Like this one...?

Nope. That's waaay better than what I had in mind  ;D  Love the IFR and Sea Lightnings too!

Love it, the flying boat version would have plenty of volume for fuel too.  Maybe an amphibious version would become the ultimate production long range strike fighter variant.

Hello
And somewhere over the Pacific ...



There was also some new equipment developed for the amphibious Super Lightnings, such as conformal fuel tanks

Looks great. Like your air refuel scene graphic, very realistic.

Hello
The Grumman F-17 Wildcat was a single seat version of the Tomcat.



Oh very nice!!
Any chance of you incorporating a similar single-seat cockpit arrangement for a WhatIf McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom 2000???

Best regards

Looks more plausible than Focke-Wulf's Fw-190TL design with a very simple turboject engine.

Thanks to all for your comments.
As I said, I am very busy learning a lot of new technicques and hadn't had much tiem to anything else.
This one was a rather older profile still not published; glad you enjoy it.
Best regards

PS: I have also made a small aviation art portfolio (.pdf) that you can view and download at my website at http://ilustro.webs.com/apps/documents/

It also has some of my what-if works there

I'm going with a simpler approach to that, going back to the original flat Phantom II canopy and making the aft cockpit into a covered electronics bay much as is done with the single-seat F-15 variants.  It's not perfect, but it's easily do-able, especially if crossed with the blown, frameless windscreen fitted to some late-model F-4s.

Hello
taking a break from my learning and by popular demand, here is a single seat Phantom.
Best regards to all

Beautiful Phantom.  What canopy did you use for the Wildcat and single-seat Phantom, they do look to be the same canopy and windscreen.

Thank you; yes, it is the same canopy/windscreen. It was created "from scratch" to fit the Wildcat/Tomcat fuselage as a single seater... and I think it looks great also on the Phantom ;)

Ah, thank you.  I was just wondering what I'd need to model this in 1/72.  I'll admit to being tempted to try a "Silent Wildcat" variation to go with my "Silent Tomcat"
