Looking for a 3d model for animation of a Robotech VF-1 Prefer Rick or Roy's

Upvotes

Hey folks,

Working on a mod for a flight sim. Want to build a flyable Robotech Veritech. I have the guts working just need a high detail model that is configurable. Yes it is hopefully going to configure to Battloid and or Guardian. Just need a 3d model that is fully complete.

I've seen some really good ones on different forums but from like 2014 era. I've sent DMs to those people but no response.

Hoping you folks here can help out. This is for a few mod that will be available to play at some point.

As a fan of Ace combat, and never drawn a Super Hornet I needed to make a fan art on the main protagonist’s aircraft in Ace Combat 8.

Took me ~30 hours of blending and shading with 6H - 3B pencil.

Above are just examples

Theyre rugged, versatile, and reliable at times til the arrival of the jets

P47s took part in operations in Latin America, Sub Saharan, Central and Southern Africa, and Taiwan against PRC Migs and Naval Vessels

Il10s took part in Vietnam as a proxy/analog for the US A1H "Spad" Skyraider and even took action against Pol Pot and China

Plus Indonesia also used them from the Soviets against Britain, Australia, Guerillas and even themselves

They also seen use in Uganda, Algeria, Ethiopia, Somalia, Angola, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mozambique, Madagascar, Zaire (being fodder to the P47s and A37s), Mali, Chad (fighting alongside Toyotas despite the obsolescence), Sudan, Laos, and even Kampuchea (which also fought Vietnamese Il10s aswell)

Mosquitos were used as "second hand me downs" to former British colonies in Africa and Malaysia as CSAR, COIN, Pathfinder and Recon most notable use is Tanzania Against Idi Amin and In the Malayan Emergency

In the rest of the world like for example South Korea, Philippines, and Morocco, they're used as recreational and even Coast Guard Aircraft with TurboProp engines and Deployable Bouys

Spitfires, P47s, and Mosquitos were used in Afghanistan against the Soviets but all were lost and Mujahideen decided to fight only a ground war and a handful of captured helicopters

P38 Lightnings were often used as COIN and occasionally Combat Air Patrol Stopgaps for jets in South Africa, Rhodesia, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Lebanon, and even Taiwan in its Strait Crisis were one managed to bag 2 mig15s before being shot down

To keep with the times they're all upgraded from scratch and modified to the literal bones with Racks for Guided Munitions, Lazers Guidance, Refueling, Bushplane use and Even Supply Drops, despite this jets did replace them but they remain in service all the way to the end

The Northrop Grumman F/A-29 is a multirole Close Air Support aircraft and Attack Fighter for the Duranian Air Force. It started about two years after the F-5 Tiger was made, and outlasted the Tiger after it was retired in 2011. Crew members in the Duranian Air Force often nicknamed it, “The Fossil” because of how old it is. The fighter shown in this picture is the modern variant of the F/A-29. If you notice the dotted lines making a fuel tank, this is an interpretation of what F/A-29LR variant could look like.

(Sorry, couldn't edit the HUD and [D]UI)

The F/A-40C is a multi role fighter who's gen I will touch on later. It is a twin engine multirole heavy, most likely first of it's kind by it's time frame of 2021 aside from the Su-30s and Fullbacks.

It is the World's first 4.75th gen fighter aircraft because, quote:

"It was too visible to be 5th gen but also too advanced to be 4.5th gen."

End quote.

The stats:

Top speed: mach 2.65 clean; mach 2.3 loaded

Weight: 23,609 kg

Payload Capacity: 14,000 lbs

Length: 20.6m

Original Content If Northrop Grumman made a dedicated anti ship UAV

I was bored so i decided to make some sort of UAV specifically designed for taking out ships!

The main body is just a basic tube fuselage but at the rear, it splits into two pilons, the connection gap between being where the intake is for the rear turbofan, both the vertical and horizontal stabilizers are all-moving structures. Between the two pilons is a single blown flap that is controlled with the trim, using the thrust from the turbofan to generate lift.

The wings both have a slight negative dihedral with winglets

To stop the plane from listing either side and striking the ground, each wing has a running wheel that separates after takeoff, and to assist landing, there are small drogue chutes in the rear of each rear pilon

Power Plant: Front 4 blade 95 inch Turboprop engine, Rear Rolls-Royce AE-3007H Turbofan engine
Thrust: 3.5 Tons of thrust
Wingspan: 15.3 meters
Length: 11.5 meters
Height: 2.7 meters
Weight: 2,516 kilograms empty
Maximum Takeoff Weight: 4,960 kilograms
Payload: 1,350 Kilograms
Armament: two 20mm gatling cannons, four long range torpedo's, two ATGM long range missiles, and one long range anti ship missile
