Northrop Single-Engine "Cobra" LWF

[GTX]

My very quick and very crude idea of what a single (P&W F-100) engined Hornet (the ultimate result of the Cobra) might look like:

SAVED TO HD I'll be building that

Well, don't blame me...

And it will be called the "GTX something,something"

Bugger!!! I guess I had better do a better quality (and correctly scaled) version hadn't I .

GTX,

The engines appear to be a little bit large even for an F-100.  I also was thinking about going with a single tail instead.

I did say it was crude and needing correct scaling...

I would like to see it with one tail But ef -100 we'll just say it's a TEW engine

[sotoolslinger]

Actually Scooterman gave me a little Bug so I will probably go with a 1/48 F-16 for the butt end. Now do I use the Viper tail or one of the ones from the Bug? Also did we ever decide on one intake or two?

I was tending towards intakes much like the standard Hornet/Cobra.

Cool that'll be less plastic mashin

Howabout angular Super-Bug style intakes?

Nope gonna make my Superbug a delta wing.......maybe

[KJ_Lesnick]

sotoolslinger,

Why not make an F-18XL (someone already did this actually at my recommendation) but do it with a SUPER-bug instead of a regular F-18.  That would be completely badass

BTW:  By the way I found something out.  The boom-like structures on the F-16 that mount the stabilators and speed brakes are also called shelves.

[sotoolslinger]

That's pretty much the idea of the delta Superbug. I will eliminate the horizontal stabs and place the delta wing all the way back on the fuse so it blends in with the lerx correctly.
