Northrop AX design

[GTX]

Hi folks,

For those of you who haven't seen it, the following Northrop AX (the project which resulted in the A-10) design was recently shown here.

Any takers for a plastic (or other medium) version?

Regards,

Must've been one of the losing ideas for the A-9 :

and then the A-9 concept i guess was stolen by the russians.

i mean, just look at the resemblence between the A-9 and the SU-25

Basically : take an A-10, get ride off the engines and H-tail, add a propeller instead of the tail cone. Cut two drop tanks to make the intakes, tails made of styren sheets... some heavy surgery needed to obtain the "rised" tail.
Is it just me, or there's no GAU-8 on the drawings ?

and then the A-9 concept i guess was stolen by the russians.

Its just same layout of engines, cockpit and wings etc.

If it was copied it would be more different.

Su-25 is also more crude and rugged

Wow, and here I am wondering what to do with the A-10 I have that donated the tails and engines to another project, and I'm into pusher aircraft designs now too! Thankies!!!!!!

As I said before, I think I can.....

But, is it necessary to bash an A-10, or may I Scratch ala Rafa?

Group build, guys ?    
 

[Rafael]

Cool!!!

You in, too, Archi???

Mais bien!!!

Y porque no ?

Archi, What about this:

- We make a model resembling/imitating/or exactly dupicating the concept. (this is not a competition, we're having fun)

- Each one is a (hypotethical) competitor for say, a fly-off (I know yours will win, but what the hell..)

- For Chrissakes, we put a GUN in those noses  B)  

- We present the models at our accustomed place.

- Of course, Holidays mediating, this would be for January.

What do you think? I know we'll have a heck of a funny time building our little monsters.....

Hey! I have an idea! I had some T-56 I wanted to use for my FSW Jet B-29 (it is stalled for two months now) but I plan to mount jets now.
So I have four turboprops... but I have to rework their propellers (they are from
C-130!)

I would say honestly that mine would be only roughly similar to the pic (I can't replicate exactly a model).

Ok, lets try!!! It works for me. I just have to find an A-10 to slaughter (and buy Tamyia Putty, the tube JHM send me is already empty! ).

Hope I'll have enough time in January to build the thing...  

[Rafael]

We're game, then!!!!

Ok. We'll PM each other to know what our progresses are, and to exchange info, if necessary, and when we're both ready, we drop daBomb.

Yeah, Archi!!!!

Melovesit!!!!        


Merry Xmas, and Happy modeling, my little French friend!!!!          


Un abrazo,
Tu Amigo,

Rafa

PD: GTX, you have a honor Invitation extended to you....
