XX344 RAE Hawk

[DaveG]

Not a problem Keith. At the moment they're straight from the paint-kit, as are the stencils etc. Easy enough to tone down.

Cheers DG, looking great.

334 had a crest on it below the rear seat and in between the ejector "triangles" I've no idea what it was though. Its the same on both sides, I have a B&W pic in the book of her sitting upside down on the runway and its just visible. What looks to be "Aircraft Establishment" are written on the white below the pilots position and just above the red. Pic attached below...

If your feeling so inclined I can probably dig out some pics of the various funny nosed Hunters

I quite fancy getting a HP115 and a BAC222, Did Mr. ito do these for FS9 a while back?

[DaveG]

Thanks for that Ben Found a pic of XX160 that has the same (similar?) crest, and the words "Royal Aircraft Establishment"

That looks like it to me. Do you thing we (you ) should make 160 the reg, in case folk think 344 is a bit... morbid?

[DaveG]

Up to you mate

Here's 344 with a bit of tweaking.



Found a good pic of the badge off a Gnat.

Looks bloody good to me. Lets keep it at 344. I'm wondering if it said Royal Aircraft Establishment, or just Aircraft Establishment. It seems odd that it would have had the "Royal" but the B&W pic doesn't look like it has "Royal". unless of course they covered over the Royal bit post accident.

[DaveG]

I would have thought it would have had the "Royal". Doesn't look like it's been covered up though, as far as I can tell.
The pic of the gutted fuselage doesn't have any writing on the right-hand side, but 160 had it on both.
I think I'll put the full text on both sides, as that seems most likely.
I still need to do the wing leading edges as well.
Should have a download up for you later this evening.

[TSR2]

Brilliant. Thanks very much indeed. I'll just need to keep away from any AI Britannias

Looks very nice I must say - well done. Unfortunately my pictures of 154 are later as it has DTEO Llanbedr on the nose!

OK, here's the zip: http://daveg.cbfsim.org/files/XX344.zip

Let me know if there is anything I've got wrong (probably something!) or you'd like changed.
