Not so, a lot of aircraft for Spain use the letter E in front of the usual aircraft designation, similar to the Canadians using the letter C.
That's true but Kenya isn't part of Spain.

Very observant. Thailand is not art of Spain either. But when they bought the former Spanish Harriers, the designation didn't change just because the owner did. What I am saying is, there is precedent for letters at the front of the aircraft role letter, and as this is whiff-world, he can call it what ever he pleases.


Agreed  :thumbsup:

Nice to see a smaller country get its due. 
And a cool aeroplane.
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

I agree too.

That's odd, but I like it. Have an Kenyan aircraft on my agenda, too, but so far had not the right idea for a convincing hardware, except an F-16 as a F-5 replacement. But that's too boring.  ;)

I'd go for a few Gripens, like Thailand. Or perhaps the JF-17 Thunder like Nigeria. The FA-50 Fighting Eagle would be a good fit, too. Tejas, maybe?
Whatever.

Bf 110E electronic warfare aircraft?

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.  Revelling in numptytism.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed, badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry.

Is there a model of the Tejas?

If there's not a Tejas kit, that makes it more interesting for Dizzyfugu.
Whatever.

Yet another Mirage, l'm afraid.
Whatever.

That looks really good - and a great backstory as well! :thumbsup:
