I heard the voices.......

[Eddie M.]

This one is a puzzle that has creeping around in my mind in pieces for some time and has finally spoken up to reveal it's true form . I was unhappy about the results of a bashing between an F-14 and F/A-18. I also have an extra set of burner nozzles from a 1/32 F-15E that I have been wanting to build into a powerful brute. What came to mind was something akin to the Foxbat. With the pieces from a 1/48 Super Tomcat, Hornet and bits and pieces from a F-22, F-4 and others, I have come up with.....something.The intakes will be like the B-70 or Typhoon. This one is big. I took a photo of it next to my Scooter as a size comparison. I know I have a lot started already, but this one was too good to pass up. Wait to see what I'm going to use for the engines.

Looks like a Fd up Flanker!  "Carry on our way ward son..."

Ah, modeling by demonic possession always yields bizarre and beautiful builds.  Now that they've been exercised, it's now time to keep them at bay by finishing it!  And keep the rear-ward shark's mouth, it just adds that extra "BL-OW!!" to the model.

When F-14 met F-18 one night in AMARC, this was the result!

Not a bad concept but I personally feel that the rear end is a little too 'busy', if you know what I mean!    

[Dork the kit slayer]

very interesting...........but I really DO like your scooter.

Im with the "seavixen" I also think the back end is a little " busy".  

[Dork the kit slayer]

this is the second time this has happened......pooh

[Eddie M.]

I agree about the tail. Sometimes I have to put something there to get a feel for what "they" want.   I've already 86'ed the bottom elevons. A little refinement to come.

Shas,
  I'm trying not to be too obvious about the flanker influences. I think the intakes are going to break that up a little. I'm looking for a type of surface that provides lift as well as air direction to the intakes. The MiGs and Flankers seem to look that way as well, so no getting around I guess, plus the main influence to use those engines is the Mig 25.

Ohhhh don't get me started about busy back-ends..... You wouldn't believe the nappy/diaper we just changed (YES it took two of us !)
