Something different (PE Ship)

[on:]

I've completed a collage of the PE ship based on the pic I drew of it as a gunship - this time in several different airforce markings.

I tried to get the markings, layouts and camo schemes reasonably realistic and the names too although I got them from a book that might be slightly outdated so I'm not entirely sure all of them are correct. I understand that probably half the airforces now use anti-radar paint which is usually completely grey but that is far too boring.
I made all the logos from sratch apart from the PE logo which Paul made.

It's a *big* pic so you'll have to follow the link.

Great ones Zed!, the spanish one is good, those are the colors who are used by our Mirage F-1 fighters,F-4E and Mirage 3000 (obsoletes) (now all of the F/A-18s,EF-2000 are grey)

Also is very curious the turret of the ship and the "electronic alert system antenas" (are they?)

Much Thanks! 
Glad you like it.

The turret is basically more of a Tank turret, there are actually two big guns either side (you can only see one though)

The "EASA" - I'm not sure  , if you mean that long pointy thingy sticking out above the cockpit then it was something I saw on the Mi24 Hind-D gunship that I thought "Hmm, that would look good" but apart from that I don't actually have any idea what function it's used for.  You could be right, I don't know honestly.

sorry, but the german luftwaffe version is all wrong.
the rust holes and the 'will do anything for some money'-bumper sticker are missing. plus the door actually fits and the weapons seem to be working. that's just not a realistic, you know?

Alright, alright so I took a few liberties here and there.

Some attack planes and bombers in the USAF still use camo.

Boy, all these military nuts.  But I like the pictures. I really like the one from Spain, and the US version looks pretty nice too. I hope you take the time to slice up the picture so the individual planes can look crisper.

Well, there is a spanish squadron of F/A-18s that uses that color scheme , they are used for training simulating posibly enemy colo schemes (like the Agressor squads in USA) ,The F-5E , Mirage F-1 , F-4E also stil uses it (the F-4s are only for recon, the F-5s are for training-reserve, the F-1s are about to be replaced by the EF-2000 in main fighter/interceptor/attack aircraft role , the F/A-18s will remain in service.

That is an electronic warfare system antena, it receives enemies radar emisions to alert pilots that somebody is watching the HIND in a radar... the standard radio antena is smaller

Cool stuff, it was worth loading a huge picture to see that

Thanks everyone.

The planes were all done individually, I all have each one saved on its own.  I then pasted all the little pics I made of them together and kept them the same size. Some of them look blurred because I went OTT with the Softening tool. 

Thx for the info Javier 

Oh and don't worry Chump I plan to make another one and Canada was always going to be included 

Thanks again
