Post by: Logan Hartke on January 20, 2013, 01:34:32 AM: I'd always thought that it looked very much like USN '60s aircraft, but never taken that to its logical conclusion. Well done! Welcome to BtS!

Cheers,

Logan

It looks like a direct development of the Grumman F-11 Tiger

Oh yeah! :) Come on, Italeri. An AMX in 1/72! How hard can it be?

As the AMX was intended to be an A-4-like replacement, it wouldn't take much imagination to see it carrier borne. Pity there are no cheap 1/72 AMXs available, just expensive resin ones.

Well, the AMX-T was a contender back in the mid 1990's, alongside these:

Aermacchi MB.339FD
Aero Vodochody L-59F
British Aerospace Hawk 100 - became the Hawk Mk.127 in service
Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet ATS
McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk

The video does not display for me here on the forums. Firefox on Windows 10.
I can find the link by clicking the Quote button ... and find a video about "The A-11 Ghibli: Italy's Ultimate Fighter Bomber"
