Three GAU-8s! Impressive firepower!

Would ANY target survive? The pilot would have to go to full power on all six engines before pulling the trigger though, or it would stop dead!

Jeez, now you've gone & given me IDEAS!

Thanks, scooter!

As if the missus wasn't P'd enough at the size of the stash!

There is a wonderful new group on Facebook called "No Rivet Counters Allowed". This was posted last night. It's the 1/35 Trumpeter M1129 Stryker, combined with the LAV-AD, plus a few additions.

And he's finished it-

OHHHH...WANT ONE!!!

Like I said earlier, it'd make the perfect Summer time commuter vehicle for the Jersey Shore

The Warthog looks pretty cool, save for the new engines. Those just look goofy. Imagine the 3 30mms htiing you tho !

One of the suggestions was pull those outboard engines, where the cockpits used to be, and replace them with a pair of railguns

Eddie did his Superhog a few years ago now, 'only' had two GAU-8's though....http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,8446.0/highlight,superhog.html

LOVE the IAC Gnat! 

[zenrat]

Nice.  But not enough to make me want to go to farsebok.
Shouldn't a prop Canberra have at least a dorsal turret?

[dumaniac]

very nice

[Dizzyfugu]

The "Propberra" is nice. 

[Captain Canada]

Ya the prop Canberra is my fave from that bunch. Looks right !

[ChernayaAkula]

That Flying Fortress just begs to be built! 

[NARSES2]

Yup with Balista type bolt shooters in the turrets

This;

Here ya go, Tophe!

Inspired this idea;

The idea that scooter (b@$t@rd!) put into my head with the 1st Obliterator photochop pic was;

Centre fuselage: YA-10B with wings cut off at the landing gear
Port fuselage: A-10A/C with right wing cut off at the landing gear, remove cockpit, move GAU-8 up, ground search radar placed in lower nose area, swap the
                    nose-gear to the left side
Starboard Fuselage: A-10A/C with left wing cut off at the landing gear, remove cockpit, move GAU-8 up, FLIR targeting pod placed in lower nose area

Keep all 6 engines, link all tail units & keep all tail surfaces & fins, modify inner sets of landing gear to twin-oleo-strut units (maybe twin-wheel, too), run 3 x centre-line drop tanks, lots of bombs & missiles.

In my mind it looks positively Evil!



With any luck I'll eventually bash this in 1/72nd scale (not part of the great RAM Plan, so not 1/48).

I have also been thinking about a 4-gun version & how to fit 2 guns in each of the outer fuselages & more sensors & targeting packages in the centre fuselage.



I'm not sure whether to love you or hate you, scooter!
