I'm surprised it doesn't have spats if Brian did it.

Maybe those are not drop tanks but contain wheels...

I like the "fake" canopy a lot, very subtle work. Didn't we have a similar combo here some time ago, last year? Was a P-80/F-86 mash-up, and I also did an F-94/86 hybrid. IIRC, those were based on whiffy profile drawings.

Very nice P-80, wouldn't have much of a roll rate but would probably be a good high altitude bird.

Nicely done.

Given how much effort Lockheed put in to developing and upgrading the P-80 airframe, I'm surprised they didn't try something like this themselves!

[Logan Hartke]

One could say that they tried something along those lines with the XF-90, but they probably waited a bit too long for that development, especially compared to North American, for example.

Cheers,

Logan

Magic, LOVE it! 

Three engines too.

That's very cool. Love the tip tanks. I's fair over the original intakes and make them conformal fuel tanks.

I'll bet the stabilising pogos have spats then!
