I'm seeing F-100 nose intake, F-102 cockpit, T-33/P-80 ventral intakes, F-15 wings, and F-104 tail.  Anyone here make this?  anyone?  Beuhler?

You forgot the F-15 tail-planes, too! It has Hi-Lo pitch control!

If I had the donor kits I'd almost be tempted to build that! ;D

Hmmmm, I have actually, but I'd have to add an engine to qualify for the current GB, or make it a glider!  :o

But is it single- or twin-engined? :unsure:

Better be three engines then, just in case.  ;D

I'm sitting on a rather large backlog of FB finds so I'm going to start to finally let them trickle through. I hope none have already been posted. I try to keep up but find it hard to do most times. This one, for instance, I seem to sort of recall seeing here but I'm not sure. I didn't see it here in this thread when I recently looked... I could have missed it anyway, though. Oh well, no harm no foul either way I guess!

"A build that I completed except for three crewmen. This was an "alternate" type of build using the Dragon M1A2 Sep v2 and "repurposing" it. I did add more weathering after these photos were taken.

As I was about to leave the hobby an IPMS group member said, have fun and do something different and this what I did."

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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