Niels Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Kursad, Would there be an opening for civilian agressors like Draken International, DADS, BAE Systems etc? http://www.airfighters.com/photosearch.php?for=945 http://www.airfighters.com/photosearch.php?for=418 http://www.airfighters.com/photosearch.php?for=768 They fly a mix of Macchi 339's, A-4K, TA-4K, A-4N etc. I know that others have done the BAE Systems A-4N's, but not the others ...... ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I've got a contact at Draken International if necessary. Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Well, some of those sure look build able.....Especially the Discovery Air A-4s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 Forgot to mention that Draken also flies Mig-21bis/UM's too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris D Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 That actually sounds like a really interesting and unique idea. There are several companies in the US that fly aggressor aircraft as well. ATAC flies Kfirs, Hunters and L-39s. TacAir flies Tucanos, Super Tucanos, SF-260s and CF-5D. And as mentioned in the Learjet post, Phoenix Force flies Learjet 35s and 36s as electronic warfare aggressors. Certainly would be something different. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 It does sound like a good idea. One potential problem with using private businesses' logos and names on a decal sheet is that you never know how they are going to react. Many of them just do not care if their names are on a decal sheet for model aircraft, but occasionally some of them do (and don't ask me how I know). I will keep the subject in mind and see what I can do. Meanwhile, if you have some contacts within the said companies and can put me in contact with them, please contact me at "info@caracalmodels.com". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loki Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 The BAE System Scooters have already been done by at least 2 companies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) The BAE System Scooters have already been done by at least 2 companies. Yes: one of them happens to be an employee of the parent company of BAE (i.e. might have gotten permission beforehand), and the other happens to be a German business who is beyond the reach of any US trademark/IP lawyer with too much time on his hands ;-) Edited October 5, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 The BAE System Scooters have already been done by at least 2 companies. The US version is a direct copy of the German version. Licenced or not, we still need DADS, Draken and all the others mentioned :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Djack Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I too would love to see the Draken, ATAC birds in decal form. I have some A-4's sitting on the shelf hoping for the Draken markings as well as a Kfir for ATAC. I'll watch this with interest! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
