Working on this already.... 

It's the original idea for the Bv-138, the P111 and I'm indebted to Tophe for giving us the link to this piece of German madness.

The Lippisch F-15 is really neat 

You know- once I found out that Lippisch is contemplating what is essentially a coal-burning ramjet, I realize that I have to base a 3D modelling project on that.

Hmm, how about the Big-winged F-20?

These are from local shows.

Four words...........

Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces

(I just scored a DML Uhu to approximate the Senryu. Muhahaha!)

I purchased Innocent Aces two days ago and have since used a tuned Senryu as an air-to-air plane (despite its lack of AA secondaries; a rapid-fire gun pod option would have worked wonders, but the "Special" variant that has it just can't be tuned to fly fast enough)......  

I think the cockpit section is a bit more similar to those of the Ju-288/388 though.

Maybe this will help? Bigger version HERE.

Good source of profile blanks there - anyone want to do some anime profiles???

Yes, I already have all of those blueprints. Thank you!

I have a reference-source-book coming from Japan in the near future.
I am interested in making a "Fortune" as well as the Senryu.

Speaking of games, here is another figment of imagination: Focke-Wulf Hellhound.

(Not to mention the Bloodhawk, which IMHO is a re-branded Hs P.75)

(Off topic...... but come to think of...... Crimson Skies planes v.s. Sky Cralwers planes?  Um......)

Here is a Grumman Tiger (one of the F-104G competitors).

Nice!  I did a Danish Tiger a while back, I like the idea of the F11F as an alternative to the F-104, much prettier in my opinion.

[tigercat2]

From what I have read, the F11F Tiger was much better suited to what the Luftwaffe really wanted and needed, but Lockheed did a much better job in marketing.

Here is an A-4, another really good airplane that could have had a long service with the W. German AF, IMHO.

You and me both Mossie, did a Aeronvale Tiger myself

[Mossie]

I remember Chris!  I knackered the Danish Tiger when I tried to strip it for a refurbishment, but I picked up another at Telford so it'll probably get

As was, the F11F was unreliable due to it's powerplant, although I think an Avon powered version or the F11F-1F would have been better than the Starfighter.

Maybe use a Draken wing instead?  The intakes on the two aircraft blend into the wing in a similar way.  The Draken wing is a trademark, I guess you could change it's shape to an ogee with some shaped plastic card?

I did the opposite a while back, put a Thunderchiefs wing on a Draken body to make it more conventional.  It worked reasonably well, in 2D at least.  I think you'd have more problems swapping the the wings in plastic, as the intakes are deeper in the Draken.
