The Aerial Armada, part one: SAC

[proditor]

So, now that I have a camera I can show off some of what I'm working on currently.

F-104 Penetrator variant





The Mig-37 Super Interceptor





And the pride of the line, the F-112 Falchion!





All 1/144, all very much in progress.

[BlackOps]

The whole armada looks cool but I particularly favor the MiG 37 and the F-112.

Looks like you've been pretty busy!

Oh my...  

I KNEW I will love them... And I DO love them!!!  

The F-104 looks very cool for me, the other one too, of course

[Ollie]

Top job buddy!

That is wee!

 

[waynos]

Spectacular shapes! The F-104 particularly appeals to me. What donated the wings?

[Ollie]

I'd say Tornado.

 

[Shasper]

Holy crapanzo!

The 112 looks like the F-108.

great job!

Thank you all very much.  I've been going bonkers not being able to share as I thought I had some cool ideas working here.  

Wings for the F-104: Trumpeter F-86 with the 104's wing tanks added.  I was inspired by the gentleman on here who made the leap on this idea long before I did.

The Mig 37 (Which should be Mig 39, I messed up my own numbering sequence) was me going "Huh, after putting the F-117 weapons bay in the Falchion, I have these extra wings....where'd I put that Mig-29?"

The F-112...started life as an F-14.  In fact the wings and tail are still there under a lot of putty.  The nose is from a tornado, as are the second set of engines.  It is the "improved" F-108 Rapier, so I'm glad it looks the part.  Twin standard afterburning engines on the outside, twin ramjets a la the XF-103 on the inside.  A splitter in the intakes diverts airflow once it gets up to speed.  Mach 4, here we come.   B)

Congratulations! (my very favourite is the weird F-104/86...)

[Keith Diamond]

I really like them, especially the F-104.

Now, not sure if this is a copmpliment to the detail of the 1/144 F-104 or an insult to Testors, but before I read the scale, I thought that was the 1/48 Testors F-104C kit...

[The Rat]

Looooove that Penetrator, so sleek, so 50's, such a sexual name!  

Hang on a bit...


Is that...


No! It can't be...


The Airfix F-104?!?!?!  

If you can make a silk purse out of that sow's ear you have my undying admiration!      

[anthonyp]

SWEET!!  That F-112 looks great!  At first I thought you'd taken an Anigrand F-108 and put a Tornado tail on it.  Very nice.

I dig that F-104 Penetrator too.  Good looking plane!

   

[Sisko]

Love them all!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[rallymodeller]

Awesome work!

That F-104 looked familiar, until I remembered this:



The Lockheed XF-90. And yours is even Lockheed! B)  

[John Howling Mouse]

All great concepts and you sure are motoring along, progress-wise.

Don't leave us hanging: please keep the in-progress pics coming!
