SNAW FA-116 Hawk

Pure fantasy model, SNAW FA-116 is inspired by some details of the beautiful F-16 Falcon and is ideally placed in the same era.

In this building I wanted to test the ability to create color details on the three-dimensional wings. The result leaves me quite satisfied, the plane has a technological and modern look, as if it had been applied some radar absorbent paint on a plane born before 2000, to bring him to the new millennium adding to it a partial stealth ability.

The model flies very well, is very manageable and it is fast enough. As always in my models with three-dimensional wings drag it is very high (indeed, in this perhaps is even higher because of the aesthetic details) and I had to abound with the engines. The model is also equipped with afterburners, and when you turn it on the aesthetic effect is remarkable thanks to the work I did on the exhausted, repainting it and scaling it to obtain a clear difference between post combustors active or inactive.

The model is presented with air-to-air armament, but it can be armed with any combination of missiles and bombs. The centering of the weight remains after all correct, and the power of the engines is enough to bring in air even six BOOM50. So leave your fantasy lead you even with the ground attack missions or ships attack.

Two words on the powerful cannon that I specifically modified for this aircraft. Is capable to destroying the bridges, but not vaporize them instantly as some I've seen on other models. You will see the spectacular collapses but not huge sections spread kilometers away. It is not able to harm the vessels - and this is a choice to make it less science fiction - so for the ships you have to use a weapon on the pylons.
