How about mating a F3D with a U-2? Could look like this...




Probably not the RC model builder's intention, but feasible!  ;)

NOW you're talking!  ;D :lol:

Wow, that's not too far off from an A-6 Intruder.

Cheers,

Yup, from certain angles you really get reminded a lot of the A-6, e .g. from front/above, like in the pic here. In contrast to that, a view from low behind reminds a lot of the A-3 Skywarrior. O.K., its cousin lent the wing surfaces, but the F3D-3 really looks like the missing link between the Skyknight and the Skywarrior! And it is more appealing than I expected, it's a shame how the original straight wings "hise" the elegant, teardrop-shaped fuselage.

That looks JUST like a Skywarrior that's had it's engines caught in a giant bench vice and squished into the fuselage!

With the original straight wings you don't notice the similarities, but Thomas' works brings it all into focus. Nice one!  :thumbsup: :bow:

Skyknight, Skywarrior, Intruder &, from certain angles, the front end reminds me of the DH Venom.

Lots of eye-twisting in this build - Cool! :mellow:
