I have just watched an interesting video on YouTube about the Boeing 818 and thought that would be worth building. Boeing did a mock up side by side seater plus a twin tandem layout.
Yes I know that the donor kit will be a F-111A,  but the engine intakes are on the upper fuselage sort of F-14 looking.
Erm what kits will I need for this project?
It's in 1/72 scale.

Interesting.  A quick Google of 'Boeing 818' has thrown up https://www.destinationsjourney.com/historical-military-photographs/boeing-818/, rather different to all of the other 818 profiles.

With the cockpit canopy shaped the way it is you may want to consider a Vigilante for the front end. Just my $0.02.
