WTF is a MQ-10A Kodiak?

[+Zurawski 33]

"THIS" is a MQ-10A Kodiak...

 

Yeah, I know everyone loves the historically accurate stuff but I needed something to kick-start my creative juices!

 

Okay... think A-10 Warthog had a one-night stand with a Predator Drone. It's kind of a UAV tank if you will...

 

Has the ability to pack a lot of power and oh, did mention?... It also VTOLs.

 

Working on a pit right now (Very VR / Tron'ish)

 

Anyway... enjoy the pics!

I have been secretly testing this thing and its a regular Barney Badass. Wait til you see it.

[+Spectre_USA 7]

Does it look anything like the PZL Skorpion?

 

From the verbal description, that is what my mind's eye is conjuring,

 

That, a few other things I shant describe in public...

For some reason I've been wondering about a Pred in SF2 but I guess this'll so WTF is a MQ-10A Kodiak?

[+daddyairplanes 8,609]

[+Zurawski 33]

[+EricJ 3,929]

Nice

[+Spectre_USA 7]

Holy-schmoley, that is cool as crap!

 

 

Your verbal description was very accurate, and what a lethal looking craft it is.

 

Do you have the front sensor tied to the usual pilot's head movement routine?

Actually I created it as a gunner station so it would actually track enemy targets...

 

Thanks for the kudos! Just having fun...

[Bravo2009 2]

[dast24 138]

WOW really cool. Want it!

it looks like a klingon bird of prey......at least a bit

You planning a fighter Variant?

[johnrey 0]

Wooooooooooot!

that's nice.

 

wish there was a cockpit though.

[SayethWhaaaa 245]

Loving it! Dunno why, but it keeps reminding me of the Peacemaker UCAV from the movie Deal of the Century.

[Silverbolt 104]

it would be nice to have a gun on it just like the A-10 hehehe

 

but i think it would fit fine with KF-2 guns

 

 

[dast24 138]

if you look closely you can see that this "thing" has a gun between the main wheels.

Do you mean "cockpit" as seen from the external model or do you mean "cockpit" as in actual virtual cockpit? There is an actual physical cockpit being worked on as we speak (well, as I type actually)... Because it is ultimately a UAV I originally was going to go with just a CRT display as if you are sitting at a console flying it... Instead I've gone with what I can best describe as a "projected virtual cockpit". Think "TRON"...

 

As so far it's quite effective and gives you visual que as to your orientation at the same time being very "minimalist"

 

Once I get a little further along I'll post some pics of the pit.

 

If it's an external pit, actually if you look closely I made the nose in such a way that I "could" do a manned varient if there was enough calling...

Any chance of a Reaper or Predator? Just askin...

[+PureBlue 71]

Nice!

Very creative work Zur!

Color me silly but I thought they were already made?

 

LOL!

 

Just like me to re-invent the wheel when the cart hasn't even been put together...

 

No promises but neither bird would be all that difficult to model.

[+EricJ 3,929]

Fair enough.
