[REQUEST] Draken International A-4L Skyhawk

[TheFoufure]

Hello,

Can anyone make this paint for AI FS2004 ?

It's a private society utilising A-4 skyhawk, based a Lakeland Intl (FL).
This society will also use MiG-21, A-4K an MB-339.

Sorry to renew this, but just read an article on this unique company and didn't know they acquired 25 Mig-21s to go along with the already extensive fleet. I have the repaints from the NBAI/MPAI A-4, not sure if anything is out for the MB-339.

I have it in my pile of things to do..... At least the A-4k, TA-4k, and MB339... although we don't have a MB339C without refuelling probe... <hint hint> but I have the paints of them in RNZAF service done....
I have some photos of the Black and White A-4L's, and spotted an A-4n in the same green scheme as the A-4k's......

I have access to Nick's source files on the MB339. Removing the probe would be fairly straight forward I would think.

[SeanG]

removing the probe would make me so very happy, I'd have to shout the Mess!

Thanks gents, these could be FP'd to many bases and I'll sure based on the recent aggressor contract, Nellis for RF will be a norm.

[MIKE JG]

Sean do you have any pics for an example to go off of??

[SeanG]

http://www.drakenintl.com/aircraft-inventory.html is a good start.

A nice shot of one in Draken colours..

I've done paints for the entire RNZAF MB339CB fleet. Currently have them sitting on the "A" model, but it would appear that Nick's CD? Model would be fine just by deleting the probe. Wouldn't be a big deal to modify my paint kit to include the Draken markings, and remove the RNZAF ones


(This was an early paint test)

Been waiting for these for quite some time, as well as some others from Lortie Aviation http://www.lortieaviation.com/index.htm and Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC) http://www.atacusa.com/

Keep up the great work guys!

[SeanG]

I'm keen on doing some ATAC repaints... Didn't Mike Pearson do a Kfir in ATC colours, or was that a flyable I am thinking about?
The hunters look good too... and I *am* stuck in hotel rooms for the next couple of weeks... Draken first, then I'll see what happens

To add, Discovery Air would be another using now retro models.

Oh yes... I can see my future now....

Didn't they have a mishap a couple of weeks back, gear up landing?

SeanG

They did:

Right... looks like I'm not the only one keen on doing a Draken package..
I can contribute the Macchi repaints (I'll repaint my RNZAF ones into Draken scheme), and I can modify my A-4 and TA-4 paints as well.

I also have the serials and N Numbers for the ex RNZAF aircraft...

So... we need;
An Airport - KLAL
A-4L (and A-4N?) paints
Mig21 paints
L-39 paints
A Gulfstream and a Baron??
and some flightplans.....

Doesn't sound like a big job at all </sarcasm>

Oh, and if I get time on this trip I'm hoping to call in and visit Draken... no promises, but may be able to get some photos etc.

I do have the sources for the MB339, I can produce whatever version you need.

[SeanG]

If I could be greedy....
- Clean
- Ferry (two drop tanks)
- Armed (two drop tanks, two rocket pods)
Each solo and two-up
Failing that, the 3 configs, all with 2 crew...

Told ya I was greedy But appreciative!

Ok shouldn't be too hard or take too long, just need an hour or so of undisturbed (hard to come by these days) time.

If I haven't done them in a week, remind me to do them.

[MIKE JG]

Can you attach one of your NZ textures for the model for me to make use of please. I need to see how Nick mapped some of the parts and to do that I need a NZ texture to apply to the model.

[MIKE JG]

Everything plays well together so shouldn't take too long to make these up for you.
