Reintroducing the NightHawk
After Mod
Thanks to some helpful criticism from the Grand Admiral, I sat down and
revised the NightHawk.
Originally I felt it was maybe “too futuristic” for
Crimson Skies, and while the changes didn’t blunt the sharp eges of the ship
much, if Gil Shaws sweet little
Arctic
Guardian fits into CS, I think the NightHawk does too.
Whatever the case,
I like the plane better than I did
before, AND it’s even more
swooshable!
The main changes:
•Different guns
•Removed the rear
“rudders”
•Added the extended and moveable “wingtips”
•Toned down the missiles
•Moved the headlights slightly
•Redesigned the drop tanks
•Altered the landing gear

A definite working out of the design to a smoother product that fits into the
Crimson Skies category, if perhaps on the futuristic like the Guardian.
The only other thing I could think of is to give the underside a little more
substance. Not in detialing as your weapons do a great job of that, but perhaps
some inverted slopes to create a belly of sorts...just looks a little flat.
I quite like the colour scheme too!
Great rebuild!
Cheers,
