Sneak preview

[seavixen]

With the Etendard project now on the back burner for various reasons, here's a little glimpse of my new Xmas project!

[John Howling Mouse]

Are you converting a 1:72 Voodoo into a single-seat fighter in 1:48???

Cool!

[seavixen]

Nope! It's a Matchbox 1/72nd scale Voodoo mated with an Airfix 1/72nd YF-22 cockpit section. Bugger of a job to blend the two together and it's seen much Green Stuff used to get the job done!

[B777LR]

But why that conversion?

[seavixen]

Why not?

Had two damaged kits so thought I'd see what the two would look like when parts of them were put together.

Wait and see, the end result will be worth it!    

[Rafael]

Way to Go, Seavixen!!!!

That's a hot BlackVoodooWidow!!!

melikesit!!!

I do love Blackened Voodoo beer (available here in the states), almost as much as I love that jet!  Gonna be cool.

Outstanding use of your resources. You've got me hook, line and sinker. Looking forward to the progress of this beauty. B)

I'm looking at the possibility of using a V Tail config.

[B777LR]

Nooo, do it delta! And no V tail please  

[Archibald]

Oh yeeees! V-tail, we need V-tail on this marvel!    

[GTX]

Has a very McDD JSF proposal look to it:





Especially if you go with the V-tail.

Regards,

Greg

[Archibald]

Au fait, what camo and markings are you planning for this model ?  

[seavixen]

Well the V Tail is now a definite with a scheme much like the RN one as in pic 3 above.

[B777LR]

Oh good, was just begining to fear spats, t-tail and canadian markings
