I've brought this one back because it just won't leave me alone! Actually, I'm quite fond of this one and it will be a nice distraction when run out of ideas for the Hogzilla( like now :ph34r: ).

I'll give you a dollar if you give it a pebbled texture and paint it orange, It would make a perfect killer starfish!  :lol:

I really like this one a lot and can't wait to see where it heads on it's journey to completion.

Just love this one! Nothing better than using various spares left  to make an hybrid or a monster (I'm actually kit bashing a Zero and a MiG-15 :) )  
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.

Wanderful. F-18 is a good start for whatif with all those futuristic lines. :cheers:  
Will die without understanding this world.

wow, that looks like a kickass design.  I especially like the inverted F-16 intake on top
Man, we should have cloned twenties. Jackson wouldn't have given a poo-poo.

Thank you everyone! B) I used parts from a Hornet as well as F-5 main wings( elevons),F-16 main wings(horizontal stabs)F-104 engine housing (3rd engine) F-16 intake and F-15 wings cut and reversed with F/A-18 elevons for the tips. I ought to call this one the H-57. (Get it, Heinz 57? You Yanks get it, I'm sure. ;)  :lol: ) Naming rights are up for grabs on this one. I will be doing some serious building this weekend, as the Better Half is going out of town and I'll be home alone with the Kids. They've expressed interest in building models too( Elena is 6 and Evan is 4. Start'em young! ;) , so it might just end up being a glue fest!

One other note. FSM did a review of the TSR.2 in this months issue(Aug). Other that the fit problem and a couple of other small issues, they gave it praises. It looks good in the mag as well!

Ahhh!  A naming challenge.  My favorite thing.

Stick with me here folks:

- It looks like an updated (Eddie-fied?) Su-47 Berkut (translates to "Golden Eagle")
- Golden Eagle is no good, since we already have F-15 Eagles and TSR.2 Eagles

- "Berkut" sounds like "Bearcat,"  
- Bearcat is no good because we already have that in the F8F.

However In southeast asia there is an animal, sometimes called a "bearcat" with the local name of "Binturong."  (You can Wikipedia it).  

So, I propose this project be called the:
-  Miller Aviation Enterprises H-57 "Binturong"

Time for me coat...

Excellent deduction on the move. B) Since your ideas tend to show a geographical habitation of certain animals, see if we can find something that is N. American. (notice I didn't say purely U.S. ;)  :P )Still plenty of ideas left out there, but this is a very good start. :)  :cheers:
