VIRULAN long range heavy fighter

[renax]

In fact
I will not finish it,
I did it only for shots.

also the time to finish it,
I could make a master for a little new kit,
and there are so many new kits to be done

but it could be finished by someone else,
sometime it happens.
(I am just asking myself if I dont need it for more shots, the comic being not ended).

for the nose guns, there is all place not in the nose but in the sides.

I thought the crew was two, one pilot and the gunner/radio/navigator
(at least its how it is in the comic)
but there are two seats in the nose(one copilot/radio/navigator)

Interesting indeed...I predict someone here will attempt to emulate your concept.

Greg

Hi Renax, -- you won't finish this beauty ?? pity, it's a great one ! but then you've been impressing me with your stuff for 30 yrs -- will you do a newer version (1/24th scale please) of that one-wheel desert biker I saw in the early 1980's ??

[renax]

Thank you....

Well rather than finished the Virulan
(wich is finished for the purpose I built it in fact)

I'll remain on the Virulan on this topic,
but maybe Ill open another one about the comic (not to mix everything)
(the comic is an Uchronian/Alternative History subject)










pictures with turret views:
the gunner is in the turret, but this is not done on the model.
Guns would be 30mm "long"...


both up and low "half turret"


intrados:
(note the retracted landing skids)

I think It was the turret fighter like some Boulton Paul projects.Is that right ? 

[renax]

I dont know about Boulton Paul project turret close to this one,
I am very curious to see picts if you have some.

In the Virulan case the turret has a top part and a low part,
operated by a single shooter.

There must have been some turret with this configuration but I have no example in mind right now....

These Boulton Paul  projects I found from Flitzer profiles.They are P97b,F11/37.The pics are too small to see them.

[renax]

Does not as both "up and down" turret....
In fact I have no example in mind.

Can I ask what was the mission of the Bison sub in this comic?

[renax]

you mean this submarine:
(http://www.sharkit.com/alterra1/sanctuaire/sanctuaire.htm)


or the Bison bomber (soviet Myasishchev M-4) that appear at a time in the comic ?

[renax]

This submarine
(names the "RAGE")
carries annular-winged airplanes comparable to the SNECMA C-450 Coleoptère
in missile-like compartiments.
One of her mission is to intercept bomber raids as they cross the ocean.

Below is a 1/72 model.
