Back again, again. I hope the thread sticks this time.

Starting fresh on flickr because of photobucket.

Firstly, an opinion needed: cut along the line or not?

Soviet tailless bomber. Gonna have to be careful straightening the engines, the hole for the engine nacelle goes almost all the way to the end of the wing.

Going to cut the tail off a bear. Instead of starting with the 1/200 kit, I've started on the non scale kit I got off Aliexpress just to get an idea of I need to do to the bigger, nicer kit.

Also converting a non scale macross kit into a real worldish 1/144 fighter.

Stay tuned for more.

Tailless Bear. Doesn't look quite right with the nose and radar, I wanted more of a B-2 nose, but the radar is pretty integral. I guess I could chop it off and call it an earlier model.

Thanks guys! :smiley:

Should be flown by USAF and USN.  Heck,,, the Army too.

Actually I am trying to think what colours to paint it. Although I do love my blue splinter camo, I'm trying to steer clear of it and mix it up a bit.
So current thoughts are:
RAF/RN green and grey stripey
US/Marines green and black/green and brown

Love them both! Any details of construction on these?

Tilt-rotor: Body is from a Harrier that had its engine removed and replaced with a styrene tube, wings are from an F-16 bulked up with some puty and the rotors are from a cheap non scale V-22 (same brand as the Tu-95). Engine nacelles are built from F-2/F-16 and Tornado fuel tanks - the back half of a Tornado fuel tank forms the main body, the nose forms the intake and the nacelle nose is the pointy end of the F-2 tank.

SAAB thing: shortened Mitsubishi F-1 fuselage (would have liked a T-2 for the clear double canopy), Tornado wings, F-16 tail fin AND RB-04's from Fox One.

Unless otherwise stated all builds are 1/144 scale.

Closer to 1/500 or so, but it is actually a dry run for a 1/200 version I have in my stash - didn't want to go in blind and wreck a kit.

Managed to get a bit of time to finish these:

Untitled by BTSpolygon, on Flickr
Untitled by BTSpolygon, on Flickr
Tilt-rotor finished. Powered by a hybrid prop/jet combo, props for forward flight and a jet boost for takeoff and landing on account of the wing blocking the small props. Also not much in the way armament - only one usable pylon on the wings and one on the fuselage. Other than that, I like the way it turned out and it's not bad for spare parts build.

Untitled by BTSpolygon, on Flickr
Bear finished and I managed to find a use for the phantom too.

Untitled by BTSpolygon, on Flickr
Top one is a super hercules  proposal (C-141 with a C-130 nose). Bottom is a shortened C-5, based on a lockheed proposal from way back - MSRA or MRSA? - but I like to call it a C-5SP.

The yellow stuff on the body is epoxy putty, the yellow stuff on the tail is just yellow plastic sheet. Not sure what you mean by third kit though? The tailplane is from a 1/144 fighter jet and the engines are just resin cast copies of the engine from the kit.

The C-3 looks awesome! What kit did you start with?
This one:


Anyway on to new business:

I decided to crack open an old idea I had of a modified Flanker. It'll be an ace combat inspired build that incorporates some ideas from the X-02 Wyvern (central missile bay and intake mounted missile cradle) onto a SU-27.

Untitled by polygon, on Flickr
To start I used a stalled build of an even older idea that didn't pan out. Its a dragon 1/144 SU-35. I cut off the canards, but thats no big deal I'll just put them back.

Untitled by polygon, on Flickr
Then I crafted the central missile bay and missiles (these are R-77Ms), then I cutaway some space and did a test fit. But something just didn't feel right.

Untitled by polygon, on Flickr
Then I discovered why it didn't feel right. ITS. TOO. SMALL. Here it is on top of a trumpeter Flanker and a quick google search confirms that the dragon kit is undersized. Now I have to wait for some F-toys Flankers to arrive, I'm not using the trumpeter because that's a 2-seater and I need a single. I was quite excited to start this build too. :icon_crap:

The C-3 looks great - especially for being 1/700. Very impressive!

I love the C-3, it's gorgeous, and find the F/A-36 quite impressive.

Thanks for all the support for the C-3. Small but enjoyable build, was worried about the panel lines on the wings, glad the paint covered it up nicely.


Next up: F/A-36.
From a pure looks perspective I think its my favorite design so far. The model itself - not so much, it's the trumpeter 1/144 F-22. The canopy is firmly molded into the fuselage and the parts fit wasn't so great so it was a little difficult to work with.

On another note this was the second model from the same build list that I completed (first was the C-3). Usually I make new lists half way through builds - weird times for me.

Certainly looks larger than 1:144th scale in your images.  I think the under the wing stores help to disguise the actual size of your subject.  Very nice! :smiley:

Had a bit of trouble going from 2D to 3D so I made a quick prototype out of a cereal box. Many areas for improvement have been noted.

Good stuff all round, but I just love the tilt-rotor Helix.  :-* Looks like something the Soviets/Russians might have done.

The Apache/Osprey mash-up is also brilliant!  :smiley:
