Wich model of Falcon 20 do you use ?

UKMil have a very good AI Model of Falcon 20 (all the FRA Aviation fleet), with ECM Pod etc.
Have you repaint these model ? (juste change FRA logo to Cobham logo ?)

[VulcanDriver]

Ah yes. I live just down the road from Bournemouth Airport. The Falcons use Amber and Pink for their callsigns. The Dorniers use Watchdog as they patrol the seas for illegal fishing etc. Not seen the BN here but may use the same callsign. And the Superking is used to do ILS calibration usually using Checker as its callsign.

Well its not actually a 20 model im using its a 10, its the best looking i could find without too much work!! the ukmil one was considered but meant more work and new panel lines etc as im not one for photoreal textures on models, so just changing the FRA to Cobham is not an option for me!!, now saying that if enough people would prefare the ukmil model to the jbai one then i am willing to do the work on it

Much thanks

I understand your opinion.

But I prefer a real Falcon 20, instead of a -10 model. The UKMIL have got some ECM Pods, like the reals ones.

There is another Falcon 20 if my memory serves me. Look at my reference, Mark.

Sent from mobile hence short

By chance the Super King was checking the ILS at EGHH today using the callsign Calibrator 26, not Checker.

Website suspended... I hope the Falcon project is still active.

Or, if someone can repaint the UKMIL model, it will be great.

Mark's Cobham paints are now available at his Owl's Nest section.

Yes, I have them.. great. But Mark use a Falcon 10 model instead of a Falcon 20 (like the UKMIL one).

When attempting to paint the Falcon 20 ukmil model there is a mapping problem at the bottom of the tail and back of fuselage which puts the stripe out of place slightly, its not a major problem but put me off painting it.........



Much thanks

Mark

[TheFoufure]

I see...

But, if you finish this repaint (with this problem), can you send it to me ? Sorry but, I prefer a F-20 model (with this little painting mistake) than a F-10...

Regards.

Mark, do you know the Falcon 20 from Andrew Jarvis (listed in my reference)? Isn't that a good alternative?

[Tranquil]

Not sure i have time for a full set but i can do the 1 for now! will see how i go..

Martin, yes i know of his model but cant think why i chose not to use that either, i just thought the 10 model looked the best and had no problems when painting it...

Much thanks

Lovely, I see them everyday flying over my house as I live on the EGHH flight path. Most fly to south west to play with Royal Navy ships.

I have request. Could you do the Falcons in the original FRA markings for us retro fans I have the Falcon 10 but they don't look right. Here are the current serial numbers if you've not got them.
