight trailing edge would allow wingtip launch rails for an additional pair of short range AAMs.

My own initiative .... ;)

Beautiful!! The markings fit very well.
While you are on a "Luftwaffe Thunderchief" roll, any chance of seeing one in markings of MFG1 or MFG2? I cn just imagine one with a pair of Komoran missiles under wing; or four of them if the range was short enough.

Well, first up, V: You can't go wrong with a Thud. ;)
Secondly: Brilliant job on both of them! 8) :smiley:

Beautiful, both of them. If you have a profile for a F-105F, I'd love to see it this way as such was proposed to the RAF as a lead-in trainer for the TSR.2.
-
:smiley:
-
Loving these Thuds :-*
-
The F105 looks so right to me in RAF colours like sort of some kind of Hawker offering, a super Hunter type thing.
-
Custom work.... now only "basic scheme" .... based on the US "SEAC" scheme....
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1534074)
-
Neat! 8)
-
If you have not done one, how about a F-105D in a wrap-around version of Asia Minor camouflage?
-
At first: excuse me, please, for my long silence..... too much busy :(
About Thud..... now I work on Asia minor scheme.... "classic".... this is almost ready.... so.... now I mustgo to "wraparound" ;)
But who is "owner" of this "wraparound Asia-minor Thud"? Saudi arabian AF? Jordanian AF? Becaus IDF/AF in Asia minor is not so much real.... I think.... ;)
-
Saudi Air Force or USAF operating out of a retained Wheelus AFB (WS tailcode) would be my first ideas for users. An Iran under the Shah would also be a possibility.
-
Turkey?
Greece? IIRC, Greece flew F-5 Tigers in the Asia Minor scheme.
Spain?
-
Some minor troubles with Thud.....
Here a half-dozen of Czechoslovak Meteors.... ;)

Hey, V, long time no see, mate! Good to have you back around! :D
Meteors are great! :smiley: 8)
(Except, maybe, the second one, that doesn't grab me quite as much as the others. ;))
-
Thanks, but if You think this coded EP-02 ..... In simplicity is beauty.... how say we here.... I think, that this is the best :D
Or maybe the last (KR-7)..... I have only one little trouble.... drawings are for Mk.3. but I have kit of Mk.4 (Revell , ex-MPM). ;)

Damn, those are nice. Flying from Wheelus, they would likely have the tailcode "WS" which fits well with a real world combat squadron.
-
Another "Thunderthing" .... ;D
Now from Minnesota ANG ..... "Desert Thud" from Wheelus AFB, "Grey plagued" in Hill scheme.... and maybe two Pakistan AF come soon.... I hope ;)

Oh, yess!! Wrap-around "Euro 1" does like quite striking on a F-105.

OK.... USAF plane from Libyan desert is under work..... ETO Lizzard (Europ 1 ) is real one.... previous picture is only "two-coloured-ANG" scheme ;)
Now one USAF in "Hill scheme" (I´m sorry.... marking is not stricktly under the terms of USAF T.O.1-1-4.... but reworking is possible.... if someone will it need), and two Pakistan AF planes.... :D

I can use your colour refs when I get around to doing the Thud...so like in 2026 at my current rate :)
-
Beautiful!! Very much enjoyed. The Pakistani F-105s are a delight to the eyes, very tempting subjects for models.
-
Maybe some RAAF and RNZAF ones please?
-
So..... what I think.... RAAF and RNZAF Thuds are simple to build ( colouring) .... RAAF bore SEA camouflage scheme only with altered colours (FS 34159 instead of FS 34102 its like USAF SAC scheme) ... and RNZAF scheme Europe1 (Lizzard) wraparound .... ;)
-
That works. Mind you, a RAAF one in similar scheme to that worn by the EE Canberras would look good too:
(http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/168/pics/139_1_b1.jpg)
Indian ones might also look good.

Very nice, V, but I especially like the Kiwis! 8) 8)

The Spanish P-39s are a definite "might have been" - see here: https://www.oocities.org/tavaresl.geo/airacobra.htm (https://www.oocities.org/tavaresl.geo/airacobra.htm)
Imagine if enough had landed in Spain so as to allow for operational use. Perhaps even see the engines replaced with something such as the DB601 or even 1,600 hp HS 89-12Z? Maybe also add German derived/sourced armament?

Interesting ... I'd no idea that any Airacobras had ended up in Spanish territory!

Or maybe the three 'samples' are just enough to pique Spanish interest. Maybe Václav's grey Airacobra is ex-USAAF stock, supplied to Franco once 'all was forgiven' postwar?
-
So my interest about spanish Airacobra started some week ago.... when in one czech publication I read, that three Airacobras forced landed at spanish territory. Only one was airworthy.... and stay airworthy to 1950 ( maybe only 1949 - I must look to this publication).
Then simply come idea: What if? :smiley:
Both doodles are of the same plane.... only in older and later scheme...
But..... who know... ;D

Hmm!? What If... The Finns had turned more to the Western Allies, & the Western Allies had been more willing to support them, against the Soviets? ???
I like it! :D
The Spitfire looks great, too! 8)

Nice one.
Natural partner to the Hurricane and Blenheim that did get over there
-
Hmm!? What If... The Finns had turned more to the Western Allies, & the Western Allies had been more willing to support them, against the Soviets? ???
So may be if the Winter War/First Soviet-Finnish War kept going longer and bigger and either WWII not happen or somehow this keeps going as a side show?
-
Hmm!? What If... The Finns had turned more to the Western Allies, & the Western Allies had been more willing to support them, against the Soviets? ???
Before Winter War of 1939 - 1940, Finland was turnng every stone to get some fighters. Supply was not meeting demand. Some Hurricanes were obtained during the war, though, but they arrived too late for that action.

Bonus! :smiley:
Wonder if we'll see an Eduard kit with your scheme offered in the future? ??? ;)

So.... this "Bumblebee" Bumblebee is not possible... I think....
More possibility I give to the "FirefighterBumblebee".... maybe... in future....
Who know? ;)
But: one of my doodles now IS in Eduard´s box....... ;D

But this is not my first doodle in the kit ..... first was What if schemes for FL-1 Airabonita from RSmodels ( 3 of 4, what I doodled) ;)
-
Hmm!? Regarding the Bunny Fighter; it's a pity they used the USN rank of Ensign, when the RNZN rank would be Midshipman & the RNZAF equivalent would be Pilot Officer. ???
BUT yours is the Police Tempest (same pilot name as the Bunny Fighter, I see) & that's something to be very happy about! 8)

What is better and/or looks good ? A or B ?
-
It's just a small difference but I think I prefer "A". 8)
The first F-16 is my favourite, largely because I could see in being used on Australian aircraft, but they're all good. ;)

Is a tie for me...

I like the second & third F-16s...but they need a GPU-5/A pod (https://www.gd-ots.com/armaments/aircraft-guns-gun-systems/gpu5a/)

Hello there!
Been following your amazing work for quite a time now. I did three of your schemes as modded skins for Ace Combat X, a PSP game brought back to life thanks to emulation. The markings are from Belka, one of the game's alternate universe nations.

I uploaded them on the game's Mod DB page and credited you in the description: https://www.moddb.com/games/ace-combat-x-skies-of-deception/addons (https://www.moddb.com/games/ace-combat-x-skies-of-deception/addons)

After loooong time something new...
Letov -16, the czechoslovak plane from 1927.
Here in colours, that was used to 1926 in scheme inspired by its predecessor Letov -6.
Kit is in my stash, maybe once time..... ;)
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1843723)
-
Hey, Václav! It's been too long, Brother! :D
I have an -16* in the stash, too! :smiley:
Nice scheme! I may have to (mis)appropriate it! ;) 8)
[*: Along with boxes of other Czech aircraft & armour kits.]
-
Dear "brother in arms", use, what You wan and like You want... ;)
It´s pleasure for me and You´r welcome .... :D
-
Thanks, V! :smiley:
-
So..... and what about S-16 in Australian marking?
This plane has range about 1500 miles ( 2500 km ) or 5 hrs 30 min.....
It will be good for Australian conditions.... or not? ;)
P.S. I´m sorry..... I wrote "bother in arms".... but I mean BROTHER in arms.... this is my poor dumb head.... :icon_sueno:
;) :D ;D
-
Not the -16, I have a couple of Avia B-534s for Australia. ;)
1500 miles/2500km would have been an excellent range for Australian conditions at the time but I only have one -16, & my father was born in Bratislava in 1927, so it's going to be Czech. :smiley:
I understood what you meant. :smiley:
You're writing in your second/third/fourth/maybe fifth(?) language, I'm writing in my first & only language. :icon_alabanza:
-
Like say one czech proverb: "As much talk as you know, so many times you're human...." ( online translation ).
So..... in seven languages (except czech) I can say: I don't speak this language... ;D ;D ;D
But I think, that once time be a human is sufficient ... ;)
If Your father was a Bratislava-born, then for Your Letov S-16 is only choise marking from Air regiment 3 ;-)
And for B-534 in RAAF service is RAF scheme useable...
All my B-534 What if schemes are here....

Another fooling game.
Inspiration came from sci-fi books of czech Autor Jan Kotouč.
Some tima ago I give here ( I hope that yes... ??? ) pics of fighters Skoda L-14 Lasička/Weasel - F4F Wildcat.
Now come his predecessor - Avia Bkp.534 I.
B is manufacturer - Avia company, k is for "kanónový"/ cannon armed , p is for "palubní"/flight deck.
All is based from real world - german rework of czechoslovak fighter Avia Bk.534 for flight deck trials.
Apropo: just with doodling I started work on 1:72 kit from Eduard company.... :D
(https://www.modelforum.cz/download/file.php?id=1845868)

I've just saved that to my Aircraft Profiles folder as inspiration for a pre-WW2 RAN aircraft. 8) :smiley:
(I have at least 3, maybe more, 534's in the stash - both 1/48 & 1/72)
-
Good to know, dear friend ;)
And now second version of "Bkp.534"..... :smiley:
For built this version will be need some little surgery, but..... based on Eduard´s 1:72 kits is this not so difficult choice ;)

Ah.... I´m sorry..... I forgot a english transcription of colours :o

Cool, so it's grey! :smiley:
It was just looking very shiny in the pictures, so I wasn't 100% sure. :-\

As is well known, unlike Regio Aeronautico, the RAF gentlemen were quite interested in the Re.2000.

Plus a little extra. And now I can think of Ejercito del Aire and Aeronáutica Militar....

Well, I have read that there was a connection between the Re-2000 and the Seversky P-35, in that Seversky sold data, and possibly drawings, for the P-35 to Reggiane . . .
cheers,

Umm... thats a new information for me.
Many thanks... ;)

Well, I have read that there was a connection between the Re-2000 and the Seversky P-35, in that Seversky sold data, and possibly drawings, for the P-35 to Reggiane . . .
I don't believe there was any formal connection and certainly not sharing of data/drawings. Rather, I believe it was simply inspired by. The fact that the designer, Roberto Longhi, had spent time working in the USA might have added to this.

... Rather, I believe it was simply inspired by. The fact that the designer, Roberto Longhi, had spent time working in the USA might have added to this.
Roberto Longhi always denied a direct connection with Seversky. However Longhi admitted that, sometime during their 1937-38 US visit, he and Antonio Alessio (Reggiane's DDG or vicedirettore generale) visited Farmingdale to tour the Seversky Aircraft plant. Longhi returned to Italy with an invitation from Alessio to design an new all-metal fighter for Reggiane.
Within 2 months of arriving back in Italy, Longhi had sketched out the basic Re.2000. So, Longhi was either a very fast worker or Alexander de Seversky had been up to his usual tricks? You choose ;)
-
Here's a linky to what I read. For what it's worth, it's a post on Britmodeller . . .
"There is definitely a link between these two aircraft.... Reggiane, as part of the Caproni group, investigated purchasing the production license for either the P-35 or the P-36- Seversky was very keen on closing a deal and he worked very hard to push his aircraft. In the end Reggiane didn't buy any license and rumours were that someone sold the project or at least part of the technology to Reggiane. However Reggiane employees after the war mentioned payments sent to Republic (that in the meantime had acquired Seversky) so it is very likely that no license was given for political reason but all the information needed to build the aircraft was sold from Seversky, although somehow kept hidden for the same political reasons."
