Thanks guys :)

I like your four-engine Hawkeye. Have you considered applying that same concept to the C-2 Greyhound? :)

Actually I wanted to stretch a c-2 in the first place, but it has a fat butt - so there would be a lot of work involed:

The VTOLs look a bit like Grumman Model 698:

That is no coincidence

And here's some more:

B-25/S-3 wingswap:

Su-25 intermeshing rotor attack chopper:

Airborne seaRAM:

Harrier Bomber:

Su-25 based attack jet (based on the obscure Avenger II from Macross) with a full carpet bombing load of SDBs. I wish they made a 2 seater su-25 in 1/144 or 1/72, I really want to build a bigger one of these:

Vigilante based interceptor:

VTOL F-18 attacker:

These two are prototypes of AEW aircraft with smaller wingspans to operate off small aircraft carriers.

Tandem wing:

Based on the Hs.125 AEW concept:

And this one was just for fun:

ALL of them are located in the range between marvelous and genius!

My very favorites are the Harrier twin-boomer and the very last twin-boomer (on which basis?)

I forgot to say something:

I plan to present it on my site about asymmetric aircraft, as this seems to be the very first asymmetric aircraft with tilting fins ever, no?

elmayerle · « **Reply #35 on:** August 19, 2015, 01:48:11 AM »

2-seat Su-25's are available from Art Model and, if memory serves me correctly, other companies, too. I know I've seen the Art Model ones for sale recently.

Oh stop it, you.

Latest batch:

Mirage style Vigilante

JH-7 style Vigilante

XB-43 style Skywarrior

Enlarged su-25 with Hawkeye wings

su-33 AEW

TSR2-ish Vigilante

VTOL Viking

Double B-25 AWACS

Swing-wing Flankers

Cant wait to get started on my next batch, where a mix of Ace Combat and Yukikaze will be my muse.

for the double-bubble XB-43!

Next up: 1/144 Har-nado

I kind of flubbed the nozzles because getting the right position would have required extensive rework of the rear fuselage.

And work has started on my Joint strike harrier idea from the VTOL GB:

Hmmmm... I probably should have planned a bit before ripping it apart, oh well.

The desert fractal camo on your Har-nado is absolutely superb!

Great stuff!

Thanks, stay tuned for a more refined version :)

I do like digital camo, but its a bit of a learning experience to make it look good. In retrospect there should be more brown.

My recent builds: reconfigured WWII planes

I have some free time so I can can hopefully ramp up production, that is if I can wrestle myself away from launching little green people into space

The Big Gimper · « **Reply #47 on:** December 31, 2015, 02:53:18 AM »

Cool builds. Keep them coming. :)

Cool! The two canards have a very "Miles" feeling after seeing the M.35 and the M.39B and derivatives.
