American Frigate

[Karle94]

I couldn`t find either missile anywhere, so I drew my own horrible version:

The upper one is in flight, the bottom one is when it`s in storage.

Here is a version I drew based on this drawing: http://bagera3005.deviantart.com/art/Lo ... -183367672 of the JASSM-ER which uses the same airframe as the LRASM.

ugh, baghera. not known to be that accurate, to be honest.

[klagldsf]

Yeah, IMHO baghera greatly skews towards a combination of exaggeration for tacticool and just being lazy.

[Giant Killer]

Do you have any better reference images?

At the SB scale, accuracy at least for small parts like missiles and guns, looks to be a balance between accurate scaling of an image and making it "look good". Based on all the pictures I have found the one used as a reference appears fairly accurate and provided a perfect side-view for conversion to SB scale pixel art.

I am planing on using this missile for a Personal Design I'm working on, so any feed back on the drawing itself would be appreciated.

[klagldsf]

Well, to be honest it probably works just as well as anything else at this scale.

If you could find a way to eliminate the double black line that would help a lot of the looks. Also, the wing should have a different profile on the stowed and the in flight drawing.

Thanks for the feedback

I fixed the tail profile and eliminated the dark grey line (double line). Should I post this elsewhere? Parts Sheet Discussion Thread? I don't want to highjack Karle94's American Frigate thread?

BTW the LRASM uses the VL-ASROC booster, not the Tomahawk booster.

Karle, you want a 2014 US design
At DEFEXPO 2014, the international Defence exhibition currently held in New Delhi, Indian shipyard PIPAVAV unveiled its new "Naval Offshore Patrol Vessel" design. The basic design of this new type of OPV was outsourced to a US based ship design company.
