Just too many military fighters on the forum nowadays - so I thought I'd redress the balance a bit.

It's not a Mirage......but what is it?

And where was the first pic taken...any ideas? It's brilliant scenery... ;)

Thanks guys. Nope, not a new model. Been around a while. I came across it a few months ago. Yes, does have a VC. My repaint though, which like most of my stuff nowadays, I've never got around to uploading.

I'll tell you more when someone can say what plane it is  ;)

The aircraft....a Gulfstream of any shape or form?
And the location...I'm getting the feeling of Greek islands or Greece for some reason...
Nice shots all the same.  ;D
Cheers  ;)

Aha....we're getting there with the aircraft. Thought there were more small bizjet fans around here than there really are.... 8)

And we were already warm with the loaction....... (goes off singing Volare oh oh oh oh and 3 coins in  the fountain..........)

Yep, you've got it Strato. The AIA Astra that became the Gulfstream 100. The model is by Peter Brun of Liderdesigns. See the link below, but don't bomb it out as it seems a bit slow and we don't want to blow his bandwidth.

http://www.liderdesigns.com/models.html

I've repainted it as you can see and I also started redoing the main and vc panels. Just dug it out again and I think I'll finish off what I was doing as it's a very nice model.

If you go to the link you'll see Peter is working on some other very good stuff - hope he finishes em off

OK, now where was the scenery? Believe me if you don't recognise it, you haven't got it and if you haven't, you're really missing something.
