Ok - no worries - just had hoped I hadn't somehow missed something. Will happily wait. Regards, DL

What? A Bonnie? How awesome is that!!! Anyway - back to the matter at hand - does anyone know where SkyhawkA4M's VA-212 and USMC schemes are at? They look just superb - would really like these. Kind regards! DL

Good looking, JAFO!! DL

Our own Dave Quincey did a few schemes, on flightsim.com 3 files match the search criteria.Search Keywords: dave scorpion <tbody><tr bgColor="#efefef"><td><center>FS2004 (ACOF) - FS2004 Modern Military</center><center>FS2004/FSX Iowa ANG F-89J Scorpion </center><center> Download | View ] </center> Name: f-89j_ia.zip Size: 6,343,283 Date: 05-30-2009 Downloads: 344

Nice Jankees - any and all schemes are much appreciated. Regards, DL

Hello, Did this ever get released? I'm looking everywhere here on the SOH library ... Indeed any of the USMC ones you did would be most welcome. Links are dead, alas... Just got the model - really love it Virtavia - great job. Yes, a few niggles here and there - but overall, glad I got it - on sale, no less!! cheers, DL

Funny you should ask ... When Don's latest update was published, I saw the indicators for down as barberpole. That just seemed odd - but in in some photos in my books, they indeed show that for some of the newer E/J/L models. (eg: rear cover of Detail & Scale F-8 Crusader). Steve Pace's F-8 Part One, p.66 shows a vertical bar on a B model. In most of the museum models, they seem to be barberpoled....

Bravo Zsolt!! I have everyone of your MIII repaints - they're superb. I still really like the Skysim MIII - very enjoyable - and even more so, with your repaints. Many thanks!!! DL

Looks really nice! Wonder if a Korean War era boat will ever materialise, though ... Thank goodness for Mr Davies' Leyte and Laz' Ocean ... :) Can't deny she's a lovely looking boat - no doubt!:salute: DL

Hello JAFO, Just had to pop in to say a huge thanks - in particular for the DFRC scheme, with the fixed lettering option, no less. The metal looks awesome - all the various panels with different shades of polish - looks just superb. With all this work you've done, there really is something for everyone. Many kind thanks! DL

It's been out for years. Russel Smith did a number for this model way back in 2006. Here they are, including the low vis paint in question: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=Crusader+russel&CatID=root&Go=Search Enjoy!

Amazing! I know lining up those windows was a bear ... Many thanks, Tommy!! DL

Very smart-looking, Bill! :salute: Daniel

That's awesome - love it! DL

Well, looking forward to whatever you come up with. Indeed, those "older" NASA paints you did were my favourite for this model until this recent batch. So if they benefit from any of your current panel line work great - no worries either way. A further twist on the NASA models - for more peaceful purposes, could be a rendition to represent the earth science surveillance platform that was the U-2 and now the ER-2. One could easily argue the delta wing does not confer the greatest high-altitute performance - but, it's a sim, right? A bit hard to find good photos ... I really like this older scheme with the blue meatball ... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v487/theplasticsurgeon/ModelPlanes/U2s/Airfix_U2_Nasa.jpg . http://aether.lbl.gov/www/projects/u2/U2EXPGFS.JPG

http://royalefrenchnavy.perso.sfr.fr/RFN-1-CDG-FR.htm - look at the 2) on the right. Don, what's there more to say - other than AWESOME - CAN'T WAIT! Another RF-paint seems almost too good to be true - that you've mapped it to the F8U-1Emodel is great news - the fewer missiles, the better! :) Looking forward to this - and it's motivating me to find more time to finish my Cuba '60 scenery project ... Regards, Daniel

Man - you're really a machine!!! I'm almost all out of ideas - you've done every single one I could have hoped for. All I'm thinking (and maybe they already have it) - but your X-24B and X-15 inspired paints from pages 3-4 of this thread - could they benefit from your recent updates? That's really all for me - the couple USMCs, couple of Navy prototypes, and couple of NASAs - my cup runneth over!! DL

Smokin', JAFO!! No worries on the text orientation. You're right, the other text in relation to the NASA flash would have had to have been "over" the flash. Although that's the compromise I'd have made, the key word is "I'd" - the your repaint, your choice - so no worries - love it all the same. NASA font is all sorted - nothing left to say - oh, except that I saw you snuck in a Dryden logo - clever bugger! All in all - it's just magnificent. 10/10, mate! Cheers, DL

Hello JAFO! They all look awesome!! Re: F/A-12 prototype (red/white) - I'd say it's there. Re: YA-12 (NASA) - I think the blue looks good as you've rendered it. My only commentary would be around the NASA font - and position. You've used a serif'ed font, vs the non-serif font used in the mid 70s period in the ref photo. Here's a few other NASA aircraft using the same yellow flash/black lettering - all from the same period. Now granted, these are dedicated NASA test bed machines - but the point is they used the same flash font during this period .... http://www.air-and-space.com/20060213%20Palmdale/DSC_2988%20Jetstar%20N814NA%20NASA%20left%20side%20l.jpg

JAFO - you're an animal, mate!! Unbelievable productivity. Looks awesome - my only minor comment would be the FA-18 - perhaps would better as "F/A-18" - as per both the paint scheme and the general USN/USMC fighter type nomenclature. Besides that ... just make some room at my fave hangar at Patuxent for some trials .... she'll be well loved!! Cheers, DL
