Another US railroad whif from me, a Baldwin "sharknose" A-unit locomotive in Santa Fe "Warbonnet" markings.  The markings on the one used by Delaware and Hudson could be used as something of a guide.

Yeah.  To the best of my knowledge, the Santa Fe never owned any of those.  I would love to see a good profile of that.

Centurion lower hull, with tall/narrower turret, like a Gepard, with a single HAWK missile on a rail on each side of the turret.

Basically, a lot like Buzzbomb's Malkara on a Cromwell:

Dang ... that's a BIG missile!

Yep.  I didn't know that had been done.  I am not at all certain it was ever done full scale.

Anyone willing to do a Ukrainian F-4E Phantom inspired by this article:  https://www.twz.com/air/greece-plans-to-sell-f-16s-mirages-to-rationalize-its-fighter-inventory.  I was thinking that with the way so much old 1970s/80s (and older) equipment is getting re-use in the war, one could even see their F-4 Phantoms getting use...

Another thought if someone wants to take it up:  Ex-Luftwaffe/Aeronautica Militare Tornado IDS and ECRs in Ukrainian service.

Since the USAF is looking to phase out their A-10's, how about sending a bunch to the Ukrainians?

By the same token, I could see phased out USMC AV-8B+'s going there, though they would need more training than a lot of other potential "surplus" aircraft.

Purchased a book on the history of Air Force One and that inspires me to think of a VC-121C done up in a variation of the Raymond Lowey scheme used on the jet-propelled Air Force One aircraft.

On secretprojects forum people who, apparently, know something are saying that the A-10 can be great if you have air superiority. In contested airspace it is a sitting duck.

Because they would be dead meat in the face of the air defence environment there.  More importantly, the Ukrainians have said that they don't want them.

I know RW the Ukrainians changed their mind on the A-10s. And that makes sense in such a GBAD environment.

Still ... looking at the stalky undercarriage legs of the A-10, I can't help but imaging all that ground clearance being exploited for use as a carrier for air-launch attack drones. Of course, in that role, the A-10's monster Gatling gun would just be dead weight. Hey ho ...

A couple more railraod requests.  Since the PRR and NYNH&H used the same electrification scheme, how about a GG1 in one of the classic New Haven schemes (*NOT* the McGinnis scheme!).  By the same token, the PRR and the GNR also shared the same electrification scheme and I think a GG1 in Great Northern markgins would be stunning.  For teh record, when the Great Northern ended their electrification, they did sell locomotives to the PRR, but, TTBMK, they were never painted int eh fancy PRR livery and the sole GNR Y-2a would have looked great in it.
