Thanks for the comments.
Here is the general distribution of different helicopters used in creating the Mi-27.

It would be great to see it in plastic ...

Empty Handed · « **Reply #151 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:23:40 AM »

Great work on the Mi-27!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #152 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:23:48 AM »

Cool!

I did something similar ages ago - your's looks much better though:

I guess great mind's think alike...or fools never differ!

Continuing with one of the scenarios (the emergence of jet engines earlier) how would the Battle of Britain be fought by opposing jet fighters...?
here is one possibility: jet-powered Spitfires vs Bf.109

Thanks JP, your wonderful jet-warbirds inspired me similar Mustangs:

Thanks for the repplies and comments.
The anphibious Mi-24 would look great in plastic; It would be great if someone would it

Greg: your anphibious Mi-24 looks very good.
Tophe: Great designs; I eventully plan to do also a WWII Jet Mustang.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #155 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:00:37 PM »

Continuing with the WWII Jets, I plan to do several designs; Luftwaffe bombers will most surely will be done as several other aircraft (including I think the BP Defiant as suggested by Russ); I am thinking about different engine placements for all those different aircraft.
For now I give you a Jet Stuka (shortly some French Jets…)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #156 on:** January 27, 2012, 09:30:04 PM »

Here are some of the fighters used by France in 1940: The Dewoitine D-520 and the Curtiss H-75

elmayerle · « **Reply #157 on:** January 27, 2012, 09:45:03 PM »

I think that jet stuka is going to need some tweaking. As is, it looks like the exhuast pipe is scraping the ground when she's sitting on the main and tail gear. Throw a ground line in and check that. Beautiful concepts, though.

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #158 on:** January 27, 2012, 10:09:46 PM »

I was looking at that and came to the conclusion that the gear must telescope (partially retract). The tailwheel seems to support that idea.

Cheers,

Logan

The jet D-520 looks so right,me likey

JP Vieira · « **Reply #160 on:** January 27, 2012, 11:02:31 PM »

Hello
Many thanks for your comments.
Regarding the Stuka’s landing gear, the pilot had the possibility to select several configurations for taking off and landing, depending on landing surfaces, external load configuration, speed, etc.
The tail wheel was coated with metal protection (for shielding it against the exhaust of the jet)
Here are two examples of landing gear configuration.

Ditto!

Thanks for the comments. :)

Here is another WWII Jet the Messerschmitt Bf 110

The next one should be the BP Defiant (as sugested by Russ)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #163 on:** January 28, 2012, 02:41:16 AM »

That's doable!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #164 on:** January 28, 2012, 02:45:02 AM »

Any chance of a Jet Fw-190 in the wings...maybe based upon the Fw-190TL proposal:

JP Vieira · « **Reply #165 on:** January 28, 2012, 03:32:15 AM »

Thanks for the comments.
Regarding the jet FW-190, Greg, yes I think it is doable

JP Vieira · « **Reply #166 on:** January 28, 2012, 03:33:48 AM »

And for now the Jet BP Defiant (as sugested by Russ - Thanks)
This time it has frontal guns...

AXOR · « **Reply #167 on:** January 28, 2012, 03:53:30 AM »

Waaaaw,another...

Alex

RussC · « **Reply #168 on:** January 28, 2012, 06:11:39 AM »

With the exception of the turret, the jet defiant actually looks a lot like the Gloster E28 prototype !

That Stuka jet just looks angry, doesn't even need a shark face painted on it... looks predatory.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #169 on:** January 28, 2012, 07:34:36 PM »

Thanks for the comments.
And now, folowing a requested by Greg, here is the FW-190TL (as it might look like in operational service - Galland Circus)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #170 on:** January 29, 2012, 01:38:41 AM »

Hello
Here is the Hawker Hurricane (jet)

Gorgeous!! Now, just imagine adding the "swallow-wing" tested on Fw-190V19 for higher performance.

Hey, quit looking at my stash and reading my mind - I have the Antares 1/48 conversions for both and was planning on merging them!

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #173 on:** January 29, 2012, 03:14:48 AM »

Lovely work on both the FW-190TL and the Hawker Hurricane (jet).

JP Vieira · « **Reply #174 on:** January 29, 2012, 05:33:04 AM »
