JackMan Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 When it comes to dirty looking Eagles & Falcons, I always liked the looks of the Japanese Eagles and the Greek F-16s.

DarkKnight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 is it possible we have been at war so long racking up hours and wear and tear on equipment that its just practical that x and m are being used and constantly refurbished to keep up with operational tempo? I figure if at the SU-22 had a flare the 9X couldn't deal with, a software upgrade would be made to it and the M, am I right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JakubJakepilot Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Regarding recent integration of -9X to 366th birds mentioned in this thread, what it needs ? Just a new software ? or internal hardware ? wiring ? or external like new rails ? anything "modeleller´s wise" to tell which Eagle was "upgraded" and which was not ? Thanks !

Nothing different “modeling-wise” for the AIM-9X- just slap the 9X on the missile rail. Edited January 23, 2019 by Falconxlvi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What gets the "overdone weathering" comments are the uniform, inky-black panel lines that, while artistically pleasing to the eye, are not realistic in the slightest.
