Hmmm, a Saxocat. 

[Tophe]

Obviously, this is THE explanation why the jets of the Tomcat are so distant laterally: to keep room for the saxo part of the airframe! Thanks!

Somehow, it reminds me of the Lippisch Aerodyne:

thanks all !

it was tempting, and I had this remainder from earlier projects, a Victor fuselage, which deserved its moment of glory, even without the cockpit, but even older I had this head of Ariane 5 rocket which fit just naturally, like all the rest : and when nature fits, why resist?

You'll have to keep it in a giant cupboard, as you obviously can't store a hanger in a hangar...

some time ago I discovered Tophe's P-51 Bv-2 (with some other influence as well) :



and it fired me to get a kit of the F_82 (well, actually, several : wait and see ...)

and make an imaginary interpretation, where the whiffing consists of going to the D version of the P-51 :





the nose is a bit short, it comes from a He-59 ...


and I had to cheat a bit with the rear wheel, in order to have enough height for the pushing propeller

Wonderful, there's SO much scope in a P-82 kit. 

[Tophe]

 
So marvelous!
Drawing was easy, but all the merit (of building it actually) is yours, congratulations!

[TheChronicOne]

This is awesome!!!!

[ericr]

thanks !

let us all buy P-82s and build along !
