F-2XL is sooooo damn gorgeous!

I'll second that! And that a VG Viper... :)

New Stuff

F-16xl with CFTs:

Swing Viper:
Not much space for weapons though

F-18 front/F-16 back/F-86 wings:

Ducked F-16:

Looks like the tandem gear bandit stuck again

Fixed wing Tornado:

Great job :) Swing Viper in particular !

Tophe · « **Reply #103 on:** October 27, 2016, 01:00:52 AM »

I agree: several marvels there, while the swing Viper is my very favourite!

Concur! What a beauty!

Love the camo on all of these too!

Lovely set, fixed wing t'nado is my fave, but all very nice indeed. Maybe you should apply to Gen. Dynamics for a job?

Except they don't really do aircraft anymore...

Well, not combat aircraft but they do own Gulfstream Aerospace. Not bad for what started as the holding company for Electric Boat.

EB or BIW would be my dream but Green Card would be the issue, then again with my wife's career who knows where I could end up.

Your Aerodrome gives impression of major R&D and flight test center !
Like them all for both design and appropriate color scheme on each one :)

Single engine Mig-29/ Halfcrum/ Mig-14.5 - I call it the Smig

ProwlerHog AWACS:

When I looked at it with its fuel tanks on I was tempted to do a floatplane A-10, but alas I got no floats in the stash.

Prowling Growling Mighty Duck

Norwegian Grippen with CFTs launching a Joint Strike missile:

On the bench/ coming up soon

Quad tilt-rotor bullet plaine

Indtruder cockpit on my headless Hind.
Thinking of either Russian coast guard or CSAR, also thinking of adding refueling probe.

GTX_Admin · « **Reply #111 on:** November 27, 2016, 03:19:15 AM »

With a bit more shaping, that last one might match this Unmanned version I drew ages ago:

interesting hybrids !

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #113 on:** November 27, 2016, 03:42:51 AM »

Someone got built by the Prowler bug!!

Really great design. The Smig is sharp. My hats off, its tough to convert a double engine to a single when they have that big tunnel between the Nacelles (like Flanker, Tomcat) much easier when they look like a box (Foxbat, Eagle)

CFTS on the Gripen are subtle, but very sexy :)

Prowling Growling Mighty Duck

This one is my favourite, is this a modified F-16XL? Great!

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #115 on:** November 28, 2016, 07:22:59 AM »

Nice work on that fractal camo!

I really like what you're doing with that re-purposed bullet train now a plane. Will look forward to seeing more on this one. It looks every bit a winner already!

Prowler bug... hmmmm... put a prowler cockpit on a super hornet. Would have to widen the fuselage, something to mull over. Thanks for the idea :)

Settled for an ASW role for the hind and trying to decide a canopy style:

And now for my most ambitious build yet - a scratch-build 1/144 X-02 Wyvern from the Ace Combat games. This is going to be a long term thing, I don't care if it takes years but it been on my list for a while and it'll be a test of my skills.

Compared to Flanker:

Some Japanese super modeler has probably done this already, but I don't care I want one for myself. Although if a kit exists it's probably hiding in the Japanese internet, extremely rare and ludicrously expensive.

Thats a winner! would love to see it.

I have been wanting to mount the front of an F-14 on a Super Hornet forever, hoping to get to it some day.

I like the right better. :) I think it looks more russian. But the left looks more futuristic. Your call

I see you have interneted before!

elmayerle · « **Reply #118 on:** December 02, 2016, 06:37:06 AM »

For ASW Hind, how about "reverting" to a Hind-A cockpit and canopy?

The Big Gimper · « **Reply #119 on:** December 02, 2016, 08:05:04 AM »

I like the design on the right as well. Reminds me of the old Boeing cockpits which had the "eyebrow" windows.

arkon · « **Reply #120 on:** December 02, 2016, 08:52:46 AM »

I would say the right one also, it just looks more Russiany.
That and I like the small low cheek window that juts out farther forward than the rest.
Great job all around though 👍

Tophe · « **Reply #121 on:** December 02, 2016, 02:20:29 PM »

I prefer the left one, with big Windows (like big eyes of a bird, with more personality)...

So would that be a Catbug?:

Anyway Prowlerbug:

Alternate widening - going to be more of a su-34:

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #123 on:** December 06, 2016, 04:20:53 AM »

intersting!! I Like both variants :)

finsrin · « **Reply #124 on:** December 06, 2016, 05:33:07 AM »

Can't pick a favorite either. Certainly interesting !
