RAAF F-19 Stealth Fighter

[mgp]

It's been a while since I've done a Whif kit, so here is my latest finished project:



This is the Italeri 1/72 kit done as a RAAF version. You can see some more pictures of it here: RAAF F-19

What about a "change a F-19 kit into something else" group build?

There arent that many F-19 kits around though. The 1/72 italeri kit, the 1/144 revell, and the 1/48? testors kit.

Classy, very classy.  When I grow up, I'll be able to build such a clean model...maybe.

Very nice build!

Seeing this in grey made a thought pop into my head...when you look at the tip of the nose and the inward canted fins you can almost see that whoever designed this had at least spoken to someone who had had a glimpse of Have Blue.  The Monogram F-19 seems purely speculative and similar to a lot of the ATF speculation floating around at the time, but to me the Testeri one has just enough in it to make you go hmmmm....

If you ever read "Dark Eagles" (dont recall the author, but a great top-secret book), it mentions the hypotheticle kits of the 80's, it states that the Testores F-29 was influenced by the SR-71 shape IIRC.
