Reminds me of something I began building kitbashing a Typhoon with a F-16 to create this.

I never did get around to finishing it but I might have another go at building it.

Your Delta F-16 looks great so far :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :wub: :wub: :wub:

BTW: Do I see instructions from a 4 engined airliner? Which one?
Will die without understanding this world.

If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

I was building my version of the North Star with the Heller DC-6B. I was calling the build the Southern Star. The engines came from the David J.Parkins Avro Lincoln conversion set. It might be in my long-term stash box otherwise it's another one to build from the 'I started but never got to finish it 'pile.

The clue may be the Super Connie tail that's photo-bombing the delta F-16 over on the left?
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! :)

Yes 'Connie Francis ' with Rolls-Royce Griffons .I  know it's underpowered but they fit.
This is the end result.

The middle tail fin was removed and a pair of turbojets from a Neptuite glued on the wings. Yes that's the Vietnam Neptune behind it.

To be honest, a twin tail Super Connie with British inlines looks a lot like a postwar British de Havilland Super Albatross. Very Nice.

Cheers,

Thanks Logan. That's where I got my inspiration from. There was also a Bristol airliner with a similar shape but I can't think of it's name.
