So... What's next? We need some new military muscle for us EDF junkies! : )

tifi..... Welcome brother! Hope you enjoy the madness here... Merry Christmas! :-)

OV10 ooo yaa..im not always in..sorry about that..just my cheap opinion..and thanks for the info mate:Cool:

[OV10]

xviper maybe for larger scale and 105 /110 mm edf..like hsd do on F15..make more features something like that..

As a newcomer to this forum you most likely missed when Alpha (Head Honcho Guy of FL/FW new products for Motion) just recently explained that EDF's of that size are not part of the market focus niche for them.

I love Mike Machat's X-Plane paintings. :Cool:

Maybe MiG 21 / Mirage 2000

?????? Those models already exist and they aren't that old. Why would they do another?

[OV10]

didn't the f4 also drop bombs?

yes they did and quite a few of them ;)Just checked........18 total of Mk-82

[Felixs10]

F105 is my guess based on the video footage and name of the project

[gooniac33]

pretty sure I read on here that Alpha was wanting a good F-4 ....

I would be cool with one of those too....

We can only hope:pop

This video was posted elsewhere and appears to have the same footage as the Motion trailer does. That leads me to believe F-105.

See? I was telling you the same thing on your page... I remember seeing this footage many times over from the gun cams of the F-105... This same bomb was also carried by the 100, 104 and F-4..... so who knows whats happening... I would really love a big detailed F-105 though!! Been wanting one for the longest!! If its a Skyraider... crickets for me.....

Machat did this artwork, Vietnam era bomber...

[BRGT350]

I am also guessing F-105. The footage looks like what I had seen in the past from F-105's and the one shot of the tail isn't the F-4. I doubt the F-4 could have dropped as many bombs as the F-105, but I am not anywhere close to being an expert on Vietnam era jets. I am pretty sure the footage is USAF and not any Navy aircraft, and they already have the A-6, F-8, and A-4. A Vietnam era USAF jet is surely missing.

Damn DK.........great detective work. I'm convinced you nailed it.
Now all you have to do is come up with the correct analogy/correlation how MACHAT works into the project name and I can see Alpha forwarding a THUD your way.
That FOIL project still has everyone scrambling. :Thinking:
SO...........4 EDF's back to back huh Alpha. It's now time for another prop job and since your now looking at Nam birds.
Make Boots and I go screaming out of minds with joy over a :ov10:)

RIGHT ON CB!!! Machat’s bio reads “As the nephew of a Republic Aviation
Corporation Chief Engineer”, so if that’s the brother of his father you’d have it. The first foamy THUD? So a park flyer like the F-8 or something in the 80mm size?:Confused:
Good find DK!:Cool:

[dkalwishky]

Damn DK.........great detective work. I'm convinced you nailed it.

I have to admit that I did not find the video, someone else did and shared it so i shared it here.

We also have project foil coming up and some have thought that could be an F-4.

I can't wait for tomorrow!

[CFIT rob]

Mike Machat bio also states he was chief artist and corporate representative for McDonald Douglas.......hmmm....alpha is almost as cryptic as my ex wife. I have to go with dkal, its a thud. My guess is 64mm.
