Oddball 146 Models?

[railrunner130]

I was wondering if there may eventually be a few oddball reworks of the BAE-146 planned.

I was looking for info on the military demonstrator that I saw about 10 years ago at Andrews AFB and tripped over this- a water bomber version!

To be honest with you I'm not sure precisely what other specific variants are planned by Jon in the future.

I can say our first release will feature civill versions of the BAe 146-300 series aircraft and panel/s.

That water bomber is an impression....has it actually happened.I don't recall it.

Still better to get the main civil ones up and running first and any oddballs can be a question for the future.

I'm not even sure if FS.9 can do a water bomber??

I did a little research and it appears to have been tested as a water bomber.

From what I can tell, it appears to have been a conversion project by PEMCO Aviation www.pemcoaviationgroup.com

The water bomber version would be relatively easy to do- given a cargo version is made available. The link above shows windows, but a cargo bird would be more appropriate for the job, for easier conversion in the off-season. A new coat of paint and the addition of the slurry (a smoke effect) would be trial and error for proper placement. Not too bad.

I'm into oddballs, you may remember the STA version I did of the earlier model?

Mark is quite right, the base 100, 200 and 300 models are the priority, and a decent VC, so oddball suggestions are welcome, and probably easy to create but only after the base models are completed and released in their final Version 2 format.
