Nice work on X-31. :)

@Llamaman2
Not bad as a drawing, but I'm not quite convinced...

Btw. if any of You need to use any of Polish post-war designs, then I suggest You either just wait 'till I post them and therefore save Yourself some work (though that would mean You'd need a lot of patience), or simply ask - maybe I'll be willing to negotiate. ;)

Yeah, the engine cowling looks off and the FLIR turret is too big.

Comparing your gray colored drawing to the photograph, the front edge of
the engine cowling is the wrong angle, the propeller hub is the wrong size in
proportion to the engine, and yes, the FLIR turret is also off in size. But -- you
have done a great job of capturing the size and fuselage details on a very small
drawing. Keep at it - you are almost there.

Wow, after being silent for a while this thread is starting to pick up again!
Nice additions, the AW609 looks very goo, nice to see the XF-108 too.

Thanks for the critiques lads, the engine cowling was a bit of a sod. But the proposed production version of the HERTI would be based on the slightly bigger J6 motor glider, rather than the J5 in Eswube's pic:

You can see the twin spatted main wheels and unfeasibly large IIR turret here.

Compared to this photograph, your gray colored drawing is very good, but I think
that the propeller hub needs to be a bit smaller. Other than that, you have really
done a great job.
