Giving this one a go....
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!
The shockwave scheme works really well with the triangular shape of the A-12!
The lion looks cool too!
Damn, that looks like one of those crazy paint schemes from the Japan Air Self-Defense Force.....Originally Posted by Jafo

Kinda finished with the Shockwave RNLAF .....
Holly hole in a doenut Batman! The graphics are superb! Well done ol'chap!
Glad you like it, dvj ....
Meanwhile....since the XB-70 is one of my all-time fave aircraft [I can remember the News reports of the mid-air] ..... playing with a NASA ver.....XA-12, anyone? ....
Love it! Glad you went with the earlier NASA lettering, rather than the 80's red worms style.
Meatball looks huge - but that's just opinion.
Really captured the essence of that mid-sixties test vehicle look. Will be all over this if you release this!
Many thanks,
DL

DL ....yes, I was sucked in by a trendy '3D' graphic.....but I recovered....
The old NASA lettering is likely an anachronisim....but it suits.
Bit more to fiddle with....cos I'm aiming for a 'prototype' look ...so will rework the alpha to 'dull' bits....
Hello Jafo!
Reallyl like the new look. I'm thrilled you're also picturing a "prototype" versus "billboard" - we're definitely on the same page. Curious you say anachronistic - which is true based on the cockpit. But I'm contemplating transplanting in a different VC in, to take the vehicle back to something that might have surfaced in the 60s or 70s. The windscreen frame common on most period aircraft pose a challenge, but something like the Piglet's F-5 or something on that vein may work.
Anyway - kudos on the progress - and thanks for the paint!

Still haven't altered parts of the shine....but I think I'm finished with the 'paint'....
...redid the NASA text, and put in several 'notes' re explosive charges, etc. 92-001 seems 'about right' ...
Edit..... finished. Got 'carried away' and added signatures to the canopy [from X15 pilot autographs]. Will upload soonish.
Looks cooooool!
Like the Dryden logo - looks good. Did you intend to not include the hyphen between the XA and the 12A? That's about all I say ... bravo!

Rats....you noticed....
The USAF font I used didn't do dashes...so I left it out.
I'll put it in.....

Fantastic! Not crazy about that General Dynamics blue banner, but hey, I'll take it!DL....

I'd go as far to suggest that you offer a 50's flying wing like poished skin, but this on is the dog's bolli....
