Stardelta

I know. I am not good with drawings :dum: . I was just wondering how such thing could look.
I like it and you?

I taped up the exact same thing using 1/48 Monogram F-104 and Mirage 2000 kits a while back.  Loved the look of it and it is on my 'to do' list.  I will probably go with a tailless design for mine.  I was going to call it "DeltaStar"

Great minds....

I love the Starfighter's T-tail and I will keep it -thinking on changing the horizontal plane shape to make it more delta-. I have an Academy f-104, quite inacurate anyway, and I can take the wings of a PM Dagger; everything 1/72.

BTW how will your tail fin look.

W-O-W!!!
Carlos, That's a stunner!!! If that's only in concept, I can't wait to see the actual build!!

Aeroplane Driver, are you realising you're inventing the Kfir C1 (the non canard variant) again?      

Ysi, the idea of keeping the T-tail is brilliant! The result would really looks like a sleeker, single engine  Javelin...      

And well, the view you create is quite good.

Think I like both projects of tailed-delta Starfighter    
I'll have to strike back with some F-104-winged Mirage F-1

Cool! Delta with side intakes and T-tail will look great. However its not the new idea. Do you know, that during Starfighter development, there were also delta-wing studies?

Love your drawing and concept.  Go for it!

On my own to-do list I have a Mirage 2000 slated to have a T-tail.

Lockheed F-103 Deltastar!

F-103 was a super cool  B) : Republic paper project

Did ever F-114 existed?

[Archibald]

No. Seems that the centuries stopped at F-111 (F-117 is an oddball name for an odball aircraft   ).

F-109 was never used (some says it was the F-101B, others the Bell D-188
eight-J85-VTOL-fighter, and even the ryan X-13   )

Or F-98 / F-99 (former BOMARC and Falcon missiles   )

[B777LR]

No. Seems that the centuries stopped at F-111 (F-117 is an oddball name for an odball aircraft   ).

Yup, it isnt a fighter, and planes of the same time where named with 2 digits, not 3  

[LemonJello]

That is a sleek looking design you've got there, it'll be interesting to see it in three dimensions!  I was going to suggest adding some canards, but on second thought, I like it just the way it is.

[ysi_maniac]

Well I began with an Academy's Starfighter. Why?

It is cheap.
It is inacurate, so whiff candidate but is crisply molded and besides this the plastic in thick enough to bear hard sanding.

First inacuracy, the cockpit in too wide and canopy accordingly. After thinking in several ways to correct it, I decided ...

[ysi_maniac]

Make room for a "side by side" two seat cockpit.

Here you can see a half worked and the other not yet

[ysi_maniac]

I scrachbuilt the cockpit and began fitting tests
