this AU is simply outstanding simply outstanding
any thoughts about making FD scale varients of your aircraft

Yeah, it's by far one of the better AUs on here.

Thank you for the kind words. I did start drawing the Revenant in FD scale before Christmas but haven't yet finished it. I don't see why I shouldn't have a foray into FD at some point again.

Updated the Huldra drawing, much more flanker like than before but that's intentional, after all it is meant to be a Western equivalent.

The hump-backed version is in essence a conformal fuel tank and ECM spine holding some 2,500 litres of fuel. Powerplant remains the same with two E300-150 engines @120/150kN. Fixed armament again consists of two 27mm x145 revolver cannon. There are 16 hardpoints consisting of 6 under fuselage, 8 under wing and two wing-tip mounted for a total of 11000kg of stores. The design is purely a two seater at this point but at a future point there may be a single seater developed. As before the general layout is that of a tailed delta with manoeuvrable canards attached to the LERXs

Secondly a quick attempt at an ASTOVL design along similar lines to the P.1216, a twin boomed design but unlike the P.1216 uses two engines to a common exhaust.

Nice aircrafts especially the Huldra.

Verusea Alternative Universe is starting to build up.

Updated the banshee drawing as well as the Huldra. No changes to the actual design of the aircraft other than a few pixels changing colour to represent what they're meant to.

Some fun with colours and shown loaded up



There will be more designs to come essentially mirroring types that exist IRL, they're up for grabs if anyone actually wants to use them too. I just like designing planes and flying things... ~ Mark.

And why "Blackbuck" has the right to display his drawings? .........Why it is not the same note I?...It takes place him also with its topic, and there is no reproach but him!

???????

Frankly I do cromprends really not why have more rights than the other... and more alternative designs for

Why asked does not create links like everyone else?

I like his drawings, they are very good qualities, .... .but, there that have more right to directly display their images on their topic
