Profiling by JP Vieira - New profiles 2017

[JP Vieira]

I'm playing catch-up with this thread but had to chime in: those V-22 variants are just amazing! I'm saving your profiles to use as 1) a possible color scheme for my USCG V-22 (and the hull mod may even make it onto my build, still thinking that one through) and 2) the Sky Crane V-22 concept, I think I can take a crack at making one of those, and I really liked the civilian color scheme, though a USMC marked sky crane is another possibility. 

Too many excellent ideas in one location! Not enough superlatives in my vocabulary.

Thank. It would be great to see them in plastic

I've Ben toying with the idea of a He-111 refuelling a Me-109 for a while - a way to overcome the '109s  range problem in the BoB maybe.  Would be great to see your rendition of this...

I concur GTX!!
Although, I think the Luftwaffe might have needed all the He 111's they could get as front-line medium bombers during the Battle of Britain - unless they were to utilise the earlier long-nose He 111E-3 and D-1's or what about the number of Junkers Ju 86's?

Interesting thread.  This from M.A.D. makes sense.
P.S. Any chance of some profiles of the likes of Short Sterling, early B-17D/E/F and B-24D/E's being utilised as tankers, as newer and more powerful designs and variants entered front-line service - i.e. Halifax, Lancaster, B-17F/G's and B-24J's etc..........(in both RAF and USAAF colours and markings
1 > what armament is retained, if any
2 > C-46 or C-47 could be tankers

[JP Vieira]

Many thanks for all the comments and suggestions.
All the suggestions are great and will be put definitely on the To Do List.

This version of the He-111 and/or the Junkers Ju-86 and even older transport/bomber types could be great basis for tanker types

The older bomber as tankers does makes sense.
I think they shold retain at least some type of defensive armament; the usual tail torret can also serve as a post for the refueller.
C-46 and C-47 can became also tankers (as older trasnport types also)
Thanks

And now for something different...

As it is known, the successful WWII P-51 Mustang can trace back its design to the 1933’s North American P-33 Bronco.
The P-33 Bronco was a very successful aircraft and was also exported to some countries
Here is a profile in USAAC colors

[Tophe]

Funny mix of old spats and canopy-less cockpit with the ventral scoop of the Mustang... (For realists, the Consolidated XP-33 was a derivative of the YP-25 but I prefer your World JP...)

[GTX_Admin]

Mmmm...just don't let Brian see it!

[Empty Handed]

The P-33 is outstanding!!!

[Doom!]

I really like this one a lot! 

[Eínon]

I like it! Simple, but it looks very agile!

[Rafael]

JP, you keep me marveled with your Mustang lineages. this is just.... outstanding

[JP Vieira]

Many thanks for all your comments and support! :)

Hello
The Supermarine Sparrow was a low-wing monoplane with fixed landing gear that entered service with the RAF in 1933.
This aircraft was powered by the RR kestrel engine and was also exported to some of the UK allies.
It is also famous as the "father" of the Spitfire that evolved directly from this 1933 design.

Oh, that's quite the tasty design.  It almost undoubtedly uses a Curtiss Conqueror V-12 and I suspect the wing planform would resemble that of the BT-9 or other T-6 predecessors.  I can see Wright Field ordering a one-off with a Kesterl engine for comparison purposes.

[apophenia]

Love the P-33 Bronco and Supermarine Sparrow -- both the concept and the execution. Nice!

[Tophe]

Oh, I wondered why the North American OV-10 has been called Bronco instead of Bronco II? Well, I know the explanation I think: the OV-10 did not exist, only the P-33: only Bronco in the World! (in this World, ahem...)

The wing of this one has a shape something between the BT-6 and the latter P-51.
The P-33 also used the RR Kestrel (for some export countries)

Of course they both existed; the OV-10 was the Bronco II

I can but gape in absolute awe at your astonishing talent and incredible design sense in adding those lovely spats to your latest profiles, Mr Vieira!

Spats are known to be the ultimate in sophisticated aerodynamics!

Thank you!!!

That P-33?  I want it.
