The stealth missile based on the spare SR-71 fuselage parts is sweet!  What scale was that SR-71?

The donor carcass can also can make a basis for a decent looking supersonic ASM


Indeed.  They look very nice.

So much configuration and color scheme creativity.
I'z still marveling at F-86, A-6/A10 and A-6/F-18 builds. :-*
Now B-25 variants and external cargo transport (novel).  You have a keen kitbashing eye.

1/700

No, just hauling it back home

Jasdf FS-X:


Cargo Bear:


Bullet train QTR almost finished:


Was a bit warm today so I had the fan running :P:


After the QTR is finished I'm going to redirect most of my effort to the floaty GB.

Gorgeous work.  That cargo Bear looks very close to the Douglas C-132 effort.  I've got a small-scale DC-8 I'm tempted to use as the upper lobe of a C-132, may get a small-scale Bear to donate propellers.

All cool and creative - really. :)
Like to use some of your concepts when I get back to new builds.

Huh, that's funny. I know about the c-132 and even looked at pictures of it about a week before I started the cargo bear, but the entire time I was building it I never made that connection.

Like to use some of your concepts when I get back to new builds.

I'd like to see that :)

Bullet train QTR finished enough, I wanted to wrap it up so I can shift focus to the Floaty Gb




A preliminary concept which may end up on a Floaty Gb build.
AEW/AWACs for stovl carriers: the EH-347 compound helicopter, based on the BV-347

It's no E-2 but it's better than a helicopter.
Features:
AESA radar on front, back and sides (mounted on sponsons)
Folding rotors & wingtips
More powerful engines
Retractable gear

Now to get cracking at those ships.

Really like the F-2 and VSTOL.

The Su-ification of the Hornet (Platybug?), however, first reminded me of an "eggplane", but then I realized it's the perfect modern incarnation of F7U Cutlass (which, admittedly, looks like an eggplane). ;D So it has a charm of its own too.
