Warhawk takes New Rocket Plane to Shaing Kong!
by Lois Lane It seems the sky over troubled China is about to get a lot more pleasant thanks to the newest visitor from the States. It seems that Warhawk, the renowned daredevil pilot of fortune has taken his newest mount across the Pacific to help sort out the pirate problems there. The first I knew of Warhawk's relocation came as I stared out of my window aboard the weekly Clipper to Shaing Kong and noticed that we had an escort off the starboard wing.
Upon landing at the seaplane dock, I headed on over to Rickenbacker field where he must have landed. Sure enough, there he was and as ever, he was reluctant to talk to the press. But I did find out that his new Rocket Plane, the XP-289, is the latest collaboration between Hughes and Peevs. Keep your eyes peeled to the sky to see what Warhawk can do vs the Pirates!
Here are a few simple shots.

Amalric, Wow! Great job. The WIP pics over at LAF are also quite nice. Makes me want to design something like that for my pulp gaming. Best wishes,

Wings? Lift? Physics? Have no place here. |

<<Wings? Lift? Physics?>> Matsuru, as this is pulp and not historic, I just made it to look cool and Pulpy. I could get into all sorts of nonsensical Pulp Fluff, but that is the real reason. Thanks for all the kind words all. |

With enough thrust, you can make a brick fly. Those engines must be pretty powerful. Cool model. |
