North American RA-5C Vigilante

122k asteroidbook345  3.4 years ago

Now with hollow gear bays!

Act. 1 - Fold wings
Act. 2 - Drop tailhook
Act. 8 - Toggle nosewheel steering

The RA-5C was the reconnaissance version of the A-5 Vigilante attack and bomber aircraft. It was capable of Mach 2, the same speed as the A-5A, but carried additional fuel. and a recon pod which housed radar and camera systems. While the RA-5C did have the same bomb bay system as the A-5A, it was never loaded while the RA-5C was in service. This one features realistic speed, afterburners, a tailhook, carrier capability and flaps with two settings: 40 degrees and 50 degrees at 80% VTOL, just like the real thing.

    I did the spoilers wrong, maybe I’ll make an A3J at some point with ones that actually work, and a bomb bay

    @asteroidbook345 whether you make one or not I’m looking forward to your next build, they’re always quite detailed and functional.

    @3AMIndustries I might make an A3J because of how I did the spoilers at some point. I have to finish my T-32 and begin on a very large project as well so it won’t be for at least a month if not two

    @BogdanX hit the brakes and it’ll decelerate just fine

    @BogdanX I’m going to remake the wings on this and add a full livery, more detailed landing gear, gear bay interior details, and a bomb bay at some point, I’m not super happy with it functionally speaking.

    @BogdanX In terms of looks this one is better, but the U-2 is better in terms of functionality, so it’s probably better overall

    @BogdanX I actually read up about the spoilers in a book I have after the fact and I was really annoyed with it, I think I’ll make an A3J with proper ones later with more parts. I don’t think I saw the cutaway you sent me but the book I have has a cutaway of them.

    @BogdanX none of this is my fault, I asked ED when I uploaded, he was asleep. You’re closer to him than I am lol
