very nice work and model
it's the model who appear in Macross delta , or macross frontier ?

These are my own alternate designs for Valkyrie type aircraft and would have been sort of competitors against the development of the VF-0 or VF-1 in the Macross Zero era... I've done them up in Macross Zero fan textures as an homage to the saga...

Thanks! Yes sir it is (it makes a reasonable stand-in for a VF-0D I think)...

Yes, I had to look twice, because I initially thought it was a new model.

Hey! Nice to see a new render, and what an action-packed scene it is!

I've often wondered why no one seems to have integrated a canard wing in conjunction with a stabilator to give an a/c more maneuverability. I envision it working in the same manner that you have them on these a/c.

On both aircraft I've tied vectored thrust to the control surfaces, the foreground VF has canards with a main delta-wing with the thrust vectoring (feet/thrusters) up/down in connection with the canards and elevons, and left/right with the rudders. The other aircraft has a more conventional variable wing/stabilator arrangement but again thrust vectoring (feet/thrusters) is tied to the ailerons, rudders, and stab's.... Fairly standard in both the fictional Macross world and also in many of the more advanced aircraft currently employed with real-world armed forces...
The Russians have aircraft in service with the canard/stabiltor combination, and there are a number of European aircraft with the canard/delta wing lay-out...

Interesting. I didn't know that the Russians had canard/stabilator combinations. As much as I love American military a/c, the American military has a notoriously bad habit of not trusting new technology. That's why, even though the British and Germans had jet powered a/c in the 1930s, the US didn't even experiment with it until the 1940s and then only as trainers.

The SU-27/33 has the combination of standard stabilators and forward canards....

Love those details, right down to the retracting landing gear on the highest fighter.

Thanks, I try to get everything just right in my aircraft images... the motion blur was a bit of a pain but came out well I think. Thanks for the fav as well!
