Paragon Designs

[Paragon]

I figured I'd start a thread over here about my designs. Currently I'm working on the Beriev Be-200. I've begun construction of the prototype, and its looking very good. Hopefully I'll have it finished and available on my website by the end of the week. As soon as I'm done, I'll move on to work on the IAF Lavi, as a thank-you to a contributor on my website.

Obviously it isn't quite done, it still needs engines and pontoons, as well as all the odd fins that stick out all over it, and potentially landing gear (those aren't typical on my models).

This one is larger than the most. As per usual, I didn't design it with any particular scale in mind, but when its done I'll include the scale for anyone wishing to resize the kit to fit their own scale desires.

Oh, and my website is www.freewebs.com/paragon19

[Zathros]

I think you have excellent taste in model subjects. This plane is just waiting to be modeled. It looks really good so far.

[Paragon]

Update on the Beriev's progress:

I should have it colored soon. I'll probably build it again before release though. Sorry for the bad pictures, I was a little rushed.

[Paragon]

Finished! I'll finalize the parts and create a construction guide, and then it should be available.

[Ashrunner]

Good looking model, Paragon.

The Beriev line of seaplanes is a wonderful subject. I have been looking at a lot of their designs and found them all to be very interesting.

[Lex]

These designs just keeps getting better!!

[NOBI]

Paragon, Your design is better better each day...can't believe that you don't use any CAD program to help your design.

Great work.

[Paragon]

Finally, the Be-200 model is finished! For those of you interested, take a look, and maybe even download it. The .zip file includes two pdfs (my PDF maker has a maximum of 3 pages each). The kit includes a cover sheet with information about the aircraft, and a construction guide. It is in the Civillian (http://www.freewebs.com/paragon19/civillian.htm) section of my website.

[Paragon]

Heads up to anyone who has downloaded the model - I wouldn't suggest trying to build it if you downloaded it before 9:00 AM EST, its missing a page that includes the cockpit, nose and wings! The new version is up, and complete, so try re-downloading it. Thanks to gman for pointing it out.

[Lex]

Nice one Paragon!

[Edi]

very good looking design of an interesting plane, Thanks:)

[Paragon]

I'm finally back to designing aircraft models (after a period of designing Star Trek models and an Arachnid Warrior from Starship Troopers).

First was the IAI Lavi, an Israeli fighter project that never reached production (X-planes (www.freewebs.com/paragon19/xplanes.htm)):

[Paragon]

I also designed a model of the F-3 Demon, McDonnel's first swept-wing fighter. Though it only served for 8 years and suffered from a lack of engine power, it was the foundation on which the much more successful F-4 Phantom was built (Cold War (www.freewebs.com/paragon19/coldwar)):

[Paragon]

The F-100 comes in three different color schemes (so far), and for the first time, includes landing gear, fuel tanks and missiles (Cold War (www.freewebs.com/paragon19/coldwar)):

And finally, the F-101 Voodoo comes in two different paint schemes, one is a standard, rather bland USAF scheme, the other is as a CF-101 for the Canadian Air Force (Cold War (www.freewebs.com/paragon19/coldwar)):

The Deuce is ready! Grab a copy in the Cold War (www.freewebs.com/paragon19/coldwar.htm) section of my website. It comes in two finished schemes, includes landing gear, and is also available in white and bare metal for anyone looking to make their own recolor of it.

[willygoat]

This baby is SWEEEET! I'm getting it right now :D

[Paragon]

Oh, and next up is the next step in the Century series, the Republic XF-103 Thunderwarrior.

[Paragon]

I think this is one of the quickest models I've designed, finished in one day!

Anyway, two versions are available, a USAF version and Pennsylvania ANG version. There are also two files available for those of you who want to recolor it.

[whulsey]

A new design finished in one day! Man I've got enough trouble deciding to download and open the files in one day to even contemplate that. If I worn one, my hat would be off to you, sir.

[Paragon]

Both the USAF and ANG versions were updated to correct some small problems with USAF markings.

A new design finished in one day! Man I've got enough trouble deciding to download and open the files in one day to even contemplate that. If I worn one, my hat would be off to you, sir.

Well my design technique lends itself to quick production of models, and the shape of the XF-103 was actually very easy to create. I also had the advantage of not having anywhere else to be all day.

[Barry]

Wonderful design and painting work

[Paragon]

New releases! The F-104 is finally available on my website. Even more versions are available for a very reasonable price at the ecardmodels.com store.

I also uploaded a quick model of the Goa'uld Death Glider from Stargate. It comes in both the movie and television versions.
