Super-Etendard who sees double ...

A finished, another started immediately ... Model based on the Academy kit and a good dose cogitation ...

You should have paused for a day & entered this in the "In the Navy" GB, leptiprince.

Looks good, may have been a contender! One less I have to compete with.

Apparently Super Étendard's can breed!

Who knew?!

It looks better as a two-seater to my mind, I wonder why they didn't do that for real?

The two-seater Mirage F1 is the same, much better looking than the single seater.

You got that right on both counts Kit ! What are you using for conversion parts ? I really like the look of this one !

leptiprince · May 31, 2016, 06:31:31 AM

Well. For the conversion, I used a piece of Mirage 2000D and Mirage F1B back canopy...

Very cool conversion - but the nose appears a bit long now (relative to the wing and tail position)? Two-seater conversions can be tricky when you add a fuselage plug...
Looking forward to see what becomes of this one.

Compared with a Mirage 2000 and Mirage F1 I added the second driver behind the first, the nose is the same as the car. For jagaur he added before. I think it is credible

Supertom · May 31, 2016, 09:36:13 AM

That's pretty neat! Did you have much trouble extending the forward fuselage to accommodate the extra seating?

Tophe · May 31, 2016, 09:46:32 AM

Very good idea, and very good work making it!

leptiprince · May 31, 2016, 10:20:15 AM

J have opened the fuselage behind the pilot without extension like this photo..Look http://pierre-maquettes.over-blog.com/2016/01/super-etendard-biplace-1-72.html

Skyhawk. I say I say Skyhawk !

Wow ! Impressive work!

Back in the days, I wanted to do the same thing, but never had the time/skills to do so. So I just draw my minds on Photoshop.
If you need inspiration (but I think you already know what you want it to look like), I have a lot of those profiles in HD (Emirates, Thai, etc. With or Without weapons).

Continue comme ça !

Most interesting! A double-entendre-ard

Captain Canada · July 01, 2016, 09:36:07 AM

I really like the camo on that one ! Nice !
