would observation aircraft count?.......im thinking in terms of cessna birddogs and skymasters and the like?

Any aircraft whose primary role is for reconnaissance or gathering information is good - maritime, ELINT, AWACS, photographic, AEW - even a Tornado GR1a fits the bill.

Well j would like to join this if possible. My modern jet ( entry ) is in the garage awaiting mojo to come back. Any way I not long ago watched the" eye in the sky" with Helen Mirren. 


Does a reaper count ( drone) spy plane unmanned?

I'm in with a Canberra PR.9, much quicker than my only other spy alternative (the P-3)

It flies and spies!

Can an Arado Ar 234 in 1/32 by Fly count?


It was a bomber, but did recon as well

[flyjoe180]

Have to wait for an official judgement on that one I suspect John, but it says it's a reconnaissance bomber. To my way of thinking that's the same thing as a Canberra bomber converted for PR.

But if I build it, it will be with the bombs, which puts it "on the fence"

[flyjoe180]

Armed reconnaissance then?

Yes and no


The Ar 234 could be armed at times for bombing missions or camera missions.

The above list isn't exhaustive, something like a Buccaneer or Jaguar with a reconnaissance pod bolted on would be acceptable for example. You might be stretching the definition with the Arado but the more the merrier as far as I am concerned. Build away mate.
