Not a Whiff really as it is a real world aircraft but check out this FW 190 with a Tupolev TU-2 cowl and different prop.

So really it's just a Real World Whiff?

IIRC the prop and spinner are Tu-2 as well.

Looks good like that.....wondering if I would have noticed anything had I not known.

Yeeees, an SR-71 UAV?

But it would be wildly unstable with no fins at all. Does he have an explanation for the design anywhere?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Awesome stuff!  :thumbsup: Going by the markings, the lines of the fins, intakes, pylons and landing gear, I'd say this started life as a JAS-39 Gripen somewhere in the past.

Check out his other stuff in his ArtStation gallery: LINK!

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
