Lockheed-Boeing AFX

I got inspired by SC's profiles to build a new model of this.

Wow, amazing work

 

[flateric]

In spite of a some simplification, it looks grrreat!

 

[Matej]

Very nice result.

 

[Evil Flower]

It's still a wip. Right now I'm mostly working with getting the basic model right before I start working in details.

 

[Triton]

Very nice. ;D I look forward to seeing other images of your model.

Igor of Unicraft, if you are out there, I am begging on bended knee for one.

Fantastic Plastic is getting more and more into the business of stereo-lith "grown" models, including two so far that I've modeled in CAD. Depending on the file format, growing a plastic model kit from this 3D model might be fairly easy.

evil flower my hats off to you it looks great.

 

[AeroFranz]

Sexy looking
look forward to seeing the finished product.

Ok, number of questions:

First off, the available concept art shows nozzles as being painted same as rest of plane, but going by the F-22, that features nozzles which are more gunmetalish in appearance. Which one is more plausible? Would you actually paint the nozzles at all IRL?

Next, the F-22 (again) has some panels that are an "off" color compared to the fuselage. It was explained to me that this is due to them being of a different RAM material. Don't know how correct that is but do you think this plane would feature such as well or would the navy simply paint it over?

 

[AeroFranz]

I'm no expert on the subject, but my guess is that the hot section would not tolerate paint very well, and it would be difficult/futile to try to maintain it anyway.

Frakkin' sweet!

Some ever-so-slight progress. These are unlit screengrabs from max so y'all can comment on the colors

Be cool if one these birds was marked with USS Harry S Truman. ;D

 

[KJ_Lesnick]

What 3D program did you make that with?

 

[Kryptid]

Wow. That's a top-notch model of a cool-looking aircraft. Would the nozzles have had thrust-vectoring control like those on the F-22?

 

[lantinian]

Even better surprise than the F-15ES. Thanks for sharing!

You can actually get pretty good results with those. I've got a stereolith of the DARPA Heliplane and it turned out pretty good.

If this happens, I plead for it in 1/48th!!!
