Is there a paintkit available for the Area 51 U-2? I know that Lockheed tried some crazy schemes trying to make the planes more 'stealthy' in the '50s and would like to give them a try.

Don't forget the U-2 of the 1950's was quite a bit different than the modern era U-2 (aka TR-1 design).

I'd like to see an early U-2 be developed - d'you know they even made equipment enabling an early U-2 to land on a carrier. It didn't need the catapult to take off either!! :jump:

Yeah, I know. I'm hitting google for ways to add a tailhook as I type :) Next, it's the C-130's turn!:icon_lol:
