If there is one think I really like are those artist interpretations of the Cold War.
When the MiG-29 was only known from blurry satelite pictures, there were a lot of artist interpretations of the aircraft.
Here is a DDR aircraft based on one of those early interpretations; at the time it was also speculated that the Fulcrum used the AA-9...

Funny "real mistake"...

I love 'real whif' concepts!

Hello
In the last issue of "Mais Alto" magazine (the Mágazine of the Força Aérea Portuguesa) there is the first part of a very interesting article about the (almost) buy by Portugal of Mirage IIIs.
It features also a great what-if profile of the Mirage IIIEPL (the proposed version for Portugal) by fellow artist Paulo Alegria.
Inspired by that article (and profile) I propose another what-if: a Phantom in FAP colour and used in the Colonial Wars.

Do we have a profile for the FAP Dassault Mirage by Paulo Alegria here?

Yes, I spoke to Paulo and he agreed to have it posted here; here it is

This profile was published in the last issue of Mais Alto magazine.
More of Paulo's works can be found at his blog at http://templarsquadron.blogspot.pt/

Very nice. A shame it was not used in the FAP.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #858 on:** January 02, 2013, 02:31:54 AM »

Yes, I think it woujld be great for the FAP.
And what-if it was used and later on modernised...?

stephenmiller · « **Reply #859 on:** January 02, 2013, 02:52:21 AM »

That would work too.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #860 on:** January 05, 2013, 08:43:16 PM »

Thank you.
Here is an interceptor version of it

I came back and took yet another look at this. Am I interpreting it correctly as having the length of a F-4E but with a larger radar and no internal gun? It's a beautiful pic and I'm trying to figure out how to model it.

JP Vieira · « **Reply #862 on:** January 07, 2013, 01:45:43 AM »

Thank you.
Yes, this is basically the F-4E without the canon pod on the nose.
Hope you model it soon ... :)

Lovin' the Rhino and Mirages!

JP Vieira · « **Reply #864 on:** January 08, 2013, 02:58:44 AM »

Thank you.
Even it is a very simple color scheme, I do think plkanes look good in this all green scheme; perhaps some more some time soon.
But for now back to my 3D lessons...

The wingtip-mounted SRAAM kinda changed the feel of the upgraded Mirage...... positively :)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #866 on:** January 13, 2013, 01:08:28 AM »

Thank you for the comments; the wingtip aam does make it look more modern

Hello
I am spending many hours learning 3D programs; as a learning project i am doing a version of an aircraft I posted here before; a tilt-rotor general purpose support aircraft,the OV-30
Here are some test shots of it (almost done with the modelling phase)

jschmus · « **Reply #868 on:** January 13, 2013, 01:21:39 AM »

Looks too delicate for military work.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #869 on:** January 13, 2013, 03:14:32 AM »

Interesting - what sort of propulsion is planned?

JP Vieira · « **Reply #870 on:** January 13, 2013, 03:30:04 AM »

Thanks for the comments.
jschmus: The combat record of the OV-30 speaks for itself

Greg: its a tilt-rotor as the V-22 (the engines are almost done :)

Here is a 3 view of it (minus the engines

)

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #871 on:** January 13, 2013, 03:32:52 AM »

Looking good.

apophenia · « **Reply #872 on:** January 14, 2013, 09:20:48 AM »

Very intriguing ... and great lines!

JP Vieira · « **Reply #873 on:** January 16, 2013, 05:07:22 AM »

Thanks!
It has been really rewarding learning the 3D modelling (althought very demanding)

JP Vieira · « **Reply #874 on:** January 16, 2013, 05:09:49 AM »

Just a little experimenting with textures and maps (a bit crude yet); here it is with some parts "painted" in the Swedish Desert Splinter camo
