GreenDragon Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 After the kits of the Space Wolf SW190 from Captain Harlock and the Santa Cruz Seaplane from The Princess And The Pilot the next in the Creator Works series is a JASDF forward-swept wing/canard jet fighter with thrust vectoring nozzle from the Ace Combat:Assault Horizon video game. I don't know what it's called because it's all in Japanese but it's a looker! http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/hp/catalog.../cw3/index.html Want several myself but doubt I can afford it!

Enzo the Magnificent Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 that's very interesting. But I'm puzzled about some design aspects. Why the dorsal intake and normal intakes? Do the normal intakes provide airflow when the dorsal intake is masked by the nose during tight turns? And there are weapons bays on the lower surfaces which have stealth-type doors, but all stealthiness in compromised by that humungous missile load under the wings!

cmatthewbacon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Don't forget... in game and movie aircraft design, there's an entirely different science of coolodynamics at work... More intakes, more canards and moving surfaces (especially drooping wingtips), forward sweep... these are always better! Plus many, many weapons! bestest, M.

Screech Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I hate to tell you this but...........its not real! Julien, it's not???Oh great, here I thought the Japanese gave up on the F-35 program and built their own Fifth Gen Fighter. Gotta admit that kit looks kinda cool though!

GreenDragon Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Found out that it's called the ASF-X Shinden II via naoto over at Starship Modeler and he posted a link to a book on the plane too. http://ga.sbcr.jp/mgapr/019603/ Paul Harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
