    Before F-4´s, A-4´s, F-8´s..

    You had to master one of these....










    Still WiP (schemes/textures)



    The 2 engine Buckeye came a bit later, but if you were going to earn those navy wings, and you happened to be in 1959 to 1964, the T2J-1 (later T-2A) was the mount you´ll have to master before you got into the hot stuff (Phantoms, Scooters, Crusaders..)
    Coming really s**n!..full of details and our own "busy cockpit" which will ensure you´ll have to read the manual before you hop into it, and yes, once again, you´ll have to monitor that engine..Part of the Buckeye Xtreme package.

    Best regards

    Ron, looks fantastic as well, though admittedly a bigger fan of the B variant. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to it's release so the scooter gets closer to completion.

    Not only the T-2A, but all versions of the Buckeye will be part of the package (T-2A/B/C/D & E).........

    Here some WIP shots :

    T-2B (HQ USMC / Washington DC)




    T-2C (US Naval Test Pilot School)

    Hi,

    Looks very nice. Please, no plain 255-255-255 white, go a bit darker :salute:

    Hi Dag,

    Rest assured, I use FS17825 ( 241-240-234 ) as white, according to official USN documents. :salute:
    You can see the difference with the WIP of the T-2A (T2J-1), the canopy rail is left unpainted pure white.....

    Cheers,
    Hank

    Some weird effects going on with the nav lights!

    Great work on the Buckeye,Prowler...though I'm itching for the fsx'd Skyhawk set.

    The model is used for repainting purposes only, the floating Nav light appears to be a reference point.......
