Excellent modelling as always Jon, but having all three sets of wings swept forward just makes it look like a backwards-flying airplane - which simply makes me go "yuck" from an aesthetic point of view.

(...) Yes, Crimson Skies IS fictional, but it operates on the premise of an alternate earth reality and the level of technology is supposedly that of the WWII era. So even an alternate reality has to have physical and technological realism. That's (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.military, FTX)

I dunno, I think you're missing the point. This Crimson Skies stuff is purely fictional, and as a fictional plane straight out of Jon's imagination, this thing is damn cool.

Gotta agree with Dan, he hit the nail right on the head with that post. Despite employing SNOT techniques beautifully, this airplane seems to scrunched up.
