It's a Vought V-507: competitor to the F-14 using some licenced Dassault technology. It's swing-wing, so not as much Vigilante as you might think. It's really more a case of F-14 meets Mirage G.2.

Bagera3005 did a lovely profile of it here: http://bagera3005.deviantart.com/art/Vought-V-507-spartion-126031852

It's the same general shape, but I think the V-507's has a lower aspect ratio: broader chord at the base and lower.

A model of that would drive the JMNs totally DEMENTED!  ;D
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! :)

Regards

Silly boy  :rolleyes:

It does look a little like something that someone on here would come up with though - nice looking aircraft
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Is it only a mockup, or did Vought actually build the airplane?

There's a fair bit of info in ASP Fighters, can't remember off the top of my head if there are any more photos.  Some drawings here:

Dassault 'helped' with the design of the V-507.  To me, they just gave them the AFVG.  It's very similar to AFVG, just scaled up.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Aren't JMNs demented by definition?  :wacko: Driving them round the bend can only improve their condition, can't it?
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
