looks like something from the RAF secret jets book I have, and very convincing. :thumbsup:


It does, doesn't it
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

63cpe reply #3-  The reason the Swift fuselage looks so dowdy is when they transitioned from the large diameter centrigugal flow engine of the Attacker to the Swift, they kept pretty much the same fuselage diameter.  I have no clue why.  So even though it had a axial flow engine, it did not have the slim fuselage of its contemporaries.
The Leng Plateau is lovely this time of year

Agreed!  ^   It's so long, slender, and sleek.....  kind of a mosquito vibe, but in a good way!  :wub:

Thanks gentlemen!

@ Royabulgaf: yes, but not only that, it's also the short, turned up nose...still somehow the fuselage doesn't fit the wings, stabilo and tail...

Still got to add splitterplates..

63cpe yes.  The Swift Mk 7 looked better with the long nose.  Then, they hang those pipework missile racks under it.  Sigh

Should have put them on the wingtips maybe?

But a Fireflash was anything but elegant............

Ok, might aswell change the planned fireflashes to firestreaks, under the wings..

Fantabulous.  The fin needs to extend back further IMO but that's just a personal aesthetic thing.
Other than that its very nice.
Well done.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
