The curse of the WWW... property rights will be the demise of everything. I mean, things ARE posted to be seen, but giving credit to the original source won't hurt - esp. if the poster does not do anything to hint at the fact that it is not his/her original work.

In your case I would be upset too. The artist included your work into his work and mentioned nothing. The least he could have done was ask permission. Since it was a painting it won't have been that hard to create his own aircraft. This is a clear case of plagiarism.

Just about the most impractical VTOL project ever I'd have said, but variety is the spice of life.....

Single seat, single engine F-4 there are comments on the page that it looks underpowered etc... I quite like it.

Building one would include MASSIVE surgery for the tail/engine section. Doing this in the profile already hurts the eye, but building it/cramping everything on top of each other in hardware form is certainly more demanding; had the idea of turning a Viggen into a conservative design (its fuselage is pretty Phantom-like!), but I could not come up with a sensible solution for the tail (yet). Would probably end up/look like a F3H Demon (most practical design I could think of yet), but I am not certain if I like this result...  :rolleyes:

On Tim Morely Facebook page there's an Avro Shackleton MR3 in RCAF colours and decals. Also a B-47 in RAAF.

seen that before - it's actually one of several "serious" proposals from 1900 to 1930s era. I think that one is German or Czech (car shape) but France also put many designs forward.
you may as well all give up -- the truth is much stranger than fiction.

I'm not sick ... just a little unwell.

Oh YEAH!  :thumbsup:

That looks the business!

Very much so. Gone in the notebook for possible projects ! Imitation being etc  ;D Probably just have it overall foliage green uppers though
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
