Not yet finished. It started out as the 1/144th scale Dragon "Target: Baghdad!" F-15E & F-15C kit. I built one F-15 and used the other nose as an extension, the canards are vertical stabilizers from a F-16. Don't really have a backstory for this just yet (open to ideas), I'm thinking long range maritime patrol but would that still be necessary, with satellites and all? All comments and suggestions welcome.

Neato! Kinda reminds me of that proposed passenger carrying MiG-25 or that photoshopped 4 seat F-14 :thumbsup:

3 man crew?  USAF refuses to give up Jammer/Wild Weasel roles to the Navy's Prowlers, instead combines both into new F-15 airframe.  Pilot + 2 x WSO's, one for jamming, one for HARM shooting  :ar:

High-speed VIP transport at crisis time (such as 9/11 for example)

Virgin Galactic trainer (topping at 100 000 feet like the Streak Eagle did, there's a MiG-25 already used for this role)  

WICKED !!!  ^_^



King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Nice job.  :thumbsup:

Well, I'm sure 777 would have third seat as a crew toilet, maybe you need to frost the rear canopy?????  You'd have to be one determined Peeping Tom to sneak a look at 60,000ft!  :lol:  :P  :rolleyes:  
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.

Yowsa Chap that's gotta be the most imaginative F-15 I've ever seen! I like the idea of the thrid crew member. My thought is a training aircraft. Two students and an instructor.

I know not as exciting as Mr. Nev's idea...

Small strategic bomber that allows crew members to sleep. Provided that every site have full pilot suite.
Only needs huge externat tanks: a pair of 1/72 scale, for instance.

Nev, I really like your scenario.

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Although I don't think one of the seats will be a lavatory. :P
