    S2A CDF Variant

    I think I have all the basics in place now on the exterior model.
    Time to get started on mapping for textures.

    Oh my!

    She's a beauty!

    ...as well as the Hemet based colour schemes, I'll have to use all my persuasive influence to convince Matt to do a special HAF version for Greece.
    Never can have too many 'tankers' down here in the summer.

    "Matt is not here currently... if you'd like to leave a message after the beep i will get back to you as soon as possible........"

    won't take much convincing though

    i don't know why but i just had one of those 'What if' thoughts... was flying the S2T and though "man put floats on this, fit a few seats and talk about an extreme bush plane!"

    either thats a good idea or i've been raiding the drinks cabinet once too often, and finding only pepsi....



    she really is looking great Milton! bad news guys... i've looked at the S2T Mil variant now... and theres a stick being waved in my direction as if to say "get it into that paint hangar and get working!"

    LOL Matt. I think the C-1A would be better; already has the seats.

    i'd have to agree... plus it'd sound meaner approaching them lakes

    No meaning to hi-jack this thread too much...but there's a military variant of the S2T? I found the firebomber (Firecat) version of the S2T, but haven't seen a military version of it.

    Yes Sir!

    This is the bit that removes "the what if?" element.

    Thanks for the HAF version Matt!


    Edit; This is all perfectly true! A monk in the breathtaking, monastic area of Mt. Athos, everyday, rain or snow goes out on to the mountainside and blesses the Hellenic Air Force pilots and aircraft. A kind of unofficial 'patron saint'.
    The pilots know this and regularly fly at a hairsbreathe distance from their spiritual guardian.

    Where else on earth would one see such an awe inspiring gesture? It brings me close to tears.

    O,

    The version Milton did was the version by IAI/Marsh and was used only by the Argentine Navy. The ROC Navy version was made by Grumman and used the same engine but used a Dowty Rotol advanced 4 bladed prop. These were the only users of military equipped Turbo Trackers AFAIK!
