Finished the *other* naval turboprop attack plane..
Its the Douglas A2D Skyshark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2D_Skyshark)
..while not such a slender beauty as the Wyvern its still an awesome design in its own right.

There's a database you know !

asioasioasio · Apr 14, 2008

Nice one!!! Good job.

Saschkin · Apr 14, 2008

Thanks Asio

..Snipperrabbit: last time i checked i wasnt allowed to use the database, as it seems i am now so im gonna put it all there when im back from work..

snipperrabbit!! · Apr 14, 2008

good news ! I hadn't checked your postcount, thought you were a veteran from civIII.

Saschkin · Apr 14, 2008

nope, civ2 actually

Nsftpoeopas · Apr 14, 2008

Sweet, it looks like an Skyraider/Skyknight mix. Good job.

Saschkin · Apr 14, 2008

Thanks

..she has pretty much the same airframe layout as the skyraider, but apart from that shes a completely unique plane..

The_Coyote · Apr 14, 2008

again a nice one

Xenomorph · Apr 16, 2008

That's a very good model, but I'm surprised you didn't choose the A-1 Skyraider instead.

snipperrabbit!! · Apr 16, 2008

Skyshark, Skynight, Skyraider ... Is there a Skywalker model by any chance ?

Saschkin · Apr 16, 2008

Thanks Coyote and Xenomorph

@Xeno: I chose this one because i dig exotic planes... ..and i want my civ games to have a more *what if* feel to them.. ..for further reasons google for some pics of this plane, it just looks cool...

@Snipper: If any remains of Douglas still exist in some centuries.. ..why not?

Then will we be seeing a Vought XF5U Flying Flapjack anytime soon?

Saschkin · Apr 17, 2008

lets just say i wont be running out of material in the near future..

Wolfshanze · Apr 17, 2008

What... no XB-70 Valkyrie?

Saschkin · Apr 17, 2008

...dont forget about the soviets.. :scared:

Xenomorph · Apr 17, 2008

You forgot the KM Kaspian Monster.

Saschkin · Apr 17, 2008

yea.. ..i was thinking about an amphibious assault ship class replacing the transport later on, this one could be a russian unique unit then...
...but then again theres also the Lun..

Xenomorph · Apr 17, 2008

That aircraft was part of the whole KM project that fell apart after the fall of the Soviet Union.

Saschkin · Apr 17, 2008

true, but they had different purposes, the KM iself was afaik only a testbed to see how big you can make a WIG craft, the Orlyonok was an amphibious landing craft and the Lun was made to attack carrier battle groups..
