A few more What Ifs

After a flurry of activity, I have cranked out a few more What ifs; some are presented here. Remember, in this What if world (at least in mine), anything goes; no rules, just right.

Argh! Where did you get those Estonian markings from?? I've been looking for some for ages!

Great stuff, the Tiger-striped Crusader and the Dog Sabres are my favourites.

I don't recall where I got the Estonian markings from; I have a decal stash that goes back 40 years; they may have come out of one of the "Roundels of the World" sheets that I have from Zotz decals.

Here a few more; some F-104s with F-16 wings and tail

Oh yeah that German P-39 will get the JMNs in a twist!

Outstanding work, Wes!

The White/Orange bird in the photo with the F-104s is a Mirage F.1 with F-104 tip tanks. I thought the F.1 is a very good looking aircraft, and wondered what a USAF version would look like. I went a bit overboard and have built 9 to date, with a 10th one ready for assembly.

The other White/Orange bird is a Hasagawa F-8 in White/Orange with tiger decals lifted from a Tornado.

That is a very impressive collection there Wes, and I really admire the imagination you put into your paint jobs, they look so right.
Cheers for being such an inspiration to us all

Thanks so much; I have been doing What-Ifs for over 40 years, and have managed to build up a few (500+) to date. Here is a shot of the "rotating display" that I have in the office.
