I need some suggestions

[TheKorbinjer]

For those of who do not know who I am, I build scale replica aircraft (stock and modded) all of the time, and lately, I've run out of ideas.

The purpose of this post is that maybe someone browsing the forums will throw me a suggestion to build because I've really run low on things to build.

Things I have built

C5 Galaxy, Q400, BF109G, Piaggio P-180 Avanti, F18, F35, F22, F16, F15, C-17, 747, B2, SR-71, F4U Corsair, XP-55 Ascender, Do-335, B52 Superfortress, Bell X-1, X-15, Cessna Caravan, Cessna Citation X, Piper Cherokee, F82 Twin Mustang, Wright Flyer, 787 Dreamliner, A-10 Warthog, Avro Canada CF-105, Avro Vulcan,  F5 Tiger, F86 Sabre, Eurofighter Typhoon, Embraer ERJ 145,  F104 Starfighter, Vampire FB5,  YF-12A, SU-47, SU-25, SU-27, SU-34, ME-262, Concorde. etc...

Please, whoever reads this, suggest something.

 

As always

Take care!

Google drive had all my saves, I added those because I don't want to build them again.

@TheKorbinjer

When I run low on ideas, I do look at a few websites I am more than happy to share with you.

• Historic Aircraft
• List of Experimental Aircraft (with pictures)
• Fighter planes under development (Defense Aviation)

If you need other sources, I can list those, too. I hope they help provide some inspiration.

b-17, b-29, Sopwith Camel, AeroCar, Spruce Goose, Spirit of St louis. 

Just go to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum website and look at the exhibits they have.   Same with the USAF museum at Wright Pat in Dayton.

AN-225 Mriya?

I was just thinking the same.  Also, the Seattle Museum of Flight.

They have this, which might not look like much, but would be an interesting challenge to build.

I didn't see a F-14 Tomcat on that list; the swing wings might be challenging..

Maybe an X-29?

I just built the B29 a few hours ago, the spruce goose i built in RSS, i forgot to add it. Behemoth, it was. I'll try the Sopwith Camel.

I touched up on the F14, but I wasn't able to create wings that could sweep and go straight again. I'll try the X-29 though!

@TheKorbinjer since you don't want your computer murdered, try doing a Hawker Typhoon

[bigcalm]

BV 141 - https://www.militaryfactory.com/aircraft/detail.asp?aircraft_id=781 .  I tried to build this.  I did get it off the ground.  The pilot survived, the plane didn't.

I don't see a J-35 Draken, could be an interesting little plane to build.

Y E S I LOVE WEIRD LOOKING PLANES!

What about the hated BV-238? Maybe i'll touch that thing some other day, I feel like the part count would be too high for that beast.

It looks like something from KSP that accidentally got built in the real world. The air intakes are almost separated from the aircraft. 

[KevinW42]

How about a Caproni Ca.60?

[RizzoTheRat]

How about a Goblin and b36 combo? 

 

Or see if you can do the full set of Burt Rutan's designs 

[HeliosPh0enix]

Maybe try the P-39 Airacobra or P-63 Kingcobra.  Interesting WWII fighters with a tricycle landing gear design and a unique nose shape.

Another funky thing with them was the mid-engine (like a supercar) construction.

Engine behind the pilot and a long shaft to a tractor propeller, leaving room (and weight) for heavy guns in the nose.

A380?

The beluga or supper guppy could be a nice challenge too
