Those are gorgeous RAF birds.  The Eagles are quite tempting.  What wing did you use as inspiration for that strike variant?

Thank you. The wing: I just extended the rear of it and deleted the horizontal tail

i like the strike eagle, maybe the tails could be slanted out a little?

Thank you. The tails slanted would look great!

Those Lightnings are great ... but the Polish AF camouflage is especially sharp  :)

Sweet Eagles and that Yugoslav Lightning might have to be done in plastic!

Thank you.
I am not really a plastic modeller (more of a pixel modeller), so if someone wants to do it in plastic, go for it ... ;)

And now from a request made by M.A.D.

Quote

JP Vieira, I have always like the idea of NATO, inspired by the power and fear of the Mil Mi-24 Hind, developing a modified Westland Lynx 3, as the basis of a cost effective counter!

I have always envisaged the grafting/mating of a Bell AH-1S or Agusta A129 Mangusta forward fuselage and cockpit to that of the more powerful and more beefed up Lynx 3 fuselage, engine and rotor system. It would also have incorporated:
- Fuselage-mounted stub-wing to give added lift and hang weapons

- A gun/cannon turret in or under its nose (again AH-1S or A129 International style!)

- Able to carry and deliver an Infantry Section of eight-fully equipped troops, within the existing Lynx 3 main cabin.

- Use existing fixed landing gear of Lynx 3, so as to save cost, weight and complexity.

So what do you think JP Vieira?

Nice concept M.A.D. and JP! My inner JMN says just plain "ARMY" though  ;)

Damn nice - we need to see some more of those.  Perhaps all the current RW Harrier (original and updated and SHAR) users?
