Wooksta, what was used to make the banner image kit?

Is there a Canberra fuselage ?  That's about all I can figure out. Looks cool but have been trying to figure it out since the new look whatif came in.

The model is not one of Wooksta's only the statement that he's often uses as an anti-JMN tactic when one decides to get too anal about a build.

The model itself is one of mine a scrtachbuild of the Armstrong Whitworth AW-169 supersonic fighter that was runner up in the F-155T requirement.

The fuselage is a reshaped Airfix Concorde in 1/144 scale with a new nose and belly, scratchbuilt wings and engines with losts of plastic card, milliput and spares box bits.

Cheers

My apologies Geoff. Very nice and I'll have to look at my buddy's British Secert Projects book again for that one.

Looks like AW were taking design inspiration from Yakovlev on that one. More than a passing resemblance to the Yak-28 "Firebar" there.

Actually goes back to an RAE concept that also spawned the Bristol 188. In the US Fighters Secret Projects there's a couple of of Loacheed designs that are also similar so its a common design evolution from the 50's.
