Trim. And try not to use too much pitch input. Throttle only to control rate of descent. Mark

Built this 1/35 MIM-23 I-Hawk launcher while waiting for the Hornet to be released. Mark

Hmmm. I’m having the same issue here. Mark

Have you tried the in-game modules manager? I got mine from there. Mark

2.5.0 is stable release. As mentioned, you’ll need Open Beta 2.5.2. Mark

This is what I do when I'm not on DCS. 1/48 scale Su-27 Flanker loaded for bear. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Thanks guys. A compressor and airbrush will set you back at least $300. Paints go for about $3 a jar and can be used for several models. The kit costs about $25.

Here is my rendition of the Tamiya 1/48 P-51D Mustang built to represent 41-4151 which was named "Petie 2nd". Hope you enjoy the photos!

Interesting idea. What about an AC-130?

All Tomcats have Martin Baker seats. GRU-7 in the A and B and SJU-17 NACES in the D.

Much thanks for the kind words everyone! Nope. This was built strictly out-of-box.

Thanks for the kind words everyone! :) Neither. Gunze Paint and Airbrush. :D This is the Revell 1/48 kit.

...of a different kind. :) My other hobby.

May want to check page 7 of this tutorial. Mark

Yup. LINK Mark

I wonder if other variants of the F-5E will be modelled like the F-5EM of the Brazilian Air Force etc. Mark

Concur with TooTall. Mitsubishi J2M Raiden.

If they do an Iranian Tomcat, I wonder if they can simulate the air-toair version of the I-Hawk SAM.

That's a D model though. Not part of this release but I do hope LNS does release a D some time in the future.

Well, I was't exactly saying that FTD is the only source for good markings out there. Just that aftermarket decal companies in general tended to put a lot of effort into research and that they would likely be the best source for getting detailed information on the various schemes. It'd be nice to see some of the more exotic paint jobs done such as those in the NSAWC Adversary and prototype schemes.

If you really want to get the markings and paint schemes right, you'll want to look up the guys who do decals for model aircraft such as Fightertown Decals.

Ah. I didn't know that. Thanks. Only the cover that was attached to the probe was removed as seen in the photos that Demongornot posted.

Probe doors were removed from the Tomcats as the metal drogue baskets (affectionately known as "iron maidens") used by KC-135s and KC-10s had the tendency to rip the doors off, potentially causing FOD damage to the Tomcat's engines. Thus, the decision to remove these doors from Tomcats operating with ground based tankers such as during ODS, OEF and OIF. The Tomcats delivered to Iran also did not have these doors.
