More details wouldn't hurt, more detailed panel lines and rivets for instance and maybe smooth out some of the angles on the vertical stabiliser too.

Yeah I didn't do the silver underbelly, I was tired too. I should really fix that....Blackbuck wrote:More details wouldn't hurt, more detailed panel lines and rivets for instance and maybe smooth out some of the angles on the vertical stabiliser too.

I'd also ponder about maybe using the waist gun positions for either infrared searchlights or maybe even fixed waist guns a la AC-47s. Finally I imagine you could also get away with slinging 7 round FFAR pods where the HVARs would have once resided under the wings.
The A-25K's are not bare metal, but aircraft gray and white, not bare metal, lol. The IR is in the Turret in the nose. There would be the FFAR's mounted on the wings, but I wanted to keep them clean as I can't mount them and make it look correct. I do not know what Librarian has planned for the waist gunner positions, but both your ideas sound feasible. The belly gun area is probably an IR camera for Aftermath/Result photos. I will be doing a SEA scheme as well with the A-25K.

@Rhade: The low-viz markings?
@ace: Well firstly, yes a 767, mainly due to the P-8 not having the legs to go to the local supermarket let alone replace Nimrods etc. Secondly anti piracy operations, bombing camps etc in western Africa. Countermeasure dispensers are usually conformally mounted, in this case on the centreline. That said there's nothing stopping someone mounting Terma's countermeasure capable hardpoints on there. Also to my knowledge nobody has drawn up much in the way of ordnance yet other than bombs...
