Re: FD AU 2
Those B-16s are simply amazing, Nighthunter. I'd have gone a slightly different direction with the tail/fuselage join, but even so, the end result is awesome.
For my Misc AU fighter, I cobbled together a variety of parts, the Mitsubishi A5M Claude forming the basis, with the tail of a Severski P-35, the canopy of a neverbuild Spanish fighter, and lastly the cowling from an Aarado 196. What was surprising was how well the pieces joined together to give a different flavored aircraft. At the time, I was interested in fighters with fixed landing gear, so kept that feature. The fighter was originally intended for a non-Earth setting.
I do agree, it does look rather much like the PZL-45, through an odd coincidence. I was thinking of giving it similar armament, two .30 in cowling, and two in the wings. The uprated version would have had 4 x .30s, all in the wings.

We can't stop here--this is Bat country!
If it's close enough to cast a shadow, I think the flying house wins initiative.
Bronies are like the Forsworn. Everyone agrees that they are a problem but nobody wants to expend the energy rooting them out.
"That is a very graphic analogy which aids understanding wonderfully while being, strictly speaking, wrong in every possible way."

Great B-16's nighthunter!
I've not posted for a while, but here are some fictional Embraer E-jets for what may become some of the newest countries in Europe in future (although I'm not here to talk politics!). I'm pretty happy with the results and may try doing a few more. What do you guys think?

So, as I mentioned before, Shade and I were building an otherworld AU, for purely personal reasons, and these are the aggressors I came up with:

Re: FD AU 2
Nice liveries indiajuilet. Those two fighters also look very nifty nighthunter. The V-29B reminds me of the CAC Buffalo crossed with an MS.406.

Thanks for the comments. Here comes another installment of aircraft from newly independent states, but this time for military aircraft.
