What Volkodav said!

I wish someone would make a kit of the p.187.

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Belated congratulations! :-*
My favorite one in this batch is the red one with propeller. What is this ? An Italian racer? The picture name seems b19a/txee1awgim39i7v6g.jpg and is not very clear for me, or macchi M.39? I have not checked yet, please tell us... ;)

Sorry if I get back to you so late Tophe, I hadn't seen your question before: that aircraft is the CMASA CS.15, here some more infos about it https://oldmachinepress.com/2014/07/23/fiat-as-8-engine-and-cmasa-cs-15-racer/

Here's some cross-posting from SP and other things I'd not uploaded yet.

Daimler-Benz Jäger:


Alternative Su-30, Luftwaffe Tigermeet style:


A P-72 converted into a Reno racer:


Hope you like them, cheers!

I'd never seen the Ford 15P before! Are the wings swept back? I googled it and the only top view I found was of Gabriel Stern's 1/72 scratchbuit model, but from the pictures of the real plane and your drawing, they don't seem to have much of a sweep.

I used a 3 view uploaded on the Secret Projects Forum as a basis.
I've seen the model you're talking about, with the swept wings, but once I looked at the pictures of the real aircraft I realized the wings were simply not swept back at all. I honestly don't know why he built his model that way.

It was a whif? ???

To be fair, I don't think so.
There was a degree of research done, standing by what he wrote at the end of the thread:

I would like to thank Mike Fletcher and Jim Schubert for their help with this project.

I think it's just a mistake, pretty much like I did with the air intakes on the engine compartment on my model (4 instead of 6, d'oh!).

Thanks for the clarification. It does look more 30's like with the straight wings. I know Gabriel Stern tries to be accurate (even when building aircraft that never flew) so I'd chalk this to a reference error on his part. Still looks good, just not the same as the real design.

Some more today ;)



I've taken a look at the last posts in the request thread and did a couple of quick ones:

-for Artoor_K, it's not a F-4D, but I hope it can help


-for arc3371


And mad props to who can get what "country" this Gripen comes from ;)


Cheers!

Really liked the Phantom (which area always phreakishly phantastic to me, being a St. Louis native) and the Gripen.  Is it me, or does the Gripen look a bit like the Convair model 200?

It's not you - there is a definite resemblance, though the Model 200 did have lift engines:





In fact, if you wanted to do a VTOL Gripen, you would probably get something akin to the Model 200...though you might want to borrow some sub-scale F-14 intakes.

Funny that.  I see the Model 200s intakes as being somewhat more derivative of the NA Vigilante's intakes.  Have to wonder whether the Convair guys ever considered a shaft-driven lift fan in front, as opposed to the lift engines.  Perhaps at that time it may not have been possible.  Cool design.  It's on my rendering/illustration list.

Vigilante intakes would probably work as well.  Of course, now you have me thinking of a VTOL Vigilante with multiple lift engines... :-\

Feel sure those paintings were in aviation magazines (Air Progress?) of the 1960s.
