Here are some of my aviation, most of these are just aircraft that I've rearranged in ways I thought were interesting, no particular reasoning behind them.
Skywarrior VIP:

Cargo seaplane - inspired by the convair tradewind:

Some sort of seaplane from the remnants (had to recast a part that I ruined in my first attempt at the cargo seaplane)
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/fb1_zpscada275a.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/fb1_zpscada275a.jpg.html)

Prowler VTOL - originally since I used the prowlers wings on the phantoms, I was just going to do a simple wing swap, but then I realized that if I flipped the wings it sort of looks like the dropship from starcraft 2:
Flight mode:

Outstanding!
1/700 or 1/350?
-
Wow!!! Super whiffing!! The Tradwind and Kamov Tillt rotor are inspiring!!! :D :D
-
So many great designs! VERY cool! 8)
-
Nice stuff, Poly! I especially like the one with the lengthened wings and 4 jets!
Well done!

Very cool ideas!
Nicely done.

Outstanding!
1/700 or 1/350?
Both actually, the seaplanes, trader and kamov are 700 and the rest are 350.
Here my latest quick build, a 1/350 backwards wing B-25.
I bought a pack of ten a few years ago and through various moves and cleanups I only have this one left. I tried a rudimentary paint job with one of those silver markers, but it didn't turn out so well.

^ Oh my..... :-*
-
There are all fantastic! I have several boxes of Trumpeter 1/350 planes and only vague wiffing ideas. The A-3 Skywarrior variants are ll great and that B-25 reminds me of this book cover:
(http://modelingmadness.com/scott/books/sp/britsp.jpg)
-
Reminds me of the 'Rutanised' B-17G you can see on the web. Nice job :)
-
That book cover is where I got the idea to put the vertical stabilizers on the ends of the wings and the pusher props from Sky Crawlers.
Anyway here are my latest builds.
2 1/700 f-15 concepts.
one is a combination of the silent eagle - conformal weapon bays (although you cant really see them) and canted tail fins - and the f-15 active - canards and thrust vectoring (the real active has 3d thrust vectoring, but I like the look of f-22 style 2d thrust vectoring.
And the other one is based on a tailless f-15.

1/700 f-4 with tomcat wings - added overwing ferry tanks because I think they look nice:

1/700 Tilt-rotor starlifter:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/starsprey_zpsd297e7dc.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/starsprey_zpsd297e7dc.jpg.html)
1/350 s-3 viking seaplane:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/sea-3_zps43f9fec8.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/sea-3_zps43f9fec8.jpg.html)
Now that I look at the picture, those engines are crooked, I'll fix that later.

C-1 Trader as a VTOL COD:
I love this twin-boomer! :-* :-*
-
:icon_music: "Keeps getting better!" :icon_music:
-
I need to save this thread its so full of ideas!
-
That tilt-rotor Starlifter is a beast. Those rotors would be gigantic.
-
WOW - do you have a good eye for configuration changes or what :)
I am learning from these.
How you ever saw a seaplane lurking within the S-3 is brilliance :o

I still have another starlifter, which I will make as a Quad rotor.

My thought process is a little strange sometimes. Sometimes I'll get carried away with a theme (when I came up with the sea viking I was on a seaplane theme), sometimes a design idea will pop into my head out of nowhere and other times I'll see something in something. For example I turned my sea viking upside down and got this idea( probably needs some scaleoraming and wing smallening):

I like your thinking.

I like your thinking.
and his doing is even better!
I really dig the Starlifter,too.

After watching Yukikaze for the nth time and having a surplus of hornets:

Just remembered that I wanted to put the forward canards on top, behind the cockpit, D'oh. Still looks good the way it is though.

I like your four-engine Hawkeye. Have you considered applying that same concept to the C-2 Greyhound? :)
-
Some neat ideas. Nice work
-
Brilliant stuff! :) Really like the Yukikaze-Hornet!
-
Love that 4 engined stretched Hawkeye! :)
The VTOLs look a bit like Grumman Model 698:

Some 1/350 madness:
They say "Madness is closed to Genius"... According to me, these models of yours are more genious than mad... ;)
-
funny how the small scale seems to open up possibilities!
lovely inspiration here

Actually I wanted to stretch a c-2 in the first place, but it has a fat butt - so there would be a lot of work involed:

Su-25 based attack jet (based on the obscure Avenger II from Macross) with a full carpet bombing load of SDBs. I wish they made a 2 seater su-25 in 1/144 or 1/72, I really want to build a bigger one of these:

was that MiG at all inspired by Red Alert 2?
As a matter of fact it was, I was just going to do a straight Red alert version but then I placed the mig kit next to my f16xl and the idea just clicked.
1/144 scale?
Yep, its my new favourite scale

Originally this was just supposed to be a tail-less, f-22 nozzled f-15, but I got a little carried away with it.

Nice new ones :-*

Absolutely amazing work, love'em all! :icon_alabanza:
-
Nice designs you've got there :)
Good job !

That Tornado ADV+ looks great and reminds me of a version that appeared in the November One series of technothrillers that came out some time (long some time) back. Beautiful work!
-
All brilliant builds, every one of 'em, but the Berknet is possibly the best I've ever seen. Beautiful and believable. :)

From super-duper small scale (1/350 & 1/700) to another small scale (1/144), holy crap can't imagine what greatness you could make in larger scales👍

Thanks all :).
Some updates
Stealth fighter - added some pods and calling it done.
the pods are called LO-FAT pods (Low Observable - Fuel and Armament Tactical). Fuel on the top half, weapons bay on the bottom capable of carrying 3 Aim120s or equivalent sized bombs or missiles (seen here with 1 aim120 and 4 small diameter bombs in each pod).

Wow! I still love what you create/invent... ;)
-
Polygon,
I would like to know more about how you created your LO-FAT Pods. They are quite interesting.
Yourj Hornado VG-VTOL Harrier/Tornado combination is a very nice concept. I hope we will see more WIP images of this as you continue the project.
So what is the name of that Sukhoi-F-16XL going to be? :)

Polygon,

Do you mean how I got the idea or how did I build them?
Yourj Hornado VG-VTOL Harrier/Tornado combination is a very nice concept. I hope we will see more WIP images of this as you continue the project.
I don't usually take that many wip pics, but if anyone's interested I could take some more during my next projects. As for the Harnado, its almost finished and there are no wip pics :(.
So what is the name of that Sukhoi-F-16XL going to be? :)
I've got it narrowed down to a few names, but you'll have to wait till its finished before I settle on one, should be in a few days.

Harnado Mk.II finished:

Compared to the Mk.I:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/3BF56293-3694-4113-950A-18F476780865_zpswgi2kneq.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/3BF56293-3694-4113-950A-18F476780865_zpswgi2kneq.jpg.html)
Mk.I underside:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/7A7A5B4E-4400-4DBB-B818-A9E14E5964D2_zpsmpthtbb4.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/7A7A5B4E-4400-4DBB-B818-A9E14E5964D2_zpsmpthtbb4.jpg.html)
Its kinda ugly, but I didn't have a spare harrier or want to do much work to the bottom, also the landing gear outriggers are mounted on the fuel tanks.
Mk.II underside:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/5F541DFA-377C-4886-A413-17D0DED03F6F_zpsppie1stj.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/5F541DFA-377C-4886-A413-17D0DED03F6F_zpsppie1stj.jpg.html)
Muuuch better looking using an actual harrier underside and nozzles.
I personally like the look of the intakes of the Mk.I, but the overall look of the Mk.II (nozzles, gear) looks way better. Perhaps a Mk.III will combine the Mk.II with the Mk.Is intake,reinstate the ecm stinger, add some conformal fuel tanks and have some storm shadows hanging off the wings.
Modified F-16 side project:

Official name "Strike Falcon", however it is better known by its crews as the "Mighty Duck" because of its duck nose and impressive performance on a single engine.

Super cool!!! 8) 8) 8)
-
I love this Mighty Duck, thanks! :-*
-
Great parts integrations on all :-*
Harnados look deserty and air-to-ground lethal.
Modified F-16 side project looks don't mess with me air-to-air lethal. Inspired to build similar.
Strike Falcon might be F-111 follow on !
-
Modified F-16 looks Russian! :icon_surprised: :)

The Harnado Mk.II is truly inspiring. Great work.

That's some truly marvelous fractal camo!
Bravo!!!

Time for some updates
Recently I decided to go back to my tiny roots and finish off a few 1/350 builds:
Original prototype swept wing hornet, more of a flanker feel:

AESA radar AWACS. Could have put that pod on a regular hawkeye, but thats not how I roll.

Greyhound as mini Airbus A400, the A200(or maybe closer to A150):

I would like to know more about how you created your LO-FAT Pods. They are quite interesting.
I'm not great at explaining, but here goes:

Measure what kind of munitions you want - create an open box with said dimensions - attach box to styrene skeleton - wrap sheet styrene around the flat sides, putty for the curves using the skeleton as a shaping guide - add sheet styrene with triangles cut out on the bottom - PSR
Until next time :icon_beer:

Cool, now if you could just convince BAe to build the Harnado we could rule the world, again. brilliant.
-
I really like the sharky-looking purple & black one.

Thank you for the WIP images of your LO FAT weapons pods, really neat idea and happy to know a little bit more about how you put it together.
The Mighty Duck F-16 is quite striking with the side by side seating arrangement. Wonder how the F-111 cockpit would fit into that F-16?

^^^^^
I love this.
This thread is full of interesting ideas. :)

Wonder how the F-111 cockpit would fit into that F-16?
I actually did want to use an f-111 cockpit, but I din't have any in the stash. I think preliminary measurements showed it would fit quite well. Anyhow there is space for 2 pilots because I used the back end of an A-6 cockpit.
Mighty duck getting longer legs:

This is one of the main reasons I don't adhere to specific real world paint schemes - colour matching. I really want this to be a jasdf bird but I'm not satisfied with the way the light blue came out, it just doesnt look right. Kit paint guides arent much help either. I'm gonna have to strip it and try again.

Notes on a future version
-work on the cockpit shape
-distended center fuel tank like the EE Lightening instead of drop tanks
-double nosewheel

Looks better especially the light blue. Still not 100% satisfied though, but I don't wanna strip and repaint it a 4th time so I will chalk it up as a learning experience and move on.

Awesome stuff as usual. I love your bashes, I think they are brilliant.
I'm a big fan of researching colors but switching them if they don't look right to your eye. I think you should trust what you see, and I think that leads to a more satisfying build

I really enjoyed your Mighty Duck build. Or as written in Latin: Potens Anatis
-
Go, go, Mighty Duck! 8) Looks great! :)

Cheers guys!
Potens Anatis
Official squadron motto
Go, go, Mighty Duck!
Unofficial motto pilots say during takeoff :)
F-2xl coming along. One of the problems with this camo scheme is lighting, seriously almost every pic of the real one is slightly different. But anyway now that I've applied the decals and finished painting and look at it more and more, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out.
All thats left is to make some CFTs, they'll be a pain to make but totally worth it.

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)

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

EB or BIW would be my dream but Green Card would be the issue, then again with my wife's career who knows where I could end up.

interesting hybrids !

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 :)

This one is my favourite, is this a modified F-16XL? Great! :-*

Someone got built by the Prowler bug!!
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:
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/07F02936-32E6-4E57-8F27-46452E2A66DA_zpsut7nxni9.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/07F02936-32E6-4E57-8F27-46452E2A66DA_zpsut7nxni9.jpg.html)
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.
(http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums/y390/polygon88/C2E4484C-AE43-4566-A866-7F28A54CE6EC_zpscvhtiz8z.jpg) (http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/polygon88/media/C2E4484C-AE43-4566-A866-7F28A54CE6EC_zpscvhtiz8z.jpg.html)

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.

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

I see you have interneted before! ;D
-
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 👍
-
I prefer the left one, with big Windows (like big eyes of a bird, with more personality)... :-*

intersting!! I Like both variants :)

Can't pick a favorite either. Certainly interesting !

was that MiG at all inspired by Red Alert 2?
As a matter of fact it was, I was just going to do a straight Red alert version but then I placed the mig kit next to my f16xl and the idea just clicked.
1/144 scale?
Yep, its my new favourite scale

Originally this was just supposed to be a tail-less, f-22 nozzled f-15, but I got a little carried away with it.
Wow all these are amazing, considering they are only 1/144 scale!
I guess its also an affordable form of prototyping a given design in a larger scale!
P.S. Your 'stretched' Tornado ADV somewhat gives me the impression of the Panavia consortiums attempt to mimic General Dynamics F/B-111H! Nice!!

There's alot of bleed through under the masking tape because I wasn't familiar with using a propellant can.

Love the Prowlerbug! Reminds me there is a story about US expeditionary / landbased EW capability, post retirement of the USMCs Prowlers and their decision not to go for Growlers, in the USNI website.

Maybe you could patent your concept and then show them the model ;)
-
Beautiful concepts, all!! I do believe the flatbed proposals had a fairing between the permanent portion of the fuselage and the first freight item; that would make a lot of sense with regard to reducing overall drag.

They wouldn't know a good idea if it hit them in the head. And I did try, I got a binder full of my ideas, went to their office and started smacking people on the head. Security has my picture and I'm not allowed back. ;D
Beautiful concepts, all!! I do believe the flatbed proposals had a fairing between the permanent portion of the fuselage and the first freight item; that would make a lot of sense with regard to reducing overall drag.
Ah. I knew I forgot something. I think that's one of the drawbacks of the flatbed concept, it's a bit inflexible to always have to make sure there's a fairing available for any given payload.
Finally finished, some kind of 50's style carrier based fighter/bomber. From some 1/144 trumpeter/monogram F-86's, originally I didn't really know what I was going to do with this kit but a pair was only about $3, so I couldn't resist and got a few boxes.

I really like the JASDF FS-X! Looking forward to seeing that one finished. All of your stuff is really great looking!
-
That F-16+18 is beyond awesome, can't wait to see it finished.
-
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.

:)
-
beautiful hybrids !
-
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.

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.

Great builds. I like the updated F-2A.

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.
-
Just a (hopefully) quick build that has been in the cards for a while. My take on a navalized F-15, I extended the wings so that the outboard pylons would be inboard of the wing-fold.

Just as wide as a super hornet, but slightly longer:

This is the EW Growler version. Features extra doo-dads in the tail and extra EW avionics are carried in the front half of the CFTs like one of the original concepts for the original f-15s

This painting is so complicated/great it deserves a gold medal for the painter (scale 1 or even more: reduced scale)... :-*

I gave it a Tornado style refueling probe, but as I was painting it I thought I should have gone with a Hornet style probe, bit too late to change anything though.

:)
-
Beautiful!! With your permission, I'd like to adapt this scheme for a 1/72 navalized F-15 model.
I'd probably have(will, on mine) put the refueling probe on the other side where I could plumb it in to the existing plumbing for the boom receptacle, but that's just me.

Just superb!!! 8) 8)

Sure, here's the recipe if you need it: Tamiya paints XF-8 Flat Blue, XF-23 Light Blue, XF-66 Light Grey and white.
I put the probe on the right for personal reasons, as I am right side dominant, if(HUGE if) I were in the cockpit I would want the probe on the right side.
