Description
Another "forgotten" piece from last year: the Vought ES-5A Kingfisher II, a multipurpose aircraft combining the Electronic Warfare and ASW missions. The original, real-life Vought OS2U Kingfisher was an observation/scout floatplane series of the 1930s. It seemed logical, therefore, that this new type should be called the Kingfisher II...
The fuselage and tail are from the S-3A Viking (which was a Vought design, by the way — "Vought Viking" sounding MUCH better than "Lockheed Viking"!). The engines are from an OV-1 Mohawk, and so are the glazed cockpit and front fuselage (which have been stretched horizontally). The radome is from a Grumman E-1 Tracer. The windows are from a Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey. Can't remember where I got the propeller and the rudder from... Anyway, I had great pleasure doing this one. Hope you guys like it!
