This is the Revell 1/200 Boeing Super Sonic Transporter airliner known as the Super Clipper. It's just the VG model with the cranked nose. (The other two have been finished.)
There was aproposal from Boeing for a Mach 3 bomber based on the 2707 VG and fixed wing with canards. Four and six engines concept models were built but lost out to the North American XB-70 Valkyrie.

I've used some 1/72 drop fuel tanks to create this camera pods/fuel tanks and electronic lumps/bumps. It now has a non-rotating rotodome similar to the Lockheed EP-3 Orion for surveillance.
Having watched video about the SR-75 Penetrator, I have removed the rotodome and glued it on the EA-10B Electronic Hog. I have added the
1/144 F-117 to the upper fuselage.



Nose wheel moved forward under the cranked nose.
