Looks good to me. 8-) What is it some kind of laser designator or radar platform? Looks like a gulf stream. Astor you say what is that?
Only thing I see is your having the same prob Ive had in the past. Lining up the Vertical and rudder textures.

Edit- I know what you mean that color makes it hard to see the reflects but its a military paint so what can you do. Had the same color on the USAF S600.

Its the RAF's new recce aircraft based out of Waddington. Its called the Sentinel.

A cliche but true: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

But i generally like aircraft with strange humps of stuff sticking out :-?

Airborne STand Off Radar - hence ASTOR...

Its closest US equivalent (is of course much bigger and) is the J-STARS E-8.

Well the Sentinel is painted in a matt scheme, so there shouldn't be many reflections at all (only around the leading edges of the wings, and the engines)!

The round hump on top is where they keep the spare tire.

In service Raytheon take the credit, ie it's known as the Raytheon Sentinel R1, as they did the conversion from the basic Bombardier Global Express.

Hi, just wondering where I could download the model/texture for this.
I presumed it was on the UKMIL site but could not find it.
Is it for members only?
many thanks
