Ooo, there are some cool designs associated with that on the wiki - what show/book/?? is it devoted to?  :unsure:

And then this - no name, no provenance, nothing but coolness.



I think it's an F-18 two-holer with Kfir wings and vertical stabilizer ...

I see a Phantom nose and F-16 down the back too. Very cool!
Looks vaguely Israeli.

I'm saving that pic. I have several models on the shelf from long ago that I was pondering what to do with them. Some RW, some whiff, but I know I could do better versions today. I just didn't want to throw them away so this might be a fitting revision for them.

Can you tell if this pic shows a one seater or two seater? It looks like a two seat canopy but I only see one helmet in either aircraft.

I did a google search for the image and it is from John Wallin Liberto. He has a boatload of stuff that's awesome.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I found this today:



Kaman K-16B, tilt-wing VTOL research aircraft based on the Grumman JRF-5 Goose amphibian. One aircraft only, delivered in 1959 but never flown in free flight.
