Track-Combi is do-able! :thumbsup:

Hover-Combi is, obviously, Sci-Fi anti-grav! :thumbsup:

Aerosan-Combi is cool but I'm a bit worried about the prop; the blades seem to be the wrong way around & it may spend all its time going backwards! :blink:

Even if the blades angle is wrong, this is good enough (to dream) in our whif universe... ;)

Saw this out on the "greatest planes that never were" page. This is from a series of games I've played hands down more than any other games. Ace Combat series....



The BM-335 Lindwurm is a 1950's Nuclear Bomber produced solely by Belka. It made its maiden flight and entered active service in the military in 1951. Designed as a bomber with nuclear capabilities from the very beginning, it became the sole bomber of the Belkan Air Force for the next few decades, receiving numerous upgrades through its history. It also served in the reconnaissance role in the late 2000s. Curiously, despite being classified as a Nuclear Bomber, no Lindwurm has ever contained a Nuclear Weapon.

Don't remember those, but it's been a loooong time since I was playing any of that game series.

Cute it is not, what a beast. :thumbsup:
I don't remember it either... It must have been in #1,2, or 3...  I started with AC04 on PS2 and played the ones since then. 

One of these days I'll have to pick those old ones up and give them a play.

The BM-335 is Belkan made, Featured in Ace Combat Zero.

Though the concept art had it looking more more conventional (Lower left of below pic)

My memory is garbage. I played Zero last 7 years ago but I guess I forgot about that one since then!

Need to play it again but I can't get back used to the yaw controls after having them reversed on PS3. I'd kill for one of the botched aftermarket controllers that has the shoulder buttons reversed.

Nice. The RAF  standard cammo suits the Attacker well.

I do believe this is a certified alternate markings whif. I don't think they had anything looking like that flying back then...     ;)
