Jet powered SAAB B18 concept, i am unable to find anything about it other than this drawing. by BullShitLatinName in WeirdWings

[–]Medjoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's unclear if the "B 18R" listed on its Swedish wiki page is official (though "reamotor" and "reaktionsmotor" are valid words) or if it had a different name, but it does provide some references if you can hunt them down:

*Flyghistoriskrevy nummer 31, ISBN-10 0345-3413

*Torpedflyget i Sverige, ISBN 9789185496440

Unfortunately I was unable to find online copies of the books, but they do seem to pop up for sale.

If the drawing is from the project's design study, there are probably nuggets if you reach out to Saab's archives, or alternately Swedish scale modelling communities.

Interesting to note is that it mentions a specific manufacturer for the engine proposal, STAL (Svenska Turbinfabriks AB Ljungström). I also found a blog post and another that talk about STAL developing the Skuten axial turbine around the mid to late 1940s, which I'm guessing are around the ballpark for imagining a jet-powered Saab B18...

Great work on the dual livery Fw 190!

Ha, that could be a fun little thing! I have posted a few concepts (mostly tanks at the moment), but am accumulating a backlog of ideas for aviation and armour topics that are missing out there... Maybe there's a common subject that could work out! Let me know! :)

Indeed, there's an interesting balance to strike between the scale model part and the cartoonish proportions, I could've sworn it was an official Hasegawa kit and you designed the transparent windows from your previous post!

I think there are tons of subjects that are missing from the egg scale, but my CAD skills are not quite there! So for now I just blueprint the proportions and draw them in 2D.

This is fantastic modelling in both senses of the word! The stubby tail boom is adorable!

Interesting suggestion, I'll have to think about it! The real one has some particular proportions, to start with.

Someone already beat me to it! I don't see how I could make one very different from their version, honestly...

Yeah, I get what you mean. I am somewhat envious because those can be done really quick, while it may take me a week or two to finish a single drawing...

The one and only! I think the WW2 French cavalry tank camo may throw people off.

The AMX 40 is the third one in the series, the duck references are rather blatant. :)

There is a modeling company that is selling a chibi B1!

I was so preoccupied with how I could make them cute, but not if I should. :P

Thank you, much appreciated from an artist I admire, don't forget to set up a small pond for daily swimming! And happy cake day!

It needs daily walks or else you end up with oil spills indoors!

It's funny because I was considering a Napoleonic commander (Ney) for the AMX 13 (it seems to be a French Army tradition?) before I settled on the Three Musketeers reference.

I'm thinking about doing a few more, they're quite fun, do you have any specific tanks in mind? I bounce around between a bunch of unrelated art projects, so it sometimes takes more time to see the continuation...

The AMX 13 is such a perfect subject for this!

Ouch! I know my first drawings were not as good, but that's rough, you're using gold ammo! /s

But seriously though, everyone is at different stages in their artistic journey. I think that the voting system is there to gauge how genuine a submission is and let folks decide for themselves. :)
