Has anyone done a Kaman SH-2G Super Seasprite?

[klagldsf]

Not only has it been done, but acelancelot "remastered" it when he redid the OHP (it's in the corresponding thread)

[nighthunter]

Klag, thats an SH-2F not an SH-2G, but the designs are based on each other.

[acelanceloet]

and it also wasn't me who redid it, I believe that was turrethead IIRC.....

very good ONI-Defense

Thanks, oh and a little heads up, that F-25 you asked for is coming up soon.

I have looked through what I can see and search for, but I have not been able to find any drawings for the F6F Bearcat and F7F Tigercat, two of the best piston engined fighters.

If they have been done I would appreciate a link, thanks.

[TimothyC]

Yeah, I've got them. Watch this space.

Now the F6F is the Hellcat, not the Bearcat, so I included all three (F6F, F7F, and F8F) on here:



We have another member who has done a rather nice coloration chart for the WW2 USN carrier planes:

Thank you TimothyC, much appreciated. I do have th US air chart saved. The new drawings of the Bearcat and Tigercat are great thanks.

Seeing the Hellcat and Bearcat together like that does show how much smaller the Bearcat was. It was supposed to be a 'lightweight' fighter but I had not realised just how much difference there was.

So. Well, I've finally picked up the gauntlet again, after last year's radar sets. Only this time, it's a plane.

The BAe P1216 ASTOVL aircraft. To be more precise, the #41 iteration, the one that came closest to production. It's a surprisingly small craft at 55.88 ft (17.03 m) in lenght

I'll fix up one or two armed versions later today, flip the whole thing around, and then it will be posted in the Planebucket thread.
