you can't tell me it doesn't look the same? unless you refer to a different one? Or is it a joke I don't get? sorry I'm a feeling a bit slow today. Must be that whisky Grin

Theres something wrong with that flight model. If you stand still and put reverse thrust on you can reverse up the runway at about 80 knots ??? still its fun though.

Its an entirely different plane than the A-3, the A-3 "Whale" was a US Navy bomber/tanker in the 50's-70's.

I know that what I mean is that it looks very similar to the skywarrior.

kind of knew that you will ask someone to repaint to to the Israeli colors.....
Actually I'm already doing it Wink

I've D/L this beautiful model and right away started to repaint it, even before flying it!
So don't worry... hold on couple of days buddy.....
P.S... At least at first it will be only with the camouflage colors but maybe later I'll work on the silver and blue-brown colors too... ( I guess you can do one of them yourself, don't you?)
I'll show you some pics when I'll work on it a bit more Cheesy

Well I did all I could, and will probably keep repainting it, but the resolution is sucks......... for example...... in the paint file it is written very clearly "Vautour", but in FS all I see is a big black spot....
Anyhow, it is a Vautour, and it is Israeli, after 31 years.....
Don't wanna show a picture until it will be finished though.... Grin

the skywarrior has a different cockpit,landing gear and is much bigger than the vautour. (even the biggest aircraft ever operated regularly from a carrier.)
