Re: Vought (Chance Vought, LTV)

Added quite a few images and links.

 

[Stargazer2006]

Re: Vought (Chance Vought, LTV)

Great work! I think we also have the picture of the V-343, V-356, V-362, V-382, V-404 and V-434 on the forum.

Also you seem to have omitted the X-100 (FAX) and the V-1000.

 

[Stargazer2006]

Re: Vought (Chance Vought, LTV)

Forgot also the V-358 V-368, V-378, V-406, which all appear on this forum.

 

[Mark Nankivil]

Re: Vought (Chance Vought, LTV)

The V-521 can also now be added.

Thanks for what you're doing - great visual reference!

Enjoy the Day! Mark

[Sandy22]

Much appreciated.
I see that the thread is not exactly recent, however, here and there, i find quotation of "visual reference" and "pictures", while I see only text.
Also the link to http://celticowboy.com/V-LIST.html is dead.
Thank you a lot!

I linked the project number to the relevant topic and added a thumbnail picture from the topic, but these all broke when the thumbnails got regenerated a while ago.

I'm going to redo this post as the new Xenforo software means linked images should not break when topics are merged etc.
