Pleasant turbojet-Spitfire, thanks

IS there a rocket version (without air-intake) with sharp nose?

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?

Thank you.
The Shrike is a conversion of MK.V; latr models can also be converted.
The exhaust is a little small; it is only one

Yes, there is a rocket version; I might find an image of it, but I think it will take some time to find it

Tophe · « **Reply #1053 on:** July 03, 2013, 11:46:11 AM »

Thanks JP. Take your time, there is no hurry. And if then I don't clap my hands, the cause might be holidays rather than dislike

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1054 on:** July 03, 2013, 11:17:58 PM »

OK, thanks
For now some more texturised (not all yet) OV-65

Tophe · « **Reply #1055 on:** July 06, 2013, 12:29:23 AM »

Your 3D-twin-boomer is getting better and better...

I love Jetfire. Can you try with Spitfire's later tail fins?

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1057 on:** July 07, 2013, 04:44:51 PM »

Thanks for the comments

Perhaps, but not in the near future; the 3D program takes almost all of my free time

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1059 on:** July 07, 2013, 05:39:44 PM »

Almost done...

Tophe · « **Reply #1060 on:** July 07, 2013, 06:05:22 PM »

With those wheels it seems perfect

, what remains to be done?

Thanks Tophe; some little details, but is prety much done

With a heat wave here in Portugal (with temperatures reaching 40ºC), and watching some tv footage of Ka-32 firefighters, I decide to make a firefighting version of the OV-65
Beside water-bomber, it is also used as surveilance and for transporting fire-fighter teams

elmayerle · « **Reply #1063 on:** July 08, 2013, 03:27:19 AM »

Just a thought, add a fuselage water tank with aft dump (like a mini-MAFFS (Military Airborne Fire FIghting System) as fit to Air Guard C-130's seconded to support the USFS) and use a deployable-from-hover pump system like Aero Union fits to Black Hawks in making fire-fighting Firehawks. You'd get better control of water placement plus faster reloading.

Love the OV-65! More 3D! :)

That is a great idea.
However the OV-65 intends to be a very simple, rugged aircraft; it is intended to be multi-task with simple adaptations and so a water-bucket system adjusts better to that idea.
Thank you for the suggestion

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1066 on:** July 15, 2013, 05:41:27 AM »

And a new version of the OV-65: AEW

apophenia · « **Reply #1067 on:** July 16, 2013, 10:28:54 AM »

Very nice! Like the Erieye-style radar mount :)

finsrin · « **Reply #1068 on:** July 16, 2013, 10:38:08 AM »

You have designed this in such a correct way. Super job :)
If offered in styrene, would be great to kitbash upon.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1069 on:** July 18, 2013, 04:27:25 AM »

Thanks for the comments.
I am really considering (but not for now) to have this 3D- printed.
For now I am planing a SAR and an armed versions of this one

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1070 on:** July 21, 2013, 12:22:22 AM »

Equiped with external fuel tanks (and, in the future, flotation gear and rescue hoist

) here is the SAR version

Well, how about taking the Aero Union/Sikorsky Firehawk approach, a lengthened landing gear and an underfuselage tank with the refill hose and pump unit deployable from it?

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1072 on:** July 22, 2013, 05:18:32 AM »

Thank you; that is very interesting

JP Vieira · « **Reply #1073 on:** October 02, 2013, 01:23:56 AM »

Hello
What-if the RNZAF got Phantoms...?
Here is a possible colour scheme

Good to see you posting again!
