wow... no one saw this early 80's Clint Eastwood movie??

 

The premise is, he's an experienced American fighter pilot, (I think flying Aggressor Sqn ), but unusually, he also speaks Russian. The West learns of the Soviet "Firefox Mig-31" and get very concerned... it's somewhat stealthy, very maneuverable, and capable of speeds beyond the Blackbird, and huge fuel reserves. Oh ya... and it can be controlled by thought, it reads your mind. Faster to react, they say. But they realize, the pilot needs to "THINK IN RUSSIAN" to fly it.

 

In a panic, the Americans and Brits launch a plan... TO STEAL THE JET!

Ok, so it's not the best action movie... but it was pretty good to inspire me until Top Gun showed up years later!

 

Then again, Blue Thunder featured real footage of helicopters doing crazy maneuvers in urban Los Angeles...

Beautiful work one minor issue.

 

 

 

The board number on the nose section doesn't line up with the shape of the nose section.

 

Would be nice to arc or angle the number if possible.

 

I think I see what your talking about. I'll try to see what I can do...

So maybe they'll resurrect a few Tomcats from the Boneyard to act as Aggressor Squadron... to act as the real world Mig-31? Seems slightly plausible to me! Big long range radar, speed and angels...

 

Nice repaint! Sorry for the earlier thread hijack!
