Description

The Impetus Nuclear Airliner was a proposed plane of the future powered by two atomic engines. Fortunately it came out in 1959 only as a sleek plastic model kit by Aurora Company just for 98 cents. Here is a sort of "family shot" from the retrofuture of an Impetus refuelling in a South African airport during the first '70. Rendered in Bryce 4 and postproduced in Photoshop.

Duo, Your ability to mix 3D model into the real is amazing. The lighting is prefect. Bravo. Oddly I built the Aurora version when I was 10. It didn't look as good as yours. 5+++
