Great job.
It's just begging for AAMs on wingtip rails and at least one gun.

Yes it would, but what happens when you are flying faster than what you launch or fire can go?

Very nice work and congrats on the trophy!
I've always loved the X-15.

My thoughts exactly, the trophy was well deserved with that amount of detail, very well done 

Now you just need to do one with delta wings, then one with a SERJ engine and then a two seater

You learn something new every day! (Which is what I love about this site.) I've never heard of the SERJ Engine, what a fascinating project.

Mere detail.

Lovely model!

I now have to check out my photo's of the Expo to see if I've got any of it.

Then I'll have to see if I can remember the face that went up to get the trophy (that is so unlikely I'm more likely to find George Harrison & David Bowie jamming in my ensuite).


Here it is;


Here's the competition;

Hey, thanks Old Wombat. I guess our paths have crossed at the SAPMA shows from time to time. Nice pics, by the way. Those whiffy Lightnings were awesome, I was surprised I won!

From these pics I'd say you had stiff competition!
The Bucc with folded wings looked interesting too.

Super nice!! Excellent work!!  Trophy was well deserved.

[Dizzyfugu]

Excellent! I like it a lot.

Nice to see the aircraft painted in the ablative white coating for a change

Nope. Just an ASAT. Titan by Stephen Baxter.
