A B-1 lancer? I hate to say it, but I agree. I absolutely love this plane. It has got to be one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made. Goes right up there with the Hustler.

 

[Wild weasel]

I would totally get the lancer. Not only is it cool, but it has sentimental value to me. My dad did alot of the tooling for the rudder WAY back when...

 

[Wild weasel]

K-tig, you if you do the backfire I'll do the PAK DA

Ugh, 5th gen aircraft are hideous.

 

[Midget]

I wouldn't do it like most fivers. I'd make it have a more classic look. Guess I shoulda posted this pic:

atleast they don't paint them to look like a pancake like they used to

 

[K-Tiger]

Funky, but in a cool way.

 

[Midget]

That thing… looks like a frog. Cool painting though.

 

[Wild weasel]

Never realized that, but it does look like a frog

 

[Wild weasel]

just noticed some thing, it has wooden props. Awesome, the good ole days.

 

[Midget]

I wonder how that thing was to fly. The yellow one looks like fun….

 

[K-Tiger]

Charles Lindbergh seemed to like it.

Well, I wouldn't want to fly it. It would be different, especially on take off since you have like 6 inches of clearance without the nose angled for takeoff. It probably had good visibilty for taxiing though considering the angle its at, since it has no nose.

lindy flew one?

 

[Midget]

Charles Lindbergh seemed to like it.

How 'bout that.

 

[K-Tiger]

Yeah, apparently he test flew them for a period.

 

[Wild weasel]

One just needs to paint that large surface with a target.

Skystrikers seem to be shelf warming here now.

 

[NSA]

I imagine once the die-hard fans get their.. 6? each? Then they'll pegwarm along with other Joe stuff. Hopefully the F-14 iconic look will snag a few casual buyers..

I think if they went with a Retro ARAH look for the packaging it'd do HEAPS better.

This was the paint scheme during testing. I also think one was polished aluminum, but I'm not sure
