Awesome stuff, Merlin ! The second set of piccies are much nicer...keeo up the great work !

I only have one comment ( other than the ones previously ) now that I see the close-up shots. Don't all of the gunships have some kind of wind deflectot thingy in front of the windows and doors to ease the slipstream over the openings ? Just a thought.....as the more 'jumk' hanging off a bird like that, the better !

PS=love the idea of using R2-D2s head !
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
Vive les Canadiens !

Great work merlin, B)  B)  B) I can see "Charlie"bolting for cover when that beast roars over. I had planned a A/V-22 Osprey gunship but it never happened. now where did I put that Osprey(Rummaging through stash sounds) ;)

She's a masterpiece Bruce, and a bloody good idea!

Ignore Toad's comment about the wind deflectors, he's scared of anything that might siphon the head off a beer.  ^_^

Hey, I've got a license to fly those things!  Where can I get one like that!?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That is a badass idea.  How did I miss this thread earlier?

What markings did you use btw?  

And I had to take a second look at that tail number.  The "1010" looked familiar, so I had to check with my personal photographs.  I have pics of an A-7D with the SC ANG with the tail number 73-1010.  Just thought it would have been weird if there was a decal sheet out there for that same aircraft.  But, it's from a different fiscal year...
Man, we should have cloned twenties. Jackson wouldn't have given a poo-poo.

Thanks for the feedback Guys.

Aeroplane Driver...I sent you a Jetstream ages ago, complete with the measurements for those engines you were going to scratch, in advance of the parcel. It was long ago and far away...etc.. ;)

Keith Diamond...I used my decals from a Matchbox A-7D Corsair II.

Thanks again, people.

Hmmm....I remember us talking about it, but I never recieved one.

I was acutally wondering out loud where I could get a real Jetstream like that!  They're fun to fly, but some firepower would really make for some fun!   :D
