I might increase it a bit more to show up better, but the part that I'm unsure about how it looks is on the black panel on the nose. It just seems off right there. On the other hand, I think it looks sierra hotel on the stripes.

I took a quick break from working on my F-14F painting today to work on something I've had in the back of my head for awhile. It's a new UCAV, the MQ-12 Howler, based on the airframe of my XF-34A Dreamstar. It's intended to do not only the normal UCAV strike roles and such, but to function as a robotic wingman for a manned fighter in a three-ship "shotai" formation, 1 manned and 2 unmanned. Still needs wings and a little cleanup, plus weapons, and it will be done. This has got to be one of my faster drawings.

Wings added.

I put all my planes to scale together and grouped them into one large comparison shot of all of them I've done so far. I forgot to put them in, but there was supposed to be placeholders for the following as well:

F-27B/D Warhawk II
F-34C Dreamstar
F-29B/D/E/F Lynx/Super Lynx
RF-29A Lynxeye
F-31A/C Peregrine
Panavia Tempest

Here's an early start on the F-31 lightweight hyper-maneuverable fighter.

Talos · 04-19-2008, 08:29 PM

Here's my completed side view of the EADS/Rockwell F-31A Peregrine ultra-maneuverable lightweight fighter. There is a slimline and lightweight Mauser BK-20 single-barrel cannon mounted in a ventral pod.

Also, I updated the mass picture with all my aircraft designs.

Nice to see progress from you. I like the designs so far.

Regarding the F-29..i noted the Ring Raiders version had the F-5 style landing gear ..then again RR planes seldom spot any serious loadout For the internal gun i would go for either a single nose mounted 27mm Mauser Bk27 or the GAU-12(relocated ofcourse).

As for the F-31 EFM..Peregrine seems nice although I would also suggest Mongoose, Sparrowhawk and Adler for the Luftwaffe version.

Talos · 04-25-2008, 02:42 AM

Hmm, Sparrowhawk, I like it! *steals it and changes the F-31's name*

So far, the F-29 is using the same landing gear of the X-29, an F-5 nose gear and F-16 main gear. As far as the gun, I did consider going with a single-barreled BK, but I think for the F-29C/E, I'll use an M61 probably, mounted on the lower-right portion of the nose. A BK-27 is a possibility I'll look into.

Looking up the name, I'm actually surprised that there's only been one plane named Sparrowhawk (in the English language): F9C Sparrowhawk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Really can't wait to see your work finished!
