Wyrmshadow's Assorted Whifs

[Wyrmshadow]

I really like this.  Its stubby appearance reminds me a little of the AVX Future Vertical Lift contender.

My inspiration was the Sikorski Defiant helicopter

Production model vs Prototype.

How about a USMC/USN WWII version?  Perfect to assist ambitious assaults...

Piasecki-Douglas Heavy Lift Helicopter.

The true Dakota

Direct comparison with the Chinook. It's roomier in the Chinook and those turbines provide a lot more power.

I made a jet version of the XP-67 Moonbat.

I gave it J47 turbojets and had to redo the engine cowlings. I also added 4 20mm and 2 30mm cannons instead of the projected 6 37mm cannons. The greenhouse canopy was replaced with an enlarged Mustange bubble canopy.

Great concept - J47s otta make it hustle

How would you go sweeping back the outer wings?

After a little research, the J47's would weight 1000 pounds more than the engines I wanted to replace.

How would you go sweeping back the outer wings?

If I tried to modify what I already have, that would be extremely hard. I would need to make/find a new set of wings and engine pods. And that would radically change the look of it and it's not what I want. A swept wing version would look similar to a swept wing Me262 with the engines buried in the fuselage.

[Wyrmshadow]

As you can see the J47's are very large and so I need to redo the landing gear to fold inward up against the wing instead of inside the engine nacelle.

[Wyrmshadow]

I fleshed it out.

Use J85 or similar be it dry or wet.      Inspiring pictures

I'm trying to keep it Mid-1940's timeframe. J85 would be too modern. J47 is stretching it too.

Of course, I get it.    Maybe plans were dusted off when S.E.A. scaled up.

Gorgeous!

Here is something I wanted to make since 2009. A non-twin.. F-82 Twin Mustang.

[Wyrmshadow]

I've been doing some Kriegsmarine aviation. The bombers and torpedo planes textures are not done. The Fighters are. This is 2 Toni Naval fighters with the standard Emil model in front. Only difference with the T has a wider wingspan and arrestor gear. Hard to tell from this angle.

[Wyrmshadow]

And this is me attempting to pick up something I dropped in 2009. Naval Stuka work in progress. Basically done, I still need to flesh out the textures.

Hmm, a German "hose-nose".  What engine - a 4-row double-BMW-801 ?

I don't remember what the donor aircraft model was but it's 2 rows of 7 cylinders. The measurements are 1.1M in diameter and 0.5m in length. A BMW 801 would look huge on this plane. It would turn it from a hose-nose to a droop snoot.

EDIT: I just did a check with a Ju-88 model vs this ship. It would only make the cowling .5 meters longer and slightly narrower for some reason.
