Been many a month since I’ve posted, or built much of anything, decided to get
back on the horse with a little Crimson Skies action, though .space is my
prefered place, which is why I’m cross-posting.
So, here’s the Tomahawk
And the full folder
(once moderated)
Started out with the engine and the rest went together in a couple of nights,
I wanted something small, overpowered and very manuverable - possibly an
interceptor. Getting the cockpit and tail down to an acceptable size was the
most difficult part.
Points of interest:
I really like the the wing tips :)
The rotating canard was fun, but in reality shouldn’t have that lage a range
of motion. At least it IS limited so it won’t spin all the way around.
The
landing gear wasn’t intended to fold up, but it turned out doing so nicely.
Most of the detailing is on the underside, especially the scoops... intercoolers
maybe?
Added the twin cannons after the main machine guns, too much maybe for
a plane this size, but I’d guess they don’t get used much.
Actually my ulterior motve for this planes creation was to make something to
photograph with my new (used) digital camera - Nikon Coolpix 995 definitely
works better on details than the old Kodak I used to borrow from work :)
I also thought it would be interesting to show a size comparison to a previous
Crimson Skies Fighter I made, the
C Bar One. Definitely
had some fun making the “in-flight” picture :)
And the full folder

The Tomahawk looks like a lot of fun. I mean, its overpowered, maneuverable,
and fairly well armed, what more could you want? It definitely has an
interceptor feel to it. I really like the huge engine, and the color scheme is
quite stylish. My only complaint is the tailfins, I don’t think they should be
upside down and backwards like that. It just looks to weak to me. But other
than that its a nice MOC!

Glad you liked most of it anyway ;)
Wasn’t sure if the color scheme would work out, initially wanted more dark grey
and less black, but we work with what we have eh?
And as for the tailfins... I’ve
done them
before and I’ll
probably do em again... I think they look kind of kinky backwards like that :)
Different strokes for different folks after all.
Anyways, Thanks for the reply!
