NAA SST

[Orne M]

Pulled this one out of storage to work on it.  This is a 1/72 variation on the AMT B-70, the NAA SST from the early Sixties (all the construction was done up to this point before I found some NAA artwork on the net).  The fuselage uses the entire AMT B-70 upper fuselage, but have scratchbuilt over this the mid-cabin area and aft fuse-cap from sheet styrene and large applications of bondo.  The wing is the B-70 center-section (light grey), kitbashed with Testors SR-75 lower wing/engines (darker grey) - a good feature was the humped lower belly similar to the L-2000 SST, where luggage/cargo was stowed - and the rest (white areas) were scratchbuilt from styrene sheet.  Haven't decided on single tailfin or twin-fins.

A few more shots of the lower wing and engine nacelles.

That's going to be one large table filler but it will look spectacular

[Mossie]

Great!  Is this a real project?  I've seen some designs for SST's based on the B-70, but they simply had cabins in the exisitng fuselage with little changes otherwise.  I like yours much more wether real or not, much more considered.

Mossie, it's a real project.  Have another AMT B-70 i'm building as the AV-2 with the kinked wings, otherwise stock, should have taken a few shots with the two together.

Super Cool Looks like Something out of an Episode of 'Thunderbirds' or 'Captain Scarlet'!!!!!! Hope to see More!!!!!!!!

Looks like a predecessor to the blended wing body concept. Cool design there!

Excellent, look forward to seeing the finished result!
