Bombcat's Ironworks

[Bombcat]

Thought I'd put up a thread for some of the mods I'm building which will one day see the light. All current projects are Birdfarm derivatives.

Current Projects:

Rockwell F-19 Dagger (WHAT-IF) American export oriented light fighter. Post-production (work by Bombcat, Animal, Iceman, Shutter)


Grumman F-24 Ocelot (WHAT-IF) American naval strike fighter, subscale tomcat derivative. F/A-18C size class. Advanced flight testing, could use some cockpit work (Bombcat)



Northrop Grumman F/A-36 Ghost Bat (WHAT-IF) American advanced naval strike fighter, F/A-XX design. Final configuration set, most components finished. (Bombcat, Animal)



Lockheed Martin F-35X Hellcat II (WHAT-IF) Forward swept wing derivative of the F-35A, optimized for dogfighting. From the comic book series "Titanium Rain". Simple blank, don't plan to do much more for it. (Bombcat)




Grumman F-14D Tomcat "Paper Doll" (paint) F-14D painted in commemorative colors for the 100th anniversary of American Naval Aviation. Painted as "Paper Doll", an F6F-5 Hellcat of VF-27. Complete.

Keep tabs on this one folks, things like epic.dnm are born here

[Phoenix]

beware, if Bombcat is making one, it will be unbeatable.

[Bombcat]

As you can now see, all my current projects are at least in some stage of flight testing. There's always something else hiding in a folder somewhere.
I like what-if stuff, and kit bashing. The single seat mini-Tomcat is something I've had in mind for a while now, so when Animal suggested it last night, I jumped on it.

Bad news, good news, and a little bad news, folks. My computer died yesterday, and so I decided it was about time for a replacement. I was able to get nearly all my work from the backup files, but I had not yet backed up my work on the Ocelot. I've got some mid-construction copies, however, and so while I'll be off my modding game for a few weeks or so, all the projects in this thread shall see the light of day, Fortunately, Animal and Iceman were in possession of copies of the F-19 Dagger DNM which are most likely more advanced then my own, and this little issue should not interfere with that project in any significant fashion.

[Iceman]

How is the new rig, good sir?

[Animal]

Probably still getting it set up the way he wants it.

Always my least favorite portion of having a new computer. Its like having a new stiff wallet. Doesnt feel right till you get it properly broken in.

[Bombcat]

There is no real explanation. It just sort of happened, while working on the F-24 Ocelot. Right now, it's called the F-24XXX Archangel.



And yes. That is a 155mm cannon on the belly.

[Philster]

Never seen so many guns on one plane. Good job. Can't wait to see more progress.

Gloriously Twisted

[Crazypilot]

Bombcat you the MAN!

[Gunny]

Fire all the guns at once and watch it fly back wards until you fire the 155.
The muzzle blast alone will stop it in mid-flight and scramble the pilots brain from concussive force

[Justen Not Relevent]

the kick from the 155 would probably tear the plane in half

A production model of the Archangel, a little more rationally armed - the F/A-40 Nyancat, with appropriate tail art. Internal weapons include two GAU-12 25MM cannons, and possibly an internal weapons bay for up to 6 AIM-120s.



The descent into madness continues.

The OAH-79 Mandan light scout/attack helicopter is a competitor for the OH-58 replacement program. With cost as a driving factor, the Bell-Boeing team selected the OH-58 Kiowa platform as the basis for their advanced helicopter. Building on Sikorsky's success with the X-2, Bell selected a twin rotor-pusher configuration for high speed and enhanced hot-high performance. The Mandan attracted considerable attention from the USMC, which saw the fast scout as a potential escort for the MV-22 assault transports and a cheap supplement to the troubled F-35B in the close air support role.
