I need your opinion for my Lockheed CL-1200/X-27 Lancer.
I am building the version with rectangular intakes, but they are specifically mentioned to only be on the X-27. I can't find anything that says or shows it would be on the CL-1200.
Here is my blueprint:
Here is another one:
Which one do you think I should make?
Additionally, I looked at the afterburner again:
Does it look realistic? I don't think so.
Tell me what you think.
I have decided to make it with rectangular intakes and a simple afterburner. The front is based on the F-104S so it will be the interceptor version.
The rectangular inlets are my favorite.
afterburner looks aight but could be improved if it were more cone shaped instead of cylindrical. Maybe the color is off but it overall looks decent at worst
The afterburner looks a bit... Wet looking
@WisconsinStatePolice It says that the rectangular inlets of the X-27 would be for a Pratt and Whitney F-100 engine instead of the CL-1200-2's TF-30.
I don’t know if you’ve already seen it, but there’s a nice thread on the secret projects forum. I currently can’t look through to find an exact answer, but perhaps you might find an answer or something you can infer an answer from in this post
It has some more pictures as well.
This plane was never produced, and scrapped during the mock upstage. In my research, I saw more sources with round jet intakes (like the second blue print). Which is more consistent with it’s predecessor - F104. But there are also fewer sources showing with the square intakes - leaning towards F14, F15. Most of the square intakes were used by Mig than. So I would vote for round intakes which looks more believeable as F104 varient. But just my opinion. Both are cool.
The top one looks cool
Oh you mean on the plane
Cheap bread and Coca Cola are a good combination.

Oh, I see.
@Mousewithamachinegun122 I meant like, many rows of circles, sorry, like, one circle that tapers a bit towards the end.. I guess? idk how to aaaa
@MonarchiiwithastolenMG
It looks like that is what he did. However, the result, although it looks really cool, does not look super realistic.
personally, I'd go with the ine I'm interested the most in most cases, each to their own so yea; I have no experience with afterburners, I do however, remember it's basically like a lot of arranging very super small VTOL nozzles among all things, how to arrange it is beyond me, but it's basically a ring
I really do not have that much experience with replicas, so idk about the inlets shape. However, I agree that the afterburner does not look very realistic. (although it does look really cool)
