Wonderful race-birds, very beautiful!

elmayerle · « **Reply #3 on:** June 02, 2017, 07:48:20 AM »

Beautiful! Perhaps an advanced G.55C with leading edge radiators? Do the same with a G.59 but replace the Merlin with a Griffon?

AXOR · « **Reply #4 on:** June 05, 2017, 12:02:37 AM »

Thanks!
elmayerle,I'll think about it.
Now we have the first airplane ready to race :

Tophe · « **Reply #5 on:** June 05, 2017, 12:36:44 AM »

One good sugestion from Greg,Do-335 race version with Jumo 222 engines.

CiTrus90 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 15, 2017, 12:36:15 AM »

Great drawings, all of them, but maaan! 12/10 for the IMAM

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #16 on:** June 15, 2017, 01:39:15 AM »

How about Nakajima B5N single seat race version?

jcf · « **Reply #20 on:** June 16, 2017, 02:00:46 AM »

Very nice. :)

Perhaps a racer-ized Mitsubishi Ki-15-I as competition?,
or perhaps the Ki-15-II with the 14-cylinder engine?

andonio64 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 16, 2017, 02:25:59 AM »

Beautiful Axor, I love it, it looks very gutsy!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #22 on:** June 16, 2017, 07:00:40 AM »

Looks like a million bucks!

Brian da Basher

elmayerle · « **Reply #23 on:** June 16, 2017, 07:12:01 AM »

How about a racing version of one of the fully streamlined Ki-46 variants, perhaps with larger/more powerful engines?

Vuk · « **Reply #24 on:** June 16, 2017, 07:32:13 PM »

Axor, I don't know where our buddy Clave is right now, but he'll better be watching what is going on in his rear view mirrors...

AXOR · « **Reply #25 on:** June 16, 2017, 11:10:13 PM »

Thanks guys,I will keep in mind your suggestions.

Another one suitable for racing,IL-10...

AXOR · « **Reply #30 on:** June 19, 2017, 05:51:14 AM »

I forgot about my Fiat G-55 competizione.
A small tribute to one of the most famous football/soccer teams in the world, ''la Vecchia Signora''.

CiTrus90 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 20, 2017, 05:22:51 PM »

The Ilyushin Il-10 is one of those aircraft I'd never even considered for a racer, but it came out surprisingly well!! Nice out of the box thinking :)

AXOR · « **Reply #37 on:** June 21, 2017, 12:27:50 AM »

Thaks CiTrus90 :)

Caudron C 500,a mix between C 450,561 and 710 .

Guys,I'm glad you like it . :)
For today we have a midget.

elmayerle · « **Reply #44 on:** June 23, 2017, 12:08:33 AM »

Imagine the Grenville Brothers "massaging" an I-16. The result would be speedy but I suspect only a few pilots could handle it.

Excellent work... :)... but wrong team

Now, how about to redeem yourself with MiG-3 in CSKA Moscow colors?

AXOR · « **Reply #47 on:** June 23, 2017, 08:58:23 PM »

Thanks.
Vuk,for the moment I haven't drawn the line art for MiG-3 but it's in plan.
Still,for my redemption I'll do some of the army's teams : Steaua,CSKA Sofia,Honved,Legia,Dukla...Partizani Tirane...

I forgot someone? ... ~~Crvena zvezda~~ ? aaah Partizan Belgrade

AXOR · « **Reply #48 on:** June 24, 2017, 12:48:52 AM »

Another great idea from Greg, Ta -155 with Jumo 222.

Nice!! Especially with the new SEM Models kit of the Ro-58 being available from Italy (either directly from them, from them on eBay, or through Aviation Megastore).
