Interesting! I haven't seen a "built-in" rocket pack like that before.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

And as a piece of particularly useless information, did you know the wing design of the P-16 was used on the first Lear Jet? The Model 25 I think....

I like the way there's one guy standing mere yards from the runway when it lands. These days the HSE would have collective heart failure!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Vautour IIN had a similar setup. Now that wasn't a plane to get in front of: 4 x 30mm DEFA cannons, 104 x 68mm SNEB rockets and 4 x Matra R.510 AAMs. Anyone'd think they wanted to hurt someone.....:blink:
