Nice one! BTW- there are now several interest groups on d/A that correspond to our proclivities.

Whifcraft
Aircraft profilers
World of Dioramas (brand spankin' new!)
Digital Aviation Arts
Airships

And a host of similars.

He's a 3D artist, sketch rendering, mostly automobiles but a surprising group of whif's too.

This is a kind of "Artsy" picture, but titled as "Haunting Fears" it does have some appeal, besides the obvious...

Gulp!

I thought I'd miss-typed the URL for a moment there!
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! :)

Newest from Cutangus. Its not a dress up of a Vought F5u / V-173 either. Tailless and a lift fan drive.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

  1 Very busy pilot! One thing about whiffs, you don't have to worry about all the machinery, framing and electronics / hydraulics associated with powered barbette turrets! Or their ammunition storage. A Hamster sized pilot would be very useful in this design.

   Too much JMN out of me for a Friday....

But almost modelable too............  ;D

Don´t worry, I´m not a JMN, I was thinking in it like a modern plane with littles cameras and sensors or remote sistem, that's my default, I am passionate about imaginary technical details.

I had them tagged as AI controlled energy wepons  :thumbsup:  its a nice easy step around.  evan kinda lazy.. just perfect for a sunday morning
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances.

I really like the Angels 22 artwork...
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.
