Shipbucket

We are getting near the end, this should be 2nd to last submition And also it took longer than I anticipated since my stubourness to follow historical path to the letter ended me up on crisis after realising that I propably wont be able to justify all those crazy 3rd generation deep-pentration strikers on 5 million strong little backwater warsaw pact member. Well those are saved for the next time, and I also begun my new Main Au to statisfy my needs to invent stuff.

Anways, the 1960s and 1970s (with Small incursions to the 80s)

Great series!
(though I have a feeling that vertical stabilizer of Vinha might be bit too small - in therms of chord - for a T-configuration).

Wow!! Amazing this VL HUMU!!
Good job!!

I need to recheck its dimensions. I originally planned proper 3-view presentation of this, but schedule of real life and other projects feels ATM bit crushing. Since this is one of those "stable" ideas I have had for this AU for years, in its various tablelocker forms, I can safely promise continue to working on it. The main idea has always been axialflow turbojet version of L-29 with bit of Fouga Magister aesthethics.

Fantastic work, the canopy colour looks spot on now.

I would say the vertical tail of the HUMU is probably too large, but if you're working off of real project plans then I understand why it might be that big.

Ive edited the Vinha drawing by giving it all new tail surfaces. The original was indeed rather Small, and as I begun to look closely it I realised to my shame, that the entire drawing was quite unfinished, and the tail was just placemark there, kitbashed from my other older drawing without any actuall finish for it

Of Humu's tail, those who are familiar with the never-were lore propably recognise the Aero B-34, of which was sort of starting point of the desing along with gnat. I begun working by reducing the huge tail of B-34 to more porpotiate one, with my armchair aircraft engineering knowledge

Brilliant work as always, I love the remade Floggers and Hips.

And here comes the last round. Took longer than i thought becouse real life issues and becouse of difficoulty to design and develop modern Jet aircrafts. This concludes this AU, thecnically, as its continution of the original Shipposting part from the earlier pages of this thread. I dont know if anyone else has completed AU scenario with this level of coverage, but for me this is the first time I've done Navy, Army and Air Forces for single scenario.
In practice, lot has been happened after posting those ships, and they have shrinked into the Photobucket oblivion anyways. Therefore I will continue this thread in the future whit new rounds of the ships, analog to the Army and Air Force part.

Excellent additions, I have really enjoyed all the ships, vehicles and aircraft. This is one of the best AUs we've seen.
