jankees 917 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Here's my latest project, Ol' Gappy, the ultimate survivor with 157 missions completed. Unfortunately, I have not been able to finish it yet, and I'm leaving on a field trip next week, so... Here's how far I got, still not finished, because there are still a few things that are not right (including some really stupid things), so here's my offer: Look at the pics below. If you see any mistakes, or other things that you want added or changed, send me a pm or mail, and when I get back next week, I'll see about incorporating them in the final paint. I can't guarantee I'll include them, but at least you'll have the option of making your own suggestions. How's that? I posted this on other forums too, to tell you the truth, I'm curious to see/hear what you'll come up with! See you next week! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,438 Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Have a great trip, I will certainly have a go :biggrin: Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jankees 917 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 back from the field, here's a few shots of progress: no more unblemished yellow, a correct number of mission markers, more paintchips on the leading edges, more weathered paint, the yellow triangle on the tail now connects up OK, the serial and 'ol gappy' are now complete, more dirt on the wheels and a few more odds and ends...

allardjd 1,853 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 That's really good - best I've seen from you yet, and that's saying something. After 157 missions it would look pretty ratty and you seem to have captured that quite well. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,438 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 I agree John. Jankees, you have made such a good job of this I really wouldn't want to fly her! Well done, Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EdW 0 Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Are you still active? Your 'Ol Gappy' seems to have the Cheyenne tail, which the airplane didn't have. I have a picture of my father in the tail of this actual airplane. He flew 32 missions and the one mission abort. I thank you for your work on this airplane, as I am working on a model of it, and photo references are, to say the least, rare. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jankees 917 Posted October 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 I'm still active, but with MSFS. As for the Cheyenne tail, can't be helped, the A2A model only had this tail. As for the lack of pictures, I know, this is always a problem, and so sometimes one needs to make concessions... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
