Next-gen AC130 gunship - XAC130

Pretty much my first fighter jet design. Actually its more of a gunship. A sci fi futuristic version of the current AC130 gunship with a little bit of Ace Combat and little bit of Macross in it.

Hope you guys like it, still feel that there are a lot more room for improvement, specially the background / lighting.

Looks great, a little bit it remembers me to the fighter jet from the movie Firefox with Clint Eastwood …

thanks that reminds me of the Blackbird :slight_smile:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaPd4ieTmng reminds me of this tutorial but tweaked a bit

very very nice, I love the clean colours also - reminds me a bit of a ‘Nu Gundam’ MS :).

cool name btw, I am about to rewatch F91 soon myself.

Great model and still. Now, I just want to see it in action.

Looks like good guy Megatron haha! Nice, looks cool.

Honestly he look good but in reality the position of the turret will never work, if it’s means to be the next-gen AC 130, then it’s need to shoot to the ground to give close air support, he will never be able to do that.
I suppose the turret move to the kind of rail in the center and are side by side, but even if they move all the way up to the front of the rail, the wing of the plane will still be on the way.
The aircraft would need to be at 90° to be able to shoot wihout the wing being a problem.
That should have been in a bay under the aircraft who can be opened to deploy the rail and the turret.

Welcome and nice job
