Welcome to the group Andrea. Very nice work you've done on the AMX.  :)  Really looks nice in USN markings.

Very, very nice!!!  That would make for a nice little carrier striker.  Hmmmm....Brazilian or Argentine markings?  ;)

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,

That's fantastic!

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?

Welcome aboard, that's a beautiful piece of work.  I could see a somewhat better-off Brazil going with this for new aircraft rather than buying surplus A-4KUs.

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

All hail the God of Frustration!!!

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"
