Cool!

Thank you all for your comments.

The AF-12 was exported to some countries, among them Argentina.
The Argentinian aircraft were latter upgraded to turboprop engines

wonderful twin-boomer, thanks!

I really like your AF-12 but that updated Danish Starfighter is hot! :)

Better than the Lockheed Lancer IMHO.

Agreed. And more acheivable too ... in both reality and in plastic.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1032 on:** June 10, 2013, 11:54:23 PM »

Thank you all.
It would look great in plastic: if someone want to make it ....

Continuing with my 3D learning, here is a Clay render test shot: just trying some texturing

Good work!

Beautiful!! That doesn't look that far off some of the PD studies that led to the V280.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1037 on:** June 12, 2013, 01:44:18 AM »

Thank you for the comments.
I am planning to give it some differente camos (some of them will be the variations of the Swedish Splnter: the Winter, Desert and Tropical one that i have used before on other aircraft).

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1038 on:** June 17, 2013, 04:36:39 AM »

Hello
Here are some test shots of camo textures (this is one the camos I will try on this aircraft: The Tropical Splinter)

apophenia · « **Reply #1039 on:** June 17, 2013, 08:12:56 AM »

Love the Tropical Splinter! Maybe some UN markings too?

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1040 on:** June 19, 2013, 02:32:25 AM »

Thanks for the comments.
I made a mistake: sorry.
This is not the tropical Splinter: its the Mediterranean Splinter (The Tropical Splinter has a green base colour, with two more shades of green and a small part of brown)
Apophenia: UN markings are a good idea: Thank you.
Here are some more test shots

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #1041 on:** June 19, 2013, 02:39:25 AM »

Looking good.

Just thinking whilst looking at the pics (dangerous I know), but I wonder...make fuselage, wings etc out of carbon fibre, use something such as GE H80 or PT6 engines maybe forgo any sort of crossover shaft (maybe use an electrical crossover as a limited backup), add in some good software...

As a thought, this might look even more practical if you were to move the engines themselves to the top of the fuselage as fixed mounts and then simply have small 'snub' rotating units at the tips (with electric motors doing the actual rotor/prop driving). Then there would definitely be no need for crossover shafts as all would be electric.

Now, make it a cargo UAV and we can start talking about me putting money on the table to start a production program...

father ennis · « **Reply #1042 on:** June 19, 2013, 08:43:01 AM »

I think this is an incredible design... !!!!!!! I would.like to see you model this in the real world. It looks to be a fairly simple build. Keep up the good work ,my friend.

Kerick · « **Reply #1043 on:** June 19, 2013, 10:29:27 AM »

Oh Lord, I see another project on the list! This must be built!
Interesting idea of putting the engines on the fuselage and run a shaft out to each wing tip. Possibilities.....

Thank you Greg for those very interesting ideas: something to add to future "evolutions" of this drawing

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1045 on:** June 25, 2013, 05:47:30 PM »

I too would like to see it in the "real" world.
Perhaps when I can afford a good 3D printer ...

In 1/72 or 1/48 that's probably around $50 at Shapeways, if you design your model properly.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1047 on:** June 29, 2013, 04:00:57 AM »

Thank you for the tip.
I might try it in the near future :)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1048 on:** June 30, 2013, 06:40:08 PM »

Hello
Here is the Supermarine Shrike (AKA JetFire), a jet conversion of the Spitfire

perttime · « **Reply #1049 on:** June 30, 2013, 06:47:01 PM »

The Shrike looks good.
I'm wondering about a couple of things. Maybe they would have used the fin and rudder from a later model? If I'm seeing the jet exhaust correctly, isn't it pretty small? ... or maybe there is more than one, side by side?
