I can blame this one on this website (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,3636.0.html). LOL!
I had never before heard of Lockheed's L-133 design until visiting this website several years ago. When I saw the drawings and illustrations (also thanks to Mr. Lowther and his "Aerospace Review" articles, one of which covered this design: http://www.aerospaceprojectsreview.com/ev1n4.htm) I was intrigued by how advanced it was for the late 1930s. Compared to everything else it looked like something straight out of Buck Rodgers. What if Lockheed were given the "go-ahead", and the aircraft had actually been produced and flown? Imagine if it had been further developed. Needless to say, I was captured by the "what if" possibilities of the design and finally completed the 3D model. The examples you see here are finished works. They can also be seen on my website and even bought as prints or framed artwork (like my XB-51 illustrations).
Thanks for looking!
