Post your real life or almost real life 'planes here!

[CrisK]

It has been done before and will be done again, but here's my attempt at the f-22 Raptor.

This version has tail winglets controlled by IR.

This is great, clown_baby!

I have a EuroFighter and another F22 Kraptor with a fold out and extending IR weapon bay.

What! These are incredible, Darren9. Did you create custom models for these? What mods/part packs were used?

Edit: any chance that you two would share craft files?

Ilyushin IL-62

Lockheed L-1011

Predator Drone

I also had an MD-11, Boeing 747-400, Airbus A340, and C-5 Galaxy, but I lost all the screenies already (all done around 2-4 years ago)

F - 22

[EdusacconBR]

Heres my SR-71 reaches over 1000m/s with 2 turbojets

[vinster7]

My sorta replicas of them... Wing tends to lift up a bit inflight because the hinge is quite small but it flies pretty good.

F4U Corsair

[blowfish]

Another F-22 replica:

Performs relatively well at high AoA, thanks to the leading edge root extensions and slats

Maybe not that high...

Concorde:

Has some trouble getting off the runway, but that's mainly an issue of tail clearance - even with BahamutoD's adjustable landing gear I can't get it very high off the ground.

[nestor_d]

I made this MiG-29

[Wjolcz]

I made a Global Hawk and Predator drones' crossover. One manned, one unmanned.

You can also see a LF/O rocket booster. Something that was planned in Me 262, AFAIK. Though my version was pretty poor and gave only about 20m/s of additional speed.

Bonus edit: He 162D inspired aircraft.

And my favorite of all, simply because of how Kerbal it is, a Blohm und Voss BV 141:

All four aircraft use TweakScale, and the BV 141 uses KAX. Constructive criticism is welcome.

I made a generic WWII Propeller fighter plane (unarmed) with the D-25 Radial Engine from KAX. It actually looks like SBD Dauntless dive bomber we (America) used in WWII. It flies like a dream (to me), can take off at under 50 or so m/s, and is awesome. Sadly the engine no longer makes sound for some reason. ;.;

I've been trying to recreate the Do-335 with those engines (otherwise using stock parts). It flies, but is nowhere near as maneuverable as the actual plane was supposed to be, and it literally takes me all the way until the edge of the shore to actually get off the ground (at which point, I'm only going around 105m/s, at full thrust).

No C-130 love?

 

Here's some of the variations on the C-130 I've made with an eye towards making it a spaceplane. Ideally, it uses the KAX 3-blade props to get up to about 10K meters, then activates the armpit-mounted dual-mode rocket engines. I work on C-130's in real life, and wanted to see my plane in space.

[The Moose In Your House]

The Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II is a single-seat, twin turbofan engine, straight wing jet aircraft developed by Fairchild-Republic for the United States Air Force (USAF). Commonly referred to by the nicknames Warthog or Hog, its official name comes from the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, a World War II fighter that was effective at attacking ground targets. The A-10 was designed for close air support (CAS) of friendly ground troops, engaging armored vehicles and tanks, and providing quick-action support against enemy ground forces. It entered service in 1976 and is the only production-built aircraft that has served in the USAF that was designed solely for CAS. Its secondary mission is to provide forward air controller â airborne (FAC-A) support, by directing other aircraft in attacks on ground targets. Aircraft used primarily in this role are designated OA-10.
The A-10 was intended to improve on the performance of the A-1 Skyraider and its poor firepower. The A-10 was designed around the 30 mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon. Its airframe was designed for durability, with measures such as 1,200 pounds (540 kg) of titanium armor to protect the cockpit and aircraft systems, enabling it to absorb a significant amount of damage and continue flying. Its short takeoff and landing capability permits operation from airstrips close to the front lines, and its simple design enables maintenance with minimal facilities. The A-10 served in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm), the American intervention against Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, where the A-10 distinguished itself. The A-10 also participated in other conflicts such as Operation Urgent Fury in Grenada, the Balkans, Afghanistan, Iraq, and against ISIL in the Middle East.

i kinda like my CF-100 replica. 

[Speeding Mullet]

I've made three recently, and am quite enjoying making replica aircraft instead of going to space for a while.

Here's A Very Personal Jet, based on the Maverick Personal Jet:

 

Here's my Beriev Be-10 Flying Boat Replica:

 

And the hardest to make of the three, the Bartini Beriev VVA-14 VTOL Ekranoplan:

Built a replica of SubSonex tiny jet plane.

 

 

[The Optimist]

P-152 High Performance Fighter, modeled after the TA 152, itself a variation of the FW 190.

I made the IAI Lavi, a cancelled Israeli prototype (thread)

I have replicated the Saab J-29! 

the nose section was a pain to do........
