Hey...that's pretty sweet ! A very cool idea.

Hiya Ron,

Now don`t get me wrong but what the hell are you. You drive umpteen zillion lightyears between jobs. You do a full days work. AND yet you still find time to stick some plastic together. What are you ? the $6,000,000 whiffer?.
Come on give us mere mortals a break. Tell us the secret.  What is it the food, maybe a secret snack . Or is it the pills. thats it isn`t it. The green ones. Yeah bet it`s the green ones. Mum always said if you eat the green stuff it`ll give you energy. So come on come clean and spill the beans (geddit...green beans) If I have to come over there to get the truth it won`t be pretty.
Oh by the way nice work.

G

ps  Does the boss know you still have this much energy left after giving 100% at the office? or does she turn a blind eye. Perhaps its the cat. Like a vampire your sucking the cats energy outta it.





Think I should lie down now in a dark room.

This is such a cool project - well done!   it's kinda like you got a rubber model of a Boulton-Paul P.111 and stretched it riiiiiiight out........

Bit spooky too mind: my Avro Archer is going to be an F-86D with Mirage III wings and a Viggen tail, and I've just been bidding on a Kfir in order to get a wing with dogteeth.....

Now a week ago, I would have advised you to lose the hinge fairing on the LHS of the tail because it screams "Viggen" (the Viggen tail folds to fit in cave or smaller field hangers). However since then I've bought a couple of Concordes and what have they got? A thumping great fairing on one side of the tail, so nah - leave it.... I suppose you could say that the fin-top pitot tube is distinctly "Viggen" too, but then with a thin-lipped nose intake and wings with leading edge droops, it's also kinda logical too, so I'd leave than as well.

Very very cool! 

[Scooterman]

Yeah Baby!!!!

You'll never catch him Gary, he'll outrun you in slow motion.  He's the Texan Lee Majors, the orange track suit with a Steson & six shooters!

Well ,thanks a lot to all y'all
Hog it's a combination of jalapeno peppers and beer.
Actually it's the inspiration I get from everyone on this site. Y'all might have noticed that the last 3 out of 4 models I have done were baseed on profiles I have seen on this site The F -416 Barracuda was inspired by by someone elses build of a shrunk F-104  and I have 3 more builds planned (coming soon ) which will all be based on profiles. It's considerable easier to steal other folks work than to actually come up with my own idears
Weav I am really looking forward to seeing your Delta Dogsabre But save your Kfir ,those dogtooth wings didn't take hardly any work to mock up. I do like the pitot tube up there as it lets me lose that big ugly one sticking out of the chin on the Hun.
BTW we are having an ice storm in Dallas so I might have to start a new project today since I paint outside

[cthulhu77]

By the bye, we have a friend staying over who is from Holland...he just about chili'd his shorts when he saw your F5/Draaken. He is an engineer, and he said the design was flawless !

[cthulhu77]

Interesting concept.  (LOL-had to say it)

I like the new tail, it lends a very esoteric look to the jet.

[sotoolslinger]

Very cool  We need a head getting bigger smiley
EGO ON 11

It might be coming up after the Atom, or it might have to wait for a PRGM MiCh-12 to be done first.....

It's quite hard to find a pure, truly triangular tailfin for a '50s delta isn't it? There's really only the F-102, F-106 and Viggen: everything else, including deltas, has swept fins.

[sotoolslinger]

Yep and the predecessor to the F-102 had a huge triangle tail. Very Lippisch

Which is why I used it (XF-90?) as the basis for the Avro-720-inspired Archer, which was also Very Lippisch....

Ron, this is looking bad donkey!    Seriously, you are putting us all to shame
