OK, did some diggin' in the spare parts box and pulled out a few odds and ends I think I can work with so I'm in 

The main fuselage and some parts from a Buccaneer, the nose off a Banshee, and the wings and canopy from a Gannett will be my starting point.



I don't know what I'm thinking, but I can't seem to help myself

interesting anyway

Wow you're going to somehow work in parts from a Gannett? Black Ops, you should get the Leigh Eaton Award for this! I expected to see entries with some very diverse parts but a Gannett?

The force is strong with you.

I got the Buccaneer from Leigh so it's appropriate

If he can bash together an SR-71 and Gannet...now that would be impressive...

Hmm, SR71 with Double Mamba Contra rotating props. Was that along the lines you were thinking of??

[BlackOps]

OK, playing around with the fit here, this things gonna be a putty monster! I had to replace the gannet canopy with a 1/48 scale fury canopy or else the pilots couldn't fit in the cockpit. It's going to need to be shaved down a bit. I'm also thinking I'm going to have to scratch build my tail fins (thay look to thick) but we'll see.





I'm going to have to do a lot of building up and shaping at all the major joins.

Reminds me of a FH1 Phantom or even a F2H Banshee on steriods..........

Cool, baby.  Love the nostalgic "early jets" look to it.   

[Brian da Basher]

What Mr Howling Mouse said! This one's shaping up nicely! I really like the V-tail and the nose and new canopy.

Nice work, Black Ops!

Looks like you're trying to spin a Buc equivalent to the WB-57...neat concept. Instead of a V tail why not make it a conventional tail with dual vertical stabs

Couldn't have said it better myself. It reminds me of the days straight deck carriers when there was no such thing as a bolter.
