Another interesting kit bash found at Aircraft Resource Center right now is this F-16 with twin tails and wings and 2D exhaust parts from an F-22 that looks very nice.  Click on html or the thumbnail image to view additional images of this interesting what-if at ARC.

Kees Kuyper shared some images of his What-If Revell 1/72 Jet-Otter (Jotter?)at the Aircraft Resource Center that looks quite convincing with ARCAIR livery.  Click on html or the thumbnail image to view additional images at ARC. 




Now I like that idea  :) :) :)

I get to see quite a few of the Viking Twin-Otters these days, Viking has a hanger at the south end of YYC (Calgary International) where I work.

I recently stumbled across this hybrid Agusta A129B at http://heliweb.forumcommunity.net/?t=57245005
Frankly I love the concept!!
A few years ago I asked JP Vieira to do me a ramdition of a hybrid Agusta A129 Mangusta forward fuselage matted to a Westland Lynx 3 fuselage, power plant and rotor system, to create a Westernized 'Hind'
To my delight, VP come up with his great 'Panther' concept!

My latest interest in the notion of an Australian Army adoption of the A129 International and the A129/139 LBH as the winner for the Australian Army's 'Air87' competition in my Alternative ADF ORBAT has been further stimulated by this A129B profile!!
Although the rear cabin doors look somewhat out of proportion IMO.


M.A.D


I have always thought the Mangusta and Lynx would have been a good combination for the ADF with 1 Aviation Regiment operating a US Army type mix of 9 scouts/gunships and 6 support/utility helos per squadron.

Not necessary 'What If', but rather a studied, but not built carrier-based ASW/MP variant of the Grumman E-2 Hawkeye:

It States: "That carrier in the first image looks like one of the CVV designs. Which may suggest that this Hawkeye offshoot was primarily aimed at the CVV program for use as a low cost ASW platform."

Another one from DeviantArt.

Autoblinde SOMUA S35bis by Medjoeon on DeviantArt



Quote
The Autoblinde SOMUA S35bis was a rival to the AMX 40bis program, both companies focused on filling the order for a highly mobile scout vehicle, inspired by the Wehrmacht's Sdkfz 234. A mid-war project, it aimed to integrate the Büssing-NAG suspension used on the Sdkfz 231/232/234 series of reconnaissance vehicles to a lightened S35 hull and turret, the S35bis served as a light reconnaissance vehicle to support the French Army's cavalry tanks on the field.  Produced in limited numbers, there were too few of them equipping French divisions in 1940 during the Battle of France, and consequently they were relegated to training and reserve units, seeing some more action during the liberation of France several years later. This particular vehicle bears the red diamond, used for the 3rd company, 3rd platoon cavalry tanks, and the number 27 was in the range of numbers used for cavalry tanks such as its tracked counterpart.

The experience gained by the French designers in this program would go on to consolidate their knowledge, culminating into the Panhard and EBR wheeled tank designs of post-war France.

1st half of the project aimed at exploring WW2 French AFV design with a German inspiration. Also, now that I have some more free time I am able to devote more time to my works :)

A site full of what-if subjects called FreakModeling located in Spain.  Link to main page: http://www.freakmodeling.com/index.php/en

Sample of the work found in the banner for the page showing an SdKfZ 234 with the turret of a Panhard EBR that looks quite fetching.
