falcon20driver Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I know its been thrown around, but I'm curious how much actual enthusiasm there is for a 1/48 Falcon 20. Obviously, I have a vested interest in seeing one come to light. I feel there are quite a large number of options when discussing types and color schemes. Freighters, corporate, military, sub - contractors and the likes. I could get detailed walk around photos certainly of Garrett powered F models, and maybe even GE powered E models at my old company. Obviously the big exterior difference being full span slats vs. DLEs and the engines. When the slats are up there really isnt a difference between the two. Past that basically identical on the outside. I have my training manuals and could probably get a hold of some technical manuals from my maintenance dept. I know some others here have also flown them and could provide insight to help Sio develop one. So, what say you!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Hell's yeah...here's my two reasons why. The USCG HU-25 would be a cool option and the civilian simulators flown by FRA ( European company? I've seen them a few times when operating overseas out of RAF Lossiemouth and Kinloss); Quote Link to post Share on other sites

falcon20driver Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 I don't hzve pictures but I know MIT and NASA have one as well. Keep posting pictures and commenting guys! Maybe if we ask really nicely we can finally have a proper 1/48 Falcon 20. I know I'd build a bunch because everyone I fly with wants one, and I'd have 2 personally in the display case.

falcon20driver Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 If AMK molded the slats in the up position, and included the two main engine types, you could build almost any 20 you'd like. Obviously the Coast Guard used a slightly different engine and some had a few different sensors. Heck, they could do a corporate/freighter boxing and a coast guard/military type boxing and cover most examples. Happy thoughts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 It falls under fair use in any event, and you could say the same about a large percentage of the images posted on modeling sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
