Ok. Who let the ugly bint in? :unsure:

I'm sure I've seen some of those images before in a future aircraft book from the 80/90s?

Yeah, how can you make an F-32 look uglier?

Hang a couple of EXINT pods under it!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Where did you find them though, I've never seen THAT many of Avpro's stuff before.

I'm not too keen on the mega-angled deck carrier though. I'm not at all sure that the maritime part of the crew would relish sailing THAT far of the apparent wind at high speed! :(

Somebody posted the lot in a thread on Twitter back in 2020: apparently they were available on a CD. I missed them then, but somebody retweeted the thread into my timeline the other day.

No I don't like the highly-angled deck trimaran carrier either. IMHO, the way to use a trimaran carrier would be to have a dead straight landing deck down the centreline, with catapults+parking to one side and island+parking to the other.

Aw c'mon, what other plane greets you every morning with a grin like a big, daft dog?  ;D



Me and aviation journalist Valerie Insinna on Twitter are the hopeless romantics of the X-32 Appreciation Society.

Yes, a lot of them were published there.
