- North American P-51 Knight (simply the most beautiful P-51 whif I've ever seen)

Keep up the great work!!

Swedish HD-780 would look fantastic in plastic...
I also love the D.520 in RAF colors... but why the Polish insignia on the engine cowling??

Thanks Stephane.

Wow AXU you've done some fantastic work and it's mind-bending how "right" the Dewoitine looks in different markings, especially the RAF example.
Any chance you can do one on USAAC blue & yellow with tail stripes?
Brian da Basher
-
Any chance you can do one on USAAC blue & yellow with tail stripes?
This is a good idea,certainly will look good.

Those look great, but the D.520 is so pretty that it takes to almost any colors well.

Those Romanian 262s sure are easy on the eyes. I particularly like the one in camo with W.W. II crosses.
Brian da Basher
-
Great job on the Me-262

Many thanks !
After Romania changed sides in August '44,crosses on the fuselage were replaced with roundels.

I love the Yak 2.15 of yours :-*

Gorgeous!! I can just see it in combat against Egyptian Meteors. Depending on the industrial purchasing/espionage involved, I can see the Israelis buying the rights and tooling to the Srmstrong-Siddeley Beryl engine and replacing the Jumo 004s in these with those engines.
-
Great profiles
-
Thanks.

Oh my that Dewoitine in USAAC "yellow wings" scheme is a work of art!
Brian da Basher

Great illustrations! The Naruto 's are a neat concept, can we expect Sailor Moon soon ? ;-) The IAF 262 colors look perfect.
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7032/6799504079_e846d3e5eb.jpg)

Sailor Moon?....I don't think so,but,who knows ;D
And now a Romanian D-9

You can just picture this one for real too!!!!! :-*

Absolutely. But she'd look great in that 1944 Me-262 scheme with roundels too.

-
That Romanian FW-190D-9 is great.
-
Thanks guys! :)
And now,inspired by a friend,I make a modern aircraft profile...I prefer ww2 aviation but I liked the idea.
Is about the Romanian training aircraft IAR-99 Şoim (Hawk).Patrula Galbena (Yellow Patrol) logo is also imagined by me.
Alex
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7210/6918227651_09958c2933_b.jpg)
-
Very nice! :)
-
Indeed!
...I prefer ww2 aviation ...
IAR-99 Şoim in the same scheme as your Fw-190D? >:D
-
P-40s such good paint schemes, like much.
Also super schemes on ME-262s. Just right colors. Carries blues well.
Those 30s AAC colors,,, how about on F-117 or SR-71 ?
Bill
-
Nice.
-
Great one
-
Alex,
I know I'm being subjective here but the '99 looks absolutely GREAT!
Thanks for that! Much more inspiring for the (hopefully) upcoming 1/72 kit, than it's MS Paint ancestor :)
Now, if you could only imagine some African, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern and South American customers for this bird. Yeah, it would have wiped the floor with the BAe Hawk in competitions! :)) C:-)
Cheers and keep it up!
-
Thanks a lot guys,I will keep in mind all your suggestions. :)
Alex
-
IAR 99 with MiG-21 Lance-R camo...pretty cool ;D
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7182/6955868365_1cf762655a_b.jpg)

Great stuff as always.......
-
How about some of those single seaters in South American or African Schemes?

Thanks Cristophe
Some time ago I saw Mylene Farmer Concert No. 5 ( impressive show) and I thought it would fit an aircraft profile inspired by one of her outfits.

-
:-* :icon_music: Great tribute to her! Mylène, I hope you see this...
(Well, journalists pretend Mylène is crazy, or plays a crazy character, they would say we are crazy in a different way ;) )
-
Well,crazy or not,she's a star,her music is impressive and emotional...this is all that matters in the end.
We are crazy as well,but beautiful and inoffensive... ;D
Alex
-
While I have no idea who Mylene is I do really like this new profile.
-
To understand what beauty inspires AXU's marvels, listen to the music he listens himself.
Mylène Farmer - Ainsi Soit Je... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChnKF9PJYNE#): a title which means something as "let me be myself". And I am truly happy to let Alex be himself, such a genius should not be disturbed...
-
:icon_music: :icon_music: :icon_music: thanks Cristophe
Maybe I'll do another profile inspired by Mylene,but for now I'm back to IAR 99...with gunpod.
Alex

-
Thanks !

Perfect! :-*
-
Thanks Cristophe,although I was not fully convince that it will look good,now I can say that I'm satisfied with this long nose version...thanks again for your suggestion!
Alex
-
How about some of those single seaters in South American or African Schemes?
...and the African one is done
Alex

Great IAR-99s!
-
The Yak 15 derivative is nice too.
-
Wow, AXU!
The Argie '99 is superb, and describes the beautiful birds of that nation.
The knight is automatically a favorite of mine a,d the Paki Yak is awesome
-
Thanks guys!
Rafael,I was thinking about doing a Venezuelan IAR 99 ;), and I think it will look great...I need to decide on the paint scheme,Sukhoi or Mirage style

Punt and use a camoflage scheme similar to their F-16A's.

Two new projects (suggested by GTX (http://freesmileyface.net/smiley/respect/respect-048.gif))
I.A.R.-81 with inline engine...
(http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6098/7018785285_c231ab557f_b.jpg)

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7058/6872678870_f87a6fd868_b.jpg)

Both of those are nice, the inline, especially.
Cheers,
Logan
-
Very beautiful. Thanks for these so enjoyable pictures :-* :-*
-
:)
-
Love them both :)

Thanks guys :)
On the version with inline engine need small changes to be made,for this plane were used Savoia Marchetti-JRS 79 hoods.
Now a Yak-2.15 of Haiti

Wow, those are gorgeous Alex. The Regia Aeronautica IAR.80 makes a nice 'book-end' to your Romanian Folgore :)
BTW, are we allowed to guess yet about the whif aspects? If I'm right about these, it is very subtle ;)
-
Hi,sorry for late response...and thanks!
I didn't think about it,was a simple exercise of imagination...but I'd like to know what you have in mind
Alex

Alex, PM inbound.

Alex that Venez IAR looks fantastic, so beautiful with Flanker-type camo!.
Also, as a blast from the past the vertical fin Chevron stands out proudly with its globe and bolts.
Astounding,
Thanks!!! :) :)

Great IAR-80´s, any chance for a Yugoslav IAR-80?

IAR 83 Bi.Mo, P-51B/D Bi.Mo. are cool concepts. 8) Great subjects for a kit-bash. :)

Those look great, AXU! The simplicity is what really makes them. It just stands on its own. Well done!

Seeing the ''conversions'' of ysi_maniac I remember that I started something like this some time ago,and think to finalize this drawing...seems interesting, don't you think?

looks right !
-
...seems interesting, don't you think?
Indeed. P-40F with P-51B tail and P-47B canopy/razorback Alex?
-
Both interesting and puzzling, yes :-*
-
Different...maybe you should throw some P-38 in there as well...
-
It does look right. Variations could be the Malcolm hood, even a carrier version.
-
Now,some inline IAR's

Totally different look, very nice!

Amazing how much difference an inline can make!
-
Elegant! :-* :-*

Thanks guys,indeed,this IAR looks different but elegant...pity that was only the prototype.
And now two Vultee Vengeance...

They almost look more like racers than interceptors. Nice modify concept.
-
Love the sharks mouth inline one!
-
Now,some inline IAR's
Am I correct in thinking Daimler-Benz engines rather than the Junkers Jumo engines flown on this airframe in the real world? I quite like the look you've given these.
-
nice Vultee ones too :)
-
Thanks everyone :D

No,in the real world it was used JUMO 211 Da engine from Savoia Marchetti JRS 79 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAR_80 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IAR_80) - read further developments

Yess, I know that in the real world the Junkers Jumo 211 was used. I was asking if the aircraft in your profile used that or a Daimler-Benz engine. THe cowling looked more suitable for the latter but I wasn't certain.
-
Thumbs up on each of Vengeance paint schemes. :) :)
-
Apparently there were plans and possibly even trials with both the DN601 and DB605
-
The inline IARs look great!
-
there was a 2-seat IAR-80 - lengthened fuselage & square canopy like the 2-seat Fw-190 - it was called the IAR-27 - possible night-fighter ?

Sorry,I'm not good at backstory's,I just thought how it would look with hinomaru on it
Chinese Vengeance----noted !

Well we definately need to see more of those 2-seaters! :-*

IAR 80 in USAAF and RAF markings?
Possibly with developed versions upgraded to R2600 or R2800 engines?

that US one looks like a captured aircraft used as a squadron hack ! ;)
Here's my start on a JRS-79 ...

Said it before and I'll say it again: great IARs! :-*
-
I agree: great IAR!
May I require a different one? twin-IAR with inline engine on port fuselage and radial on starboard fuselage? Or I may try myself.
-
Thanks!

I also love the ASh-82 version...very believable for a post war mod.

Some airframes inherently look good and markings just go from there! Very appropriate to put USAAF machine in Med scheme and markings.
The RAF machine looks great and it makes me wonder if a Griffon powerplant would disturb the lines of the 80' very much.

How about a Chinese Vultee vengeance?

Hi everyone !
Finally,I managed to make some profiles after two months of inactivity,unfortunately the next few months will be the same :icon_crap:
First,a new version of Yak 2.15,this one looks much elegant...
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8150/7700342472_86b73282ec_b.jpg)
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8286/7700342646_c409a7e7fc_b.jpg)
...and second,a personal version of Corsair with different canopy

Very elegant, yes :-*
-
very nice!! :)

Thanks guys :D
-
Wow talk about some impressive profiles! It's hard to pick a favorite, but that Klingon Corsair is truly inspired!
Great work, AXU!
Brian da Basher
-
really neat profiles, def suit the schemes too 8)
as you'd expect my fav being the Vengeance (another to add to my build list) any chance of seeing similar in the Finnish markings and standard RAF. camouflage, eg, green/ brown/ sky unders, methinks it would make a nice comparisim to the Finnish olive and black example ;)
best wishes, cheers, Joe
-
Klingon Corsair! K' plaaagh!
Hmmm, can a Spit in Rebel Alliance colors be far behind? Or a 262' in galactic empire scheme. F-15 in Federation....
-
Really like the Tai corsair :)

The Klingon Corsair (aaahh a real Bird of Prey) and 2-tone grey Soviet IAR are inspired!

Will you try derivatives with inline engines?

Hi Cristophe,is an option for future Corsair profiles,thanks.

Some possible inspiration:

or turbo-prop:

Hello Alex,
The emblem on the fuselage of the UFP IAR is the individual emblem of the USS Enterprise. In the original Star Trek television show, each starship had it's own emblem (you can see this theme in various episodes). I was thinking, perhaps the fin flash (which is the actual emblem of the UFP) should be on the fuselage....
Best regards,
CPT Mike

The Cors-race is very pleasant, thanks! :-*

Enjoy your many profiles.
But - gotta grin liking the Klingon Corsair every time I see it.

@ Cristophe:
My 262Z will be similar the design in the top row, 2nd in. (http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/messerschmitt%20262c%20Z-zza.JPG) A quick dry fit of TA-154 wing looks like I can use it as the center wing section adding at least one engine, maybe two.
You also captured my idea for a He 219 OWL Zwilling. top row, 2nd in (http://www.kristofmeunier.fr/heinkel%20119_319_b.JPG).

Good coming back! ;)

Hi Cristophe, :) glad to be back !
Latest 110's and a funny IAR-80 eggplane.

I LOVE this eggplane VERY MUCH :-* :-* :-*

Welcome back Alex - I love the Bf110s.

Maybe you should have a go at a Radial engined Bf110 such as I drew a while back - shown here (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=1325.0)

Thanks gentleman! :)
Greg,good idea,but I'll probably use Gnome-Rhône engine.

Very Clean and Nice, the Su25 are very complicated, I can confirm

Glanini,thanks a lot! :)
You're right,it took some time to draw it and definitely missed a few panels but the result is satisfying.
I follow your work for many years and you do a great job also.

It wouldn't be all that unusual. MiG-21s have done that very thing in USAF service already!

What a mystical measure of monumental Migs manifested in marvelous mind-blowing marquee of makeup masquerade.
Magnificent!!!

I really like these. Your detail work is very good.

Thanks for your appreciation !
Inspired by the wonderful Logan's profiles,last year I decided to do some Heinkel's...so these are my interpretations.

Love the F-5's. The (Republic of) Texas Air Force one is clearly from a squadron based in central or east Texas. Squadrons based in west Texas have a more desert-style of camouflage in keeping with the local environment.

Similar to FC-1 Fierce Dragon, IMO.

The IAR-95's an interesting design. Looks a bit like McDonnell-Douglas, General Dynamics & Dassault threw parts in a box, shook it up & "Voilà!"

Of course Greg

That Moldavian 339 is rather nice. :-* And so are the Un-United States F-5s. :D Plenty of storytelling potential there. :)

Almost a slightly larger JF-17...one might say.
Yeah. :) Or an F-16 with side intakes.
Then again, the JF-17 always reminded me of a 1/1 kitbash of a MiG-21 and an F-16. ;D
-
Swiss MB.339 seems particularly suitable, given that Macchi's hometown of Varese isn't that far from Switzerland. I loved all the MB.339 variants.
Hmm, now how about some MB.339K variants, single-seat light attack aircraft.
-
Thanks ! :)
Greg,RAAF Aermacchi it's done,I hope you like it.

Love the RAAF Macchi but always though the two seat AMX would have looked ideal in that scheme.

In the near future I intend to make the linedrawing of AMX,and certainly I'll do an Aussie one.

Beautiful new profiles... :) but...
and a funny IAR-80 eggplane.
Will you make other eggplanes? (my very favorite from you!) :-*

Cristophe,first of all Thanks,and second,dunno what to say...It's more complicated than a normal profile,or I thought it was....I'll definitely try other eggplanes but not too soon

Does anyone make a VG-90 in 1/72?
Dujin did a resin kit of the VG 90 in 1/72nd (DA72254) ... but I'm not sure if anyone has reissued that kit since the passing of Jean Pierre Dujin.
-
Looks like Sharkit picked up the Dujin models, at least there is a link at the bottom of their main page to 35 pages of kits including the VG-90.
http://www.sharkit.com/sharkit/sharkithome/sharkithome.htm (http://www.sharkit.com/sharkit/sharkithome/sharkithome.htm)
Probably send an email off to them and see what they say.

beautiful artwork profiles :) soo many to choose from each equally as good and imaginative, one of my favourites stil has to be the Finnish IL.10 in experimental camouflage from back on the first page, I would love to see the same scheme on a Me.109G or Ju.88A, very different indeed 8)
cheers, Joe

I have a few Trumpeter H-5s in the stash. The USAF and RAF versions be will built.

Alex: Could you do a RCAF version? Before 1968.
Also could you create Yak-25-27-28 profiles?
Thanks
-
Thanks guys,I'm glad you like my profiles!
The RCAF can be done relatively soon,but for Yak's it's going to take some time...but I retained the idea.
tsrjoe-very good idea
-
Some of the schemes might be whatif but some of the countries did operate the IL-28 in real life.
BTW, how about a Luftwaffe one for a possible Luft'50 scenario?

Twin Spit top view,ok.

Now we have a Twin Spit too :

Early last year : Canadian Torandoes

Oh I do like the idea of Canadian Tornadoes especially when one considers that Canada was part of the original studies into the Multi Role Aircraft (MRA)/Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) that led to the Panavia Tornado.
How about a Malaysian one as well since that almost became reality. Probably do in similar scheme to RMAF F/A-18Ds:

Clearly needs a re-do in a suitable over-water scheme, then. ;) Beautiful work, still.

Or is it? It has the 805SQN logo on the tail but it has an A- number as opposed to a N- number for Navy aircraft. Maybe it is a RAAF one that got zapped.

And I confirm: this IAR-823 belongs to the Mustang family, obviously (with the missing links):
-
Hate to tell you, but this one's Royal Australian Navy (805 Sqdn). ;)
Or is it? It has the 805SQN logo on the tail but it has an A- number as opposed to a N- number for Navy aircraft. Maybe it is a RAAF one that got zapped.
True! And I wouldn't put it past those sneaky little bunsen-burner buggers on the other side of the hangar to have done it, either! ;D
-
Love the Russian one. How about a Finnish one?
-
Of course, why not?Very good suggestion :)
-
One of the most beautiful aircraft : Saab J-21 A/R
I agree this design is very beautiful, and congratulations for your art devoted to her.

Nice profiles Alex.
I say Tor-nay-do and you say Tor-na-do. ;D

;D
Something like that,either way sounds gooood
-
Big G,I guess you'll like these,at least the first two ;)
-
Beautiful work! How about a Tornado ECR/EF-24 of the USAF?
-
Love the various Tornados especially the South African one.
Re the MiG-15s, maybe you should look here (http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?topic=64.0) - after all, the MiG-15 was a well known Canadian product... ;)
-
Thanks guys :D

Lot's of MiG Goodness :)

Thanks all :D
Explanation
Clearly, it's a loss and I'm sorry that he took this decision...
I found some drawings of IAR 99 Șoim (Hawk) and I think it requires a new smooth lineart,the difference between what I do now and what I did 2 years ago is quite visible.Initially all had Romanian markings,and today I thought to give them another appearance.

Yaks

IAR 81 jet

Love the Yak's Alex.

IAR 81 jet
Sorry, another source presented the IAR-81 as a piston engine aircraft but this was fantasy... ;)
-
Like your IAR 81 jet concept. Did you have a particular engine type in mind? And do your revised Romanian markings indicated an alternative 1946 regime change?
-
Like your IAR 81 jet concept. Did you have a particular engine type in mind? And do your revised Romanian markings indicated an alternative 1946 regime change?
I'm going to suggest they would be the same engines as conceived for the Messerschmitt Me P.1070:
(http://www.hsgalleries.com/gallery04/images/MeP1070_02_660.jpg)
(http://www.luft46.com/roart/ro070-4.jpg)
I understand these would have been BMW P.3302 turbojet engines.
-
Apophenia,by the time I realized this profile haven't thought of a specific engine, but definitely has to be German...and I think Greg has found the right engine :)
Regarding Romanian cross,again,I just wanted something diffrent without thinking about a regime change.Actually was inspired by this :
(https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/25/Naval_jack_of_Romania_%281948-1952%29.svg/240px-Naval_jack_of_Romania_%281948-1952%29.svg.png)
Cristophe,I've seen that drawing of Jose Fern and it looks very good...I even made a profile few years ago based on the IAR-80 version with DB-605 engine and bublle canopy.
-
Lovely IAR-82, thanks!
In fact, Jose Fern/Zero-Sen told me on PM that he did regret to have called it IAR-81 and IAR-82 code would fit better, like you did.
-
And it seems there was a IAR-82Z as well:
thanks AXOR!
-
The IAR-81 from the other source had a twin-boom (P-38 like) version, but Google translate fails to translate twin-boom in Romanian and I need help/correction:
-
There is no exact translation for twin boom but you were pretty close to an approximate expression,so, grinda dubla sounds good...however,twin boom it's more suitable in my opinion.
Corrected, thanks!:
-
I'm going to suggest they would be the same engines as conceived for the Messerschmitt Me P.1070:

Thanks Greg. Yes, the BMW 3304s look perfect.
AXOR: Still like those alternative Romanian crosses :)
-
Thanks apophenia,frankly,I like it too :)
Few foreign IARs :
-
Have you tried a BMW801 powered IAR81 or a floatplane ( or ski equiped) version?
-
Actually...yes,IAR-81 BMW a few years ago and floatplane version finished few minutes ago.....
-
My favorite is the floatplane, thanks!
-
Hi Cristophe and thanks...I wonder if you like a version inspired by Potez 453 ;)
-
:-* :-* Yes, I love it!
-
And I feel inspired for my Mustang collection... Thanks!
-
My love for the unreal IAR-82 had the same effect (thanks!):
-
Actually...yes,IAR-81 BMW a few years ago and floatplane version finished few minutes ago.....
ah, the floats from the Rufe fit very well ;)
-
Hi Cristophe and thanks...I wonder if you like a version inspired by Potez 453 ;)
and that is a noce idea for a whiff from a Potez indeed !

Cristophe,I'm glad I put you to work ;)
Exchange between Romania and Japan for evaluations :
-
Cristophe,I'm glad I put you to work ;)
Well, this is not (hard) "work", this is (pleasant) "fun"! Thanks again!
-
Mmmm...the Japanese-Romanian exchanges are attractive.
-
Fiat G-55 in Romanian markings.I intend to do Swisse,Spanish...and...well,I not decided yet,and North Vought P-51 F4 Musair.
-
:-* The G-55 is beautiful in itself but I still prefer the Musair, so inventive and nice! :-*
-
Thanks Cristophe,I totally agree with you.
Blue Angels...somehow
-
Oh, you're evil...I like that! >:D
-
Maybe they are the Синие Уголки!
-
I dare you to do a Thunderbirds MiG-29 now...
-
Greg,I accept your challenge,but not right now...I should write down all suggestions and take them at a time.I have to do anyway the lineart for Mig 29,but till then.... I present to you the Curtiss Republic XP-407/51 and North Vought become Curtiss Vought
-
Now you have me wondering what your P-407/51 would look like with a P-51D type canopy and windscreen. :)
-
All flow together well :)
Specially like first two with flat top tail.
-
Thanks Cristophe,I totally agree with you.
Blue Angels...somehow
Hmm, in 1/144 I have Blue Angels C-130 markings and kits of the AN-12 are available in 1/144. I may have to take a closer look at this concept. I'm already using one set of these decals for a 1/72 Blue Angels MV-22B, a 1/144 Blue Angels AN-12 would be an interesting companion.

MV-22B Blue Angels,that would be interesting to see :)

I figure to have it on the ground next to a Blue Angels F-35B; both bringing the show to fields that a F-18 and C-130 can not use.

Until the Thunderbird MiG-25 is revealed I give you Brewster Buffalo...never considered it a beautiful airplane,but for a while I changed my opinion.
For the moment only in Romanian markings:

beautiful artwork profiles :) soo many to choose from each equally as good and imaginative, one of my favourites stil has to be the Finnish IL.10 in experimental camouflage from back on the first page, I would love to see the same scheme on a Me.109G or Ju.88A, very different indeed 8)
cheers, Joe

I give you Brewster Buffalo...never considered it a beautiful airplane,but for a while I changed my opinion.
For the moment only in Romanian markings:
Would you improve its beauty with an in-line engine? ;) I know you can, but will you? ???
-
;) I know you can, but will you? ???
;D You start to know me ;D
I like challenges,but this one is hard.I'll keep in mind and try to do something.
Until then :

Thanks for considering the in-line Brewster as "maybe someday"...
And your Dewoitines are beautiful. :)
-
I think the Napier Sabre with annular radiator can be a solution for little Brewster,at least a visual one.
-
"maybe someday"...
Where did I say that?
-
Those D.520s are spot on. Great idea and execution.
Cheers,
Logan
-
Thanks Logan :)
Cristophe,now we have the Buffalo with in line engine. :) ;)
Although I stretched a little bit the fuselage think that it wouldn't be bad to extend it more.

Wonderful! Thanks a lot! Transforming a flying barrel into a beauty :-* congratulations!
-
Love the FARR Dewoitines and Fiats ... but your inline Buffalo with annular radiator is brilliant! :-*

Thanks guys :D

-
Delicious new Brewsters! :-*
Is the first one a 3-seater?
-
Thanks :D
Well,in this configuration is a 2 seater.
-
Love the scout fighter. :-*
Not necessarily asking for a Brewster variant (the Brewster being underpowered and all), but would you be interested in doing a floatplane scout fighter somewhere down the road?
-
Hmmm...a new challenge...why didn't I think of that?...very good suggestion,thanks.
-
Your "improved" Buffalos please me so much :-* :-* , I am very tempted to draw such AXOR-inspired Mustangs...
-
I have my selfish reasons- one is for what-if, the other is me being enamoured with World of Warships ;D
That being said, while I like having my catapult fighters doing hits-and-runs on incoming dive bombers and torpedo bombers in the game, I am still aware that seaplanes stationed onboard surface combatants (not aircraft carriers) during real-life WWII were primarily useful as scouts and/or artillery spotters, and having a second pair of eyes to do the observing seems more intuitive......
-
Your "improved" Buffalos please me so much :-* :-* , I am very tempted to draw such AXOR-inspired Mustangs...
I made it! Thanks again! and again! ;)

Cristophe,thay look great,especially the second one.

And yet,a Brewster on floats it's very attractive:

yes ! :)
-
That is beautiful, though it would probably be a SA-4, given that the USN designation system was fairly rigorous at the time.
I quite liked your approach of making maximum use of existing structure (It looks like the floats tie into the main landing gear trunnions, very neat).
-

Definitely an inspirational work! It's really tempting to consider as a 3D model and to see if I could "make it work".
-
Hmmm...
I have the 1/48th kits laying around to do it too......
(Wanders off to basement.....muttering....)
-
Trick would be to use the wing root openings to channel air to the radiators and oil cooler (thinking two radiators, one larger than the other, and one oil cooler arranged so that the cooling flow requirement on each side is the same. The radiator flow would exhaust on the upper surface of the wing near the flap with a flat variable nozzle (overall, much like the in-wing cooling system Caproni Reggiane tested on a Re.2001).

But what is this design? Edit: it is a JL-9 which is based on the J-7 which is based on the Mig-21.

The dark green MiG-29 would also look good with roundels and fin flash for the Royal Danish Air Force.

Certainly :) ...as a coincidence I just finished a profile with a fin flash quite similar...at least as form.

-
Definitely an Lansen replacement...It wouldn't be right to replace such a beauty like Draken ! ;)

Lansen replacement with shared maintenance and support facilities with Norway who also operates it; leads to procurement of Gripen by Norway.

Yes --- And for an aesthetic cool RF,,, I nominate RF-101.

Aero L-29 ú (útok ) based on L-29 Akrobat :
I thought útok was meaning "single-seater" but Google Translate tells me this is "attack". Good transformation, enriching the family.

The one imagined by Jeremak is interesting too.

Some of my files were on the computer at the office,at least I haven't lost everything.
Usually once a year I made a backup of my files,this year I didn't! :( a number of blanks which required much work gone in a second....

Sad news...
Old files are/were useful to be modified/changed ???

Is the hard drive is physically damaged? The drive case is open or cannot/will not power up/spin?
There are tools and PC experts which can recover your data depending on the condition of the drive .

I use Paint.NET for line drawing,then GIMP for camo,when needed,and back on Paint.NET for markings and final touch ups.

Mirage III for Danish AF instead of F-104 ;
I love your Danish Mirage... that makes me remember an 1/72 Danish Draken I built in the early 1980s...

Thank you guys :D
To continue with Dassault,this time an Italian F-1 :

The Aussie people includes also engineers and they made a great derivative of the Mirage F-1; the unmanned UAV-1:

;D

:D
Thanks

That Italian F-1 :-* :-* :-*
-
Actually if I recall correctly the Dassault / French government offer to Australia was for locally produced aircraft to be exported and supported in the Asia Pacific region by Australia. So extrapolating this, Indonesian, Malaysian, Singaporean and New Zealand F1s! ;)
-
;D
Ahem, this was not joke but Secret History I think.
Similarly, as the Messerschmidt Bf-110 (winner of the Air Battle for England 1940) has proved, the best fighter has a rear post for defense, and the Mirage F-2 (or FF-2?) was a great (Secret) improvement:
-
That's nice Cristophe...but the rear pilot is exposed to the exhaust jet >:D
Some possibilities for FAA :

That's nice Cristophe...but the rear pilot is exposed to the exhaust jet >:D
Thanks! I forgot to explain that the rear canopy is made of transparent titanium, secret! ;)
-
Road not taken:
The original Harrier was demonstrated to Argentina. What if they had bought some and a squadron or two were stationed in the Malvinas after they took them? I've got an idea for armament, Sidewinders on each outboard pylon, Martin Pescador ASM's on the inboard pylons, and the guidance pod for the ASM's on the centerline hardpoint.

I'll keep in mind your suggestions guys,this when I'll start drawing this subjects. :smiley:

Sorry to respond so late. :-[
As you know I'm not good at stories,for all my MiG's I was guided by the motto '' MiG's for everybody ! ''
I don't know the history of that part of the world to make a plausible or even an interesting story.

P-36 with bubble canopy :
Wonderful! :-* This combination of bubble P-40 and P-36 (like radial P-40) enriches greatly the Curtiss family. Thanks!

P-36 with bubble canopy :
That so tempts me to do a variant of the XP-40Q with a suitable radial engine (R2600 or R2800).

Brings it half the distance to looking P-47.

That Phantom-Leopard got me thinking......
A Phantom-Flogger (as in MiG-23/27) hybrid? How would the idea sound?

Thanks guys !
John,you remember correctly,XP-40-Q was the last of his family,and certainly the most beautiful version.

Maybe some inspiration for some Antipodean F-5s...
Air Marshal Sir Frederick Scherger, RAAF chief in 1957-1961, said in an ANZUS meeting in 1958 that "We are willing to build it (Northrop F-5), we are willing to operate it, and we are very willing to supply it, if we can manufacture it, to the whole SEATO area, if they can afford to buy it and if arrangements can be made for them to get them and use them."
[url]http://www.history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v16/d19[/url] ([url]http://www.history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1958-60v16/d19[/url])
Minister Casey: Have you come to the end of the military?
Secretary Dulles: I thought we were approaching the end of that.
Minister Casey: I wonder if we would have Air Marshal Scherger have a word on that?
Air Marshal Sir Frederick Scherger:10 Perhaps I should stand to make myself seen and heard, sir.
One of our most pressing problems is to find airplanes with which we can replace our present operation infantry. If we want them and buy them in small numbers, we buy them from the manufacturing country, as we have with transports. We have bought the C–130, as with maritime antisubmarine we have bought the P2V5, and I hope we will have some P2V7. But our real difficulty is with the airplane which is now designed as the technical [tactical?] fighter. The Tactical Air Command here use extremely big airplanes; they are complex, they are sophisticated, and they are tremendously expensive both in cost and in the ground environment you need from which to operate them effectively. Both the airfield’s length and the strength of the airfield is such that in the Southeast Asian theater there are about five airfields from which they can operate. And if you add Admiral Felt’s four carriers, that makes nine. But it still leaves the opponent with a fairly easy problem, and we have been desperately seeking a small, versatile airplane which can range over the whole area and which can operate from the thousand and one 6000-foot strips left over from the last war and which still are there and from which commercial airplanes are still operating.
We believe we have found the airplane in a project which has been raised and was having a little difficulty here, the Northrop–156, which is a development of the T–38 supersonic trainer. It is a light airplane and can have a lot of sophistication in it, but we don’t want a lot of sophistication. We want it in a fairly cheap and uncomplicated form. It is the kind of thing we can build and build relatively cheaply, and it is the kind of airplane which could be used right throughout that area, where we ourselves are perhaps the most capable in the use of modern equipment. But we know that the Filipinos and Thais and the Pakistanis are having more than a little trouble in operating the F–86’s. They can fly them all right, but even they require a fairly good airfield, and their ferry range isn’t all that much. We want an airplane that can go across Australia and from the top end of Australia, across the Philippines, up to Singapore.
I found the philosophy in airplanes here is to build a single-seater airplane which costs over two million dollars a copy, which demands, if you are going to make it mobile, in-air refueling capabilities, which we can’t afford, and which requires an eight-to-eleven thousand foot runway. That kind of airplane is beyond our capabilities.
We find ourselves approaching now the time when it looks as though we are going to be priced out of being able to buy airplanes with which we can suitably arm ourselves. It is a fairly disturbing proposition, sir. And it is one which I thought perhaps, and Mr. Casey agreed, should be aired here, because it is the kind of military problem which I believe ANZUS could solve and I believe should solve. We are willing to build it, we are willing to operate it, and we are very willing to supply it, if we can manufacture it, to the whole SEATO area, if they can afford to buy it and if arrangements can be made for them to get them and use them. That is our problem, sir: How to get the airplane and where to get it—where to get it, rather than how to get it. Europe has nothing. The small NATO fighter which has been proposed to me, the F–91, is just like the Australian boomerang. It is never out of sight. It won’t go far enough. You have these F–105 airplanes, which are over $2,000,000 a copy. Even if we could afford them or build them in sufficient numbers, we couldn’t afford to operate them.
The same applies to the naval tactical fighter, the thing that carries ordinary, or shall I call them conventional bombs. I don’t know why these airplanes are so complex and so sophisticated unless perhaps it is that they are all designed around a nuclear capacity, which of course we don’t possess. We have to base whatever we have on a conventional capacity. I think that is it.
Secretary Dulles: Do you want a reply?
Mr. Irwin: Marshal Scherger brings up a very difficult type of air operation which has been under consideration by the Pentagon for some time in connection with the Northrop F–156 aircraft. I am not completely up to date as to what the current status of the studies are on it, Air Marshal. We had thought of it at one time in connection with NATO and the European countries as well as in the Far East and the Pacific. From the point of view of assisting and financing the manufacture and sale of the planes, the question really revolved around finding a market for it after you had gone all through the expense of development and production in large enough quantities to justify the expense. It was thought at one time that Germany might be interested in the N–156, and possibly Japan. Japan has decided against it and went to Grumman, I believe. Germany also appeared to have rejected it, although I am not sure whether that is completely final or not. So the problem is, if it were available, it is still on the drafting board or has not even been produced in prototype. The question really is, by the time you produce it, is it an adequate airplane for the period of 1961–1962, the period that it is coming in? There is question about it in Europe, and I think there is also considerable question, at least as far as Japan and that part of the Far East area goes. There is undoubtedly a need for a less-sophisticated aircraft that can meet the problem. Of course, you run into the question, then, as to the control of the air. It would be useless in an area when you are facing a MIG–17 or MIG–19, although obviously you aren’t going to have a big MIG–17 or MIG–19 everywhere you are going to need another airplane. It poses a great problem of financing as well as the tactical application of it. I think the Air Marshal is coming over to the Pentagon tomorrow, I understand.
Air Marshal Sir Fredrick Scherger: That is right; yes.
Ambassador Beale: Mr. Secretary, could I supplement what Air Marshal Scherger said. This is quite a serious problem for Australia. We have got a first-class aircraft industry in the country. We have a profound political and military necessity for maintaining that aircraft industry in Australia. It is in danger of languishing because we just haven’t got aircraft to make and we can’t plan ahead. A year or two ago we made a decision to buy and probably also to build to sell the F–104, but when a mission came over here,11 we were, I think, very rightly told, “Don’t be silly. Don’t build that one. It is far too sophisticated for you. If that type of aircraft has to be used in a war which you are planning to participate in, we in the United States will be there with that aircraft.” And quite rightly we would have made a great mistake to build the F–104. And we were also told at the same time, ”Why not have a look at the Northrop and one or two others?” This was on the technical level.
The minister in charge of aircraft at the time we were agonizing over this agreed. Now we are told by our air force advisers that this is the type of plane which will suit Australia’s needs. It is not yet, as you say, Mr. Irwin, quite off the drawing board. I think something like one dozen prototypes ought to be made and flown and tested before anybody can say for sure that it is the aircraft. Now what I think the Air Marshal has said is, will the United States give some consideration to making the funds available to take that airplane up to that stage, because if it proves itself I think it is pretty likely, I think it is certain that the Air Force would be advising the Australian Cabinet that “This is the airplane we want and this is the airplane we should build in Australia.” I think New Zealand might become interested in the same sort of aircraft, because it has a characteristic to suit our particular needs. And if we can’t get that one or something very like it, we just have nowhere else to turn for another one to build. We were told to build the Sabres for another year or two or three more. But in the meantime we have a real fight, we have a real professional difficulty in making up our mind as to what type of aircraft it should be.
Mr. Irwin: We have maintained at least to date going ahead on the N–156, trying to resolve this question or problem, but in large measure, it comes down to the financial problem with us, because it is financed by military assistance funds. The question is whether or not if you finance it through the ultimate to have enough prototypes to decide whether it is worth going ahead, are you going to have enough customers to justify the research and development and production of it when you have diminishing military assistance side to keep it up. [sic] They cut the program three hundred million dollars this past year, and we anticipate this next year it will be more difficult.
We have a great many calls on the program throughout the world. We are going to have the situation with Taiwan, and Taiwan has eaten into the program a great deal more than the normal expectancy would have been if there had not been the Taiwan crisis, because equipment had to go to the Chinese Nationalists because of the ammunition situation, etc. So you have a choice of not only do you have a question as to the people that actually would buy this airplane in the time frame of the early 1960’s but you have also the question of priority of the use of the military assistance funds over these few years until there would be production. So it presents a grave complication that the enthusiasm for the airplane itself has to date not been sufficient to justify final decision to go ahead with it.
Minister Casey: So far as the United States is concerned.
Mr. Irwin: The most likely customers had seemed to be Japan and Germany.
Minister Casey: If these aircraft were brought to the prototype stage, isn’t it likely that you would have potential customers in the Asian-SEATO partners in the smaller countries, and it would suit Australia and New Zealand, and there would be more generalized use than your highly-specialized aircraft now.
Mr. Irwin: That seems to be a possibility.
Minister Casey: I think the Air Marshal is seeing Mr. Quarles and Mr. Douglas tomorrow.
Mr. Irwin: I would suggest he also speak to our MAP people.
Minister Casey: I think that is worth raising.
Secretary Dulles: Yes.

For starters we got three CAC CA-30 A/B in RAAF and one in RNZAF service.
Why CA-30?
Because Macchi MB-326 never came to Australia.

That's right ;) and it fits perfectly with the design...I like it very much,and transposed into plastic would look fantastic !
-
It would indeed! :smiley:
-
Looking at this updated P-36 makes me wonder how it would go as a development of the proposed Model 75K which was to have the 1,200-1,500 hp Pratt & Whitney R-2180 Twin Hornet radial especially if one was to also add a turbosupercharger (say from the B-17).

Oh. I do like that -109 :-*

Those last two are beautiful. To go with them, how about a de-mil'd Spitfire Mk.21 with contra-props and the windscreen and canopy from the "Speed Spitfire" of just before WW II? It could be in the markings of an English club

Love your Bf 109 Rennen :smiley:

The F-5 is perfect for this treatment and you've got a great sense of what the most eye-catching scheme for it might be.
Very well done!

Those are some very nice profiles indeed and we share the same opinion on the long-forgotten Vanguard.
Your rendering of that desert scheme is especially nice.

Maybe some other users: Sweden (obvious since it was planned), RAAF, Dutch? Maybe also a floatplane version?
