Oh, I like that. Instead of going for high-speed as in the XF-84H, they go for lifting capability with the straight-winged F-84 as a start and mix in a touch of A2D. Now, if Allison could only get the engines right without having to go through a complete redesign or got the redesign done faster. These would be perfect with T54 engines (T54 is to the T56 as the XT40 was to the XT38 - i.e. two of the other's gas generators driving one gearbox).

Nice, any chance of a VVS Corsair?

After giving your Devastator II some more thoughts, I am now leaning toward giving the Devastator II a Kahu nose and use it as an anti-ship strike craft...... :)

I suspect a Missileer-style nose will end up irredeemably-ugly......

I agree that a Kahu or A-4R "Fighting Hawk" radar nose would look good on the Devastator II or on the Skylass (with a name like that, it seems destined, too, for high and flighty nose art). For a Missileer-style radar nose, you'd need a rather large radome. If the radar antenna could get acceptable range and stay within the width of the fuselage, I could see a straight, constant cross-section, area right in front of the cockpit and then a large radome. If the antenna needed to be wider than the fuselage, I can see some interesting fairings aft of it; how well these are executed and blend into the existing lines would have a great effect on the aesthetics of the result.

Nah, I think that my original suggestion of a missileer nose would ruin it.

Was looking for ideas on what goes with "face" ships. Ugly stuff goes heel.

Would anyone offer a speculation on the smallest carrier that can operate the Devastator II?

Not hardly, I think the Devastator II looks good and was commenting on the thoughts of dy031101. A suitable radome, like those conversions I mentioned, would look good on on since the lines would blend. Going for a large, Missileer-style, radome would have the effects I mentioned (I'd rather you didn't, myself, as either would seriously hurt the aesthetics of the Devastator II).

I was only joking about the Devastator II. That's why I post for good and bad reply's.......

Love the Soviet F4Us

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #189 on:** March 30, 2013, 06:37:09 AM »

Maybe a U4 version or even a FG2 in the two tone grey scheme of some of the La-5s? For that matter, what about a La-5 with the R2800?

apophenia · « **Reply #190 on:** March 30, 2013, 11:59:30 AM »

The VVS Corsairs are great! Maybe some underwing RS-82 rockets?

jorel62 · « **Reply #191 on:** March 31, 2013, 08:02:03 PM »

Thanks guys...... Is this what your looking for GTX?

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #192 on:** April 01, 2013, 03:08:05 AM »

Perfect!!!! Outstanding work - that may even have to be built one day! :)

Cliffy B · « **Reply #193 on:** April 01, 2013, 03:51:10 AM »

Anyone have some 1/72 decals for that? I have an F2G that needs ideas. Would look great sitting on the ground in snow. That two tone gray over light blue is just

Needs a Russian pin up though. Have any in those fur hats of theirs?

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #194 on:** April 01, 2013, 04:34:32 AM »

Something like this comrade?

jorel62 · « **Reply #195 on:** April 01, 2013, 06:36:38 AM »

Thanks guys....... The next one will have a Russian cutie on it.

'Molly' and the Soviet F2G are cool!!!

Thank you...... Sorry GTX. I couldn't find one in white.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #198 on:** April 02, 2013, 02:43:18 AM »

I suppose that will have to do....

Thanks for the various Soviet Corsairs, well done!
