Roll your own back story !

" This thing happened where these guys took this aeroplane and..... what ? Ya, I'll take one of those....and then this thing happened where they took the wing and....who ? Ya, I'll be right there........."

First visual impression

: a testbed for a ramjet or scramjet flying wing/saucer thing. Greenglow?

Very wicked. I'd wonder the same thing about the weapons, though. Still, it's a great looking build!

Sisko · April 13, 2008, 04:30:41 PM

That looks great Simon.

Regarding the issue with weapons. I would be more concerned whether or not it could or would get of the ground

Good work! Unusual paint scheme, with the way you've done the green & gray.

I've always thought that if Lightning had been cancelled as Sandys wanted, the natrual candidate for that role would have been the Starfighter. Everybody was looking for a VTOL aircraft in the 50's/60's, so maybe this was an alternative to Harrier?
