Im sticking with 1/32. was only considering 1/48 for mock-up/lets see how this looks tape jobs. How real world? anything is on the table I love Sci-fi and was thinking i might go with that so anything you have will be appreciated! Thanks Eddie :cheers:

I came up with some rough ideas and will scan and post them tomorrow. There might be something you can use, depending on how much sawing you want to do. :o ;D

These are very rudimentary, but maybe it will help. This one has the Tonka intakes on the top with the Tonka vertical stab in the center and some chopped down vert. stabs angled asa sort of top side ventral fins.


Four engines in line. Pretty basic. Still using the Tornado vert. stab in the center. My reasoning is I've always thought it looked too big for that aircraft.


This one is in case you want to use the 1/48 Tornado front end ( hence the jagged cut line to show the blend) and blend it into the 1/32 Eagle. It would give it a larger than life, sci-fi feel. Also, cutting the intakes at a 45 degree angle, a la the F-107, would change the appearance a little. Hope this gives you some ideas and I'll keep this one on my mind for more ideas.;D


Here's an idea to blend the wings to give it more wingspan. Will also work with the 1/48 wings, kinda like a Backfire.

Look behind you!
