Been working on off and on for a couple years. Need to paint and put decals on.
Seeing the need for increased CAS in both Iraq and Afghanistan, the Joe team looked to Tiger Force for inspiration. Seeing a couple Sky Rats mothballed on the tarmac in Bagram gave Skystriker an idea. Why not add more bombs and missiles to one of them? As with all good Joe ideas, more firepower means better. After a couple too many near beers the Ruiner was drawn up and given the go ahead by brass. Along with the Vulcan cannon on the front I’ve added two Bush master cannons off of Bradley Infantry fighting vehicles and six more hard points to mount more ordinance, for a grand total of 16 hard points. It is also now completely VTOL with new integrated fly by wire controls and 4 engines to accommodate the increased weight of all the new ordinance. The plane also now has a dedicated weapons officer/ RTO to keep in contact with the ground troops. It has a massive payload that can be custom tailored for the individual missions. Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Still very much a work in progress. Last edited by Joefan80; 06-15-2019 at 10:39 PM.. Reason: Edit pictures |
