Hmmm very interesting Alvis. What kind of paint scheme are you planning for it? I've no doubt that you've got some cool maple leaf roundels set aside for it.

*laughs* I wonder how many will get that Lief Ericson reference?  But I do agree with you on all counts.

Alvis,

Cool work there.  It does look good and it "feels right" given the SSC "backstory."

But, I also have to point out that you had to use up a Lief for this rendering.

That's no small thing to do that!

Some might go so far as to consider it sacrilege!  Others would be stunned that you'd sacrifice a $300 - $400USD eBay item for a whif!

In any event, it looks good and keep on sharing your progress with it.

Well, it would have been MY Lief to chop up eh? :(

(Cackles maniacally)

But actually, I merely used an intact Lief as reference. All the non-X-15 bits were scratchbuilt. The bulges above and below the fuselage are 1/32 scale F-16 drop tanks.
