OFFICIAL ENTRY THREAD | 2022 MARCH MAYHEM CUSTOM AIRCRAFT CHALLENGE | MOTION RC

[Ralph Stepper]

Hi folks,

many thanks to James and the team to make this competition happen again this year!
And great honor personally to participate once more.

My contribution is a Freewing Me 262 V2, converted into a A2a Sturmvogel (stormbird) Blitzbomber, Bu.No. 110613 „9K+DK“ of 2^nd/KG 51, flown by Ofw. Hermann Wieczorek from Rheine-Hopsten airfield in February 1945.



Beside a full gear modification (100 degree front gear with 64 mm wheel and 85 mm main gear wheels as well as adding inner main gear doors) I did a full flap mod. (full flaps instead of stock split flaps) as well as a full cockpit re-do and numerous scale mods and additions (working nav. lights, SC 250 bombs, Riedel starter cones, antennas, ...).

Thanks to my club mate Hendrik for giving me an impressive photo shooting for this bird!

My Freewing 90mm F16 in Belgium Air Force 31st Squadron colours. Combination of vinyl, paint and airbrush.

It would be great if you would submit a photo of your F16 taken in sunshine with a an airfield backdrop as I think you would have a stunning photo that would attract many votes

Here's my F-14A NSAWC aggressor repaint!

Hey Airguardian—as Elvis would say, “Thank you, thank you very much.” 🎸

How about an Italian avanti?

That's a Hungarian flag, though...

Here’s my F4 Phantom in Swedish costume

Beautiful!

Canada is to decide this year between the JAS-39 and F-35 to replace our aging legacy Hornet fleet- this is my take on a Royal Canadian Air Force show demo Gripen. Paint is a combination of mixed latex brushed on and sprayed enamel with pastels used for light weathering and the graphics are from various internet sources. The cockpit is almost full depth (this limited by the battery underneath) and detailed throughout, as is the pilot.
Underwing weapon/ stores pylons were added and ferry tanks are fitted in the photo. A more scale nose gear door with light as well as landing lights mounted on the mains' struts (as per the full size) were done as well.
I also made functional, servo-driven leading edge flaps and speed brakes which are deployed in the landing configuration in the picture.
I wish more than one photo was allowed but thems the rules, so there she is! Cheers guys.

I Extended the fuselage of the AL37 to become a MAX -10. The antenna is a long range VTX antenna. The hole is one of two, one on either side for side view cameras. Hope you like it!

I see that only one picture will be used, so I’d like to enter this shot of the Freewing 70mm F-16 in the Portuguese flight squadron, decals and paint work where done by a fellow club member who is seriously talented, props to Mike from Mississauga model flying club in the Toronto area, Canada 🇨🇦

Love the plane....but surely you can do a better photo. Make it look like it's sitting on a runway ready to launch....low angle and up close.
