ChristopherC Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 NATF:http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/planes/f22/f22-natf.jpg That's my inspiration for this project. I posted that image in the planned whiffs thread, but it's good to have it here too. Group build mods: is it cool to keep posting profile pics here? Or should it be exclusively for build pics?

Deino Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 (edited) ...Those are some sweet profiles Deino! My photoshop (or Gimp in this case) skills are still somewhat wanting. ... Chris Hi Chris .... mine too !!! These profiles are made by a very good friend of mine named J.P. Santiago or just "Sentinel Chicken" an almost famous artist for what-ifs in the "What-if" community. Look here: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?action=gallery;cat=6 I'm working with him esp. on Chinese Secret Projects ( http://airlinebuzz.com/forums/blog.php?u=3...logcategoryid=2 ) since about 3 years ...

illithid00 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Group build mods: is it cool to keep posting profile pics here? Or should it be exclusively for build pics? I don't have a problem with it, personally, but it's your thread. It's up to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Awesome, well here are a few more two seater Sea Raptors, now with shading! Old school squadrons And more Bones Deino, I have heard of "Sentinel Chicken", his profiles look awesome! Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Excellent stuff! The twin-seaters look great and the Reapers, Omars and NSAWCs are awesome! Desertpilot, that looks really cool! <...> Group build mods: is it cool to keep posting profile pics here? <...> Fine with me! It's your thread. What you could do, though, is post your profiles and the line drawings in the big WHAT-IF THREAD in Jet Modelling. I have a feeling they'd reach a bigger audience there.

danse Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Desertpilot - looking good so far - is your build in 1/144? 1/72? Settled on VF-84 / VF-103? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_s Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 This is looking good. The swing wings look good on the Raptor. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Desertpilot Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Desertpilot - looking good so far - is your build in 1/144? 1/72? Settled on VF-84 / VF-103? Danse, my work is based on the roughly 1/144 Diousha Raptor. I bought a whole slew of them a while ago for an air-to-air shadow box I did for some friends down in Florida, I am using up some of the left overs. I may attempt the two seater here next if this one turns out ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 Some more Australian "Sea Raptors" 77 Squadron Royal Australian Navy Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 That last one with the squadron marking incorporated into the camo Israeli style is awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChristopherC Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 I think I might have found my colour scheme. I really like the look of the hi-viz Australian navy profile. I've also found that Novascale sells a decal set for RAN skyhawks in 1/100 scale, see here. I think they might fit a Raptor in 1/144th, at least the tail markings.

Aggressor Supporter Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I cringe at seeing these naval Raptors but at the same time I can't look away! ;) Nice artworks! Nice work on your little swing wing Raptor so far Desertpilot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
