Yours seems somehow more solid/robust than the pics I've seen of the real XFV-12.  I like yours better.
Maybe it's because its armed and/or wearing such an appropriate scheme.

This is one of those pieces that catches my eye, and keeps me awake a good part of the night, enjoying every part of it :wub: :wub: :wub:

Incredibly good execution!!!

Part of the difference in the look may be that I enlarged and lengthened the nose to give it a decent radar.  The original had a shorter more pointed nose.

Very nice!  I did one (unmodified) a few years back, and always thought a Hornet nose would look good on the thing.  I like the addition of forward fuselage hard points as well.

Great job!

Nice! I remember when I were a lad that I looked forward to this aircraft coming into service. Which it never did of course.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

It doesn't even look like it would have the ability to fly !

That was why the real thing did not have the ability to fly! http://www.airbornegrafix.com/HistoricAircraft/Prototypes/XFV12.htm

But the model is superior :bow: :bow: :bow:
