The Spit with radial cooling is my favourite of this new batch. Thanks. :)

Hello
In the late 60’s and early 70’s there was a trend amongst Western air forces to procure and field new fighters: many western air forces wanted a smaller number of squadrons equipped with large, two-engine interceptor, supported by large number of squadrons of multi-role, single-engine fighters.
That trend was express in the UK by two new designs: the Hawker Siddeley Osprey and the BAC Storm. The latter one was a two-engine interceptor that was later developed also as a strike aircraft.

Here is one of RAF’s BAC Storm

Nice, looking like a half breed of F-15 and Mirage (for air intakes)

BadersBusCompany · « **Reply #30 on:** December 17, 2011, 09:56:13 PM »

Wow the Storm is mint!!! :in-love:

JP Vieira · « **Reply #31 on:** December 18, 2011, 02:22:26 AM »

Thanks! Glad you like the Storm; I hope you will enjoy also the Osprey (perhaps comming next...)

The starting point for the design of the BAC Storm was the (also BAC) TSR-2 (intakes, fin, tail and partially the wing - albeit modified).

Hello
The Hawker-Siddeley (later BAe) Osprey was a single-engine, multi-role aircraft.
It was used by many squadrons of the RAF and also widely exported.
It constituted the main front-line aircraft of the RAF, alongside the V/STOL H-S Falcon.
Here is a RAF aircraft (inset is the same aircraft during Operation Granby)

Yes, British aeronautic industry was still alive in the 1970s... this is the (pleasant) proof.

That is nice. :in-love:

Hello
I decided to colorize some old b&w 3 views I created.
Here is one of them...
The YaKa-50 was a collaborative venture between the Yakovlev and Kamov design bureau.
The YaKa-50 (NATO reporting name Hocus) was a much feared helicopter-hunter and reconnaissance aircraft featuring much improved performance over the helicopters fielded by western forces.

Wicked!!

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #38 on:** December 24, 2011, 08:01:34 AM »

That is frikken awesome. :want: What bits did you use to draw that? Or is it original? :want: :in-love:

Tophe · « **Reply #39 on:** December 24, 2011, 11:16:38 AM »

:) Interesting thanks (I had forgotten the black and white version, sorry...)

Bladerunner · « **Reply #40 on:** December 24, 2011, 02:27:17 PM »

Now that is a sexy copter!!! :want:

Also like the Storm and German powered Spitfire very much.

Let me guess... Ka-50 fuselage with a Yak-130D wings, forward and lower fuselage???

JP Vieira · « **Reply #41 on:** December 24, 2011, 08:04:24 PM »

Hello
Thanks for the comments.
This one is in fact a mixt between an Yak-130 and a Ka-50.
Here is another color profile and a 3 view drawing of it

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #42 on:** December 25, 2011, 12:17:49 AM »

Very nice JP thanks for that. I will keep an eye out for the bits to build that. :want:

Logan Hartke · « **Reply #43 on:** December 25, 2011, 08:02:09 AM »

That Osprey looks like LWF perfection. Almost like the combination of the best parts of an F/A-18 and a F-16.

Cheers,

Logan

Tophe · « **Reply #44 on:** December 29, 2011, 03:51:28 AM »

I love the new one too

Hi JP,glad to see you here.
I really like your new '' conversion '' :in-love:...still,I think it would sound better KA-YA,a matter of taste.

Regards,Alex

Yes, a matter of taste: in French, YaKa is more funny, because in slang "y'a qu'à..." (pronounced yaka) means "it's easy, simply doing..." (for instance: y'a qu'à inventer = it is easy, simply inventing). Good word! (for my taste)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #48 on:** January 06, 2012, 06:13:12 PM »

Hello

Here are other colour profiles of a older design: a vertical take-off and landing turboprop A-10.

Weaver · « **Reply #49 on:** January 06, 2012, 08:25:48 PM »

Erm, isn't that going to find itself going backwards once it converts to level flight?
