Yeah. That's a great idea. I've often wondered how the Skyraider would have faired if they had upgraded it to a turboprop aircraft.Blackbuck wrote:Wonderful! All we need now is a similarly modified three/four seater Skyraider at some point. (None of this Skyshark nonsense).

Re: FD scale Alternate Universe Designs
What are the gunpods for, though? Didn't the A-36 have .50 cals in the wings?

Re: FD scale Alternate Universe Designs
Yes, they did, and some even had 4 20mm, 2 per wing. This version has the 6 .50 cal, 3 per wing, and 2 20mm Gunpods (1 per wing) along with the Rocket Launchers. The real Cavalier Mustangs had a total of 6 hard-points, 3 on each wing.

Re: FD scale Alternate Universe Designs
For an RAF that desperately needs a maritime patrol/SAR/ISR aircraft after the retirement/scrapping of the Nimrod. If SAR was put under contract along with SAR-H, it could be seen in HM Coastguard colours:

Why desert pink. Should it not be hemp?

Re: FD scale Alternate Universe Designs
Yes, you're quite right. I was looking at a Nimrod in desert pink, without realising that the colour was only applied for desert ops. I'll leave it on, as it could be used by the RAF in Afghanistan for ISR.Blackbuck wrote:Why desert pink. Should it not be hemp?
I've added a hemp aircraft, and I'll change the description to ISR, MPA & SAR aircraft.
