Reminds me of a super Fairey Battle too.
It's quite a long aircraft and I was wondering if the vertical tail area might be a tad small for directional stability etc? Still, the Mk.2 could fix that!

Thanks for the kind words :)

@Hood - I think you have a good point. I just did a quick comparison with the Fairey Battle and proportionately the tail area is only slightly smaller - so I think the Mk1 would be workable - but with a more powerful engine in the Mk2 I imagine it would become more of an issue. I shall look into it!

Both the Thunderstroke and the Monsoon look great, and will be appearing in RBAF service! :D
Brilliant work as always, and I hope to see some later variants of these aircraft soon ;)
Can you give any hints as to what new aircraft we can expect next?

Thanks :)
I can't give too many hints because I generally just draw whatever I feel like at the time, but I do have a couple of more modern aircraft/tanks not far from being finished...

Looking forward to seeing them when they're finished ;)

Now for something modern while I finish the upgraded versions of the Monsoon and Thunderstroke:

There isn't much information in the B side I'm afraid because I still haven't quite figured out how Recherche history in this time frame will pan out...

I'd really love to see three-views of these fictional designs. FD scale is IMO very lazy when it comes to this. Aircraft are traditionally shown with the three views available.

I've discovered the opposite, I put a shed load of effort into laying down a top view on an aircraft before doing the side view then get stumped and give up... That said, it does look an interesting design, like a Jag mixed with a Hornet.
