This my interpretation  of what an operational XAB-1 would look like. It's based on a free paper kit, which itself is based on the classic Hawk model kit from the 50's. I replaced the parasite fighters with a stinger and added some SAC stripes to the nose. I was trying for a "Dr. Stangelove" look with the photos.

Strewth!  :thumbsup:

That is SOMETHING! How big is the model?
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! :)

Exactly what I was thinking  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
