Looks okay to me Ken, it maybe a fantasy-type-piece but still it has to look like it may work, and in that effect...I think you have.

looking good Ken, and very interesting as well ,like the landing gear,

keep up the good work,:rolleyes:

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Thanks moni what do you think about the top wing, not sure I like it.

 

[dubster72]

I think I prefer it without the top wing Ken - it looks sleeker without.

Great work though, it reminds me of something you might have seen in the old Command & Conquer pc games

 

[flyjoe180]

You could just buy an A-10. Nice work so far Ken.

I've been watching from the sidelines on this Patrick and I must say it does look good so far , the wings give it a B2 stealth look

I think if you remove the dorsal tail fin then add two sets of smaller fins at a 45 degree angle pure and lower it make a big difference

 

[eddiesolo]

Drop the top wing, doesn't look right IMO. Looks two...sci-fi. Nice work though.

what do you think, (be honest) still got to make the front more aerodynamic (not sure yet how) but inspiration will come I know it will.

I like it Ken, something different and unusual, think the turret wing works better.

Imagine this coming at you lol.

I like this a lot it's outside the box thinking on steroids.

The jet blast looks great for shape IMO Ken.

 

[treyzx10r]

I'm liking the turret wing Ken!

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Thanks Trey an Aaron glad the new wing and the jet blast work I am thinking of a dio of its maiden take off.

 

[noble]

Nice work Ken innovative and imaginative.

the little pilot is from a German half track kit. if I cut his hat off and paint his uniform brown do you think i would get away with him looking British.

 

[Deleted member 3568]

Hi guys and gals well its nearly finished now added some flaps and a rudder.

now I am in a bit of a quandry as its a prototype would it have any markings, if so would it be Army or RAF I need to know so I know what colours to paint the pilot.
