    Northrop 3A

    Hello everyone! Despite being a prototype fighter, the Northrop 3A was not successful, and I didn't find much material about it. I think it would be interesting to have a topic about it. The Northrop 3A was powered by an air-cooled, supercharged, 1,535.387-cubic-inch displacement (25.160...

Attached below are some reference photos of the Aiguillon in the Swiss air force museum in Dübendorf. I took the photos when I went...

    Blackburn B.44

    This plane didnt get far than a fullscale mockup, before cancelled. A very interesting plane though, with its flying boat retractable hull on a fighter.. I made it in foamboard at 1150mm wingspan, with landingear retracts for hull, and sponsoons. And of course a counter rotating prop system...

    Arsenal VB.10
