B3LA

B3LA was supposed to be a trainer/light attack aircraft that was to replace the SAAB SK 60 and complement the SAAB AJ 37 Viggen in the Swedish Air Force in the 80′s. The project was cancelled in 1978 when it was clear that it would have been a very expensive trainer aircraft, and a not very capable combat aircraft either. This is how it probably would have looked in service, with various weapons that could have been used. Some of them are real, and used by the Swedish Air Force, some of them were never developed beyond concept. The model is based on illustrations and the mockup that was made before the project was cancelled.
The model is created and rendered in the free and open source software Blender 3D, composited in to photographic backgrounds.
