+Julhelm Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Make it the original delta canard variant without the ventral fins.
+Veltro2k Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Make it the original delta canard variant without the ventral fins. ? this one ?
+Julhelm Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 There is a whole chapter devoted to F-108 in American Secret Projects: Fighters & Interceptors 1945-1978 You'd do well to pick that up as well as the companion volume on bombers.
+Veltro2k Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Thank you Jules. I hope I would be able to purchase a PDF version.
+FastCargo Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Also, another good reference is Valkyrie: North American's Mach 3 Superbomber...pretty much considered the definitive reference for the Valkyrie and F-108 (except for maybe the massively expensive and VERY rare VALKYRIE: THE NORTH AMERICAN XB-70: The USA's Ill-fated Supersonic Heavy Bomber). I have Julhelm's book and the first book above, an article from Airpower that a friend of mine gave me, a 1/72 scale model, and the Standard Aircraft Characteristics page ( http://www.alternatewars.com/SAC/SAC.htm ) done by our own MKSheppard that I used as references. Plus whatever else I've found on the internet that was actually correct. FC
+Julhelm Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I find the Secret Projects books to be entertaining for the sheer volume of oddball designs featured in them. Once I get a fulltime job I'm going to order a truckload of new books.

+Veltro2k Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Heh. That would actually a be a picture of my F-108A that I gave to TopGun over at the CivIII forums to use for his mods for CivIII. No one get their panties in a bunch...Ed's Rapier is significantly different from mine. Just letting folks know there are two separate F-108s in development. FC 2 weeks ?
+ghostrider883 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 update Looking good Veltro . The Vikrant Battle Group in the Arabian Sea waits for her arrival Thanks to Wrench's persisent hard work, we'll soon have an Indian CBG on the Indo-Pak map.
+Veltro2k Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 I have been practicing with 3D MAX Mapping. using the unwrap UV to allign everything..bigest problems is the fuselage and stitching
