Lovely set, fixed wing t'nado is my fave, but all very nice indeed. Maybe you should apply to Gen. Dynamics for a job?   8)
If I don't plan it, it can't go wrong!

If it's great, I did it. If it's naff, I found it.

Well, not combat aircraft but they do own Gulfstream Aerospace.  Not bad for what started as the holding company for Electric Boat.

Your Aerodrome gives impression of major R&D and flight test center !
Like them all for both design and appropriate color scheme on each one  :)

Single engine Mig-29/ Halfcrum/ Mig-14.5 - I call it the Smig



ProwlerHog AWACS:

When I looked at it with its fuel tanks on I was tempted to do a floatplane A-10, but alas I got no floats in the stash.

Prowling Growling Mighty Duck




Norwegian Grippen with CFTs launching a Joint Strike missile:

With a bit more shaping, that last one might match this Unmanned version I drew ages ago:

Someone got built by the Prowler bug!!

Really great design. The Smig is sharp. My hats off, its tough to convert a double engine to a single when they have that big tunnel between the Nacelles (like Flanker, Tomcat) much easier when they look like a box (Foxbat, Eagle)

CFTS on the Gripen are subtle, but very sexy  :)

Nice work on that fractal camo!

I really like what you're doing with that re-purposed bullet train now a plane. Will look forward to seeing more on this one. It looks every bit a winner already!

Prowler bug... hmmmm... put a prowler cockpit on a super hornet. Would have to widen the fuselage, something to mull over. Thanks for the idea :)

Settled for an ASW role for the hind and trying to decide a canopy style:


And now for my most ambitious build yet - a scratch-build 1/144 X-02 Wyvern from the Ace Combat games. This is going to be a long term thing, I don't care if it takes years but it been on my list for a while and it'll be a test of my skills.

Compared to Flanker:

Some Japanese super modeler has probably done this already, but I don't care I want one for myself. Although if a kit exists it's probably hiding in the Japanese internet, extremely rare and ludicrously expensive.

Thats a winner! would love to see it.

I have been wanting to mount the front of an F-14 on a Super Hornet forever, hoping to get to it some day.

I like the right better.  :) I think it looks more russian. But the left looks more futuristic. Your call

For ASW Hind, how about "reverting" to a Hind-A cockpit and canopy?

I like the design on the right as well. Reminds me of the old Boeing cockpits which had the "eyebrow" windows.

I would say the right one also, it just looks more Russiany.
That and I like the small low cheek window that juts out farther forward than the rest.
Great job all around though 👍

So would that be a Catbug?:


Anyway Prowlerbug:


Alternate widening - going to be more of a su-34:
