+Julhelm 266 Posted April 18, 2008 No, if we stick to tradition it should be named the "Retaliator". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viggen 644 Posted April 18, 2008 F-29 Lynx :) I like that. Lynx sounds cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silverbolt 104 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) Get a life guys, play some ace combat! anyway, thats my suggestion, F-29 Wyvern Edited April 18, 2008 by Silverbolt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk MMS 0 Posted April 18, 2008 If it were an operational fighter I don't see it being adapted for carrier/naval ops. F-5 and F-16 aren't naval type fighters and it falls in line with them more than any of the naval jet fighters. You would be more apt to naming it along the Air Force lines as mentioned before. Bird of Prey names more appropriate. I still think naming it after a knife, or sharp blade weapon would be physically more descriptive but, I digress.

eraser_tr 29 Posted April 18, 2008 Well every fighter northrop-grumman made has been named after a cat. I vote for Lynx. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fubar512 1,350 Posted April 18, 2008 Well every fighter Northrop-Grumman made has been named after a cat. I vote for Lynx. You mean "every Navy fighter"....if you want to get technical, the Northrop F-17 was named the 'Cobra', the F-5 'The Freedom Fighter'. The F-20 was named after a fish.... Which leads me to this idea: How about resurrecting fighter names from WWII? Warhawk II, Cobra II, (etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted April 18, 2008 Just save Mustang II for the F-31 And I saw Manta somewhere for the F-32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I threw together all of my plane drawings into scale a couple days ago after a friend asked. My F-29 Lynx is there too, but not the F-31 Peregrine I did this morning. A question though, Dels. Are you planning on putting in F-5-style cannons in the nose? Edited April 18, 2008 by Talos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk MMS 0 Posted April 19, 2008 The WWII idea is a good one. I mean the F-35 is the Lighning II. Good idea. Name all of the X mods after WWII planes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have replaced them with a M61 in the lower right side of the nose. Let me take the time now to make this disclaimer: As this aircraft never went into service and consequently was never fitted with weapons etc. I have taken some artistic licence. If anyone is overly miffed by this, I'm happy to discuss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might steal it (with credits of course, lol), for a stretched Super F-29 I'm working on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+EricJ 4,245 Posted April 19, 2008 Howabout an F-16/X-29 combo that some have theorized back in the 80's? That's an idea for the future... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talos 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks a bunch, Dels, I'll more then likely go with something like this on mine. You have almost the exact pylon arrangement that I was thinking about, nice to see that it'll fit under the wing. Keep up the awesome work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
