This is new to me- thanks Elider for the image.

Thanks Paul & Elider, are their any artwork shots or model photos to go with it by any chance as i think this one could be buildable . I should be able to do it from the drawing but an impression or model gives a better feel for the shape and contours of the aircraft to work upon.

Cheers

Looks like a F11F Tiger and a MiG-25 had an unfortunate accident in a dark alley...

A t-tail - someone around here is going to be happy...  

The side profile rather makes me think "Tornado".

There was a model done for the book some years ago from Aero Publishers on US Navy Fighters (by Lloyd Jones?).  It also had these three-views.  As I understand it, this was the "supersonic" variant of the Grumman set of design studies for carrying the Bendix "Eagle" in competition with what won as the F6D.  From data I've read, and Jay Miller has shown me, the "high-subsonic" variant was a modified "Intruder" and the "low=subsonic" variant was a modified S2F-1 though I can see a W2F-1 being used later.

Found this post searching about the F-12F. This plane was impressive... any model built?

Thorvic built one of these beasties up last year.
