F-10 (F3D) Skyknight

[kerick]

Wasn't the Skynight underpowered? Beef up the engines to carry all that extra mass.

  SkyKnight, folks, with a K!

Kni!   Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Kni!   Sorry, I couldn't resist. 

Ah, yes,  Monty Pythons  Sky Knights  who say  "Kni"........may   we expect it to  carry a warload of Antiochian Holy  Hand Grenades  in due course?

Sorry,  that's meaningless unless you too  have watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Actually anti-personnel shrubbery's.

There was a rosegrower in Aberdeen who produced three varieties of "security rose" called "Fenris Wolf"   "Mitgard Serpent"   and "Kraken". They  had quite pronounced  thorns(and pretty  little white flowers too)  I used them  in a garden   hedge some  years  ago  to deter   the  local idiots. Would you like these in your  shrubbery?

If it was painted black for night operations could it be called "The Dark Knight"?

Good call. 

But I read that a Marine squadron in Korea (VMF(N)-513) had something a little better..."Flying Nightmares".

I revive this thread, because I plan to build a 1:72 swept-wing F3D-3. I already had some sources - but the info and scans here is additional and valuable material, thanks a lot.

Will be a kitbash, as far as I can tell...
- Fuselage from a 1:72 Matchbox Skyknight, maybe with a slightly more pointed nose?
- Wings from an 1:72 Italeri B-66 - just the outer parts. Looks suitable.
- New fin from a 1:144 B-1B. Not perfect, but plausible in shape and size
- Horizontal stabilizers from a 1:72 Il-28

Will receive four 1st generation Sparrows under the wings, and a new landing gear (since the Skyknight parts are missing...).
Wil be a USN aircraft and end up in Light Gull Grey/White with colorfil markings - probably with a black radome.

Not certain when it enters hardware stage, but the parts are complete, so the project is ready to start 

[Dizzyfugu]

Well, another thread revival, because I take the plan to the hardware stage!

Pretty much stick to the plan, just that the complete fin will come from the B-66.

Stay tuned, more to come soon in the Picture Post section.

Or the "Night Knight"!?

[pyro-manic]

Sounds like it would have some Elvgren nose-art...

Looking forward to it!

Or, possibly "Nightie Knight"......

Which is causing conflicting images in my mind one including a scantily clad, buxom young lady , the other....................... Radish!

[Captain Canada]

Looking forward to this as well ! Another under-whiffed aeroplane.
