New Guy Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Hi guys, it's me again Just want to ask whether there were any X-31 on work or not. If not, maybe I'll try my hand @ modelling to make one. Thanks Quote
+Soulfreak Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 haven´t read anything about a wip X-31.... Quote
eraser_tr Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 I've got one underway but it's a stumpy pile O's**t, and its down on the list below the X-32 (which looks pretty good and about to start animating sometime this century) So if you think you can do it faster, feel free to, I work at a snails pace.

+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 Could you pls post some X-32 pics? Quote
Talos Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 This is one I actually started to fiddle with building. I've only started the fuselage so far, fortunately it's a really simple shape compared to most aircraft! I'll try and get some more work done on it tomorrow, hopefully enough to post. For inspiration, some of my F-31A Sparrowhawk drawings. Quote
eraser_tr Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Haven't really been many noticable changes since the first pics I showed people, mainly just organizational stuff with parts. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Looks ugly as the original do!!! Good work on this really and internal work is important and time consuming to.. haven start on my Mig-19 yet Quote
+ST0RM Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Eraser, nice work on the X-32. While ugly, I do like the later version that was to have tailplanes, revised wing and a different intake. -S Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 I like the first version.. looks more .. like a future fighter! Liked also the ATF X-32 version if someone remember? Quote
eraser_tr Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 The ATF one was modeled off the original X-32 concept. Strangely, lockheed had the designation X-32 when the program was JAST/CALF but it got transfered to Boeing for the JSF program. It looked like this windtunnel model in ATF, but with rounded intakes and slightly flatter looking Quote
New Guy Posted January 8, 2009 Author Posted January 8, 2009 Let's see if I can make the rest of my vacation worthy with this bird... Quote
zmatt Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 That looks like the F-35. I thought the X-32 had a chin air intake. Quote
eraser_tr Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Bad angles. The first pic apparently doesn't have the canards attached, but the second one does, its hard to see. I simply couldn't find a better image for the old concept design now that it's been finalized. From the top you can see its much different, big wings like the X-32, canards like the X-29 and exhaust nozzle like the X-32, but cockpit and fuselage like the X-35. Quote
i90807065 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Cool! Looks like a rpator but with some slight upgrades. Hope we can see that one eventually! Quote
+Timmy Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Eraser, nice work on the X-32. While ugly, I do like the later version that was to have tailplanes, revised wing and a different intake. -S Well - that eliminates one of the possibilities for my next project... Check this link out... Boeing Revised F-32 Quote
ronan Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Well - that eliminates one of the possibilities for my next project... Check this link out... Boeing Revised F-32 Wow.... it's even more uglyer dan the original X-32 Quote
+DWCAce Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 As much as I love Boeing, I'm glad they didn't win the JSF, it's too ugly... Quote
zmatt Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah the F-35 is a much easier on the eyes. The X-32 looks like the X planes from the 60's. Quote
+Timmy Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Yeah the F-35 is a much easier on the eyes. The X-32 looks like the X planes from the 60's. Perhaps I'm a lost soul but to me the F-35 is ugly. At least the X-32 and X-23 had character. The F-35 looks like two playing cards stuck on a popsicle. Give me that whale-mouthed beauty any day. Quote
+SkippyBing Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Give me that whale-mouthed beauty any day. You're a sick, sick man! Quote
Dload Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 (edited) ...the F-35 is ugly.Give me that whale-mouthed beauty any day. I agree! Finally, someone who thinks the same as me! Edited January 11, 2009 by Dload Quote
Viggen Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Everything except the landing gear and the helmet on the F-35 look good. Quote
