    No, I haven't read it, but you've got me curious now so I'd love to hear the explanation.

    Here it is, Bossman.

    Finally got around to doing more work on the VF-21. I'm happy with how it's coming.

    I'm not sure I can really explain that particular fic, as it is a Ranma crossover, beyond saying go read it, but the author has a sequel planned, and my idea is that with all the trouble Ranma seems to find, as an admiral, for chrissakes, she needs a bodyguard unit, which is codenamed Blackguard Squadron, flying the latest heavy variable fighter, the VF-4 Lightning III.

    I read a little of it, it was pretty well written. If the author decides to go with an idea like that, then it's fine to use my art for it too, if at least for inspiration.

    Here's an early preview of another plane I started today, as well as some good updates on the VF-21.

    ohh. I'm liking the shape of the new one. It'll be interesting to see where you take it.

    In later chapters, it's mentioned that the VFA-6 Alpha Fighter was developed to fly from the new cruiser class that was developed. Anyway, my idea is just an extrapolation based on what little information regarding the sequel the author's let slip.

    Nice up dates on the YF-21 and looking forward to seeing the VF-19.

    Thanks, bbzw, blackbird. Here's a preview of something I'm working on for someone.

    Well that looks like the VA-3!
  • TalosTalos0 Posts: 0Member
    And that it would be!

    I've been going back and updating the F-31s I did. I'm redoing the USAF gray one, but I did update it still.

    Nice work on the F-31's, those would be cool Aggressor aircraft for the Air Force.
  • TalosTalos0 Posts: 0Member
    Thanks, blackbird. Yeah, that was my thinking. I figure that if the Air Force trained them to be able to beat F-31s in a dogfight, then they'd be able to fight anything less-maneuverable.

    I redid my VF-0A/B/D/S, cleaning them up and standardizing them. I also added the VF-0C, which Hasegawa just made a model of.

    nice.

    I like that scheme you have for the German(?) VF-4s! Is that based on anything or is it your own concoction?

    German bf-109 ww2 paint scheme
  • TalosTalos0 Posts: 0Member
    It's actually the scheme of Erich Hartmann's JG 71 Richtofen on the Canadair version of the F-85 Sabre back in the 1950s/1960s. The tulips are from Hartmann's Bf-109 during the war though, the whole wing wore them on the Sabre in his honor.

    I had one of those days where I couldn't get anything I wanted done, art-wise, but I did manage to work on some stuff. Enough to show an update, at least.

    The fate of many of the surviving VF-4 Lightning III variable fighters was to be converted into target drone QVF-4 Ghost Lightnings. The majority of these were destroyed in weapons tests for the VF-9, VF-11, VF-14, VF-17, and VB-6 programs. The remnants of the previous markings, SVF-103 Sluggers, can still be seen on the rudder and beneath the cockpit.

    Two variations of the SVF-33 Starfighters.

    All I've had to say about these is over on Macrossworld.

    I got a little bit more work done on the VA-3A today. Not as much as I'd like, but it's getting there.
