F-107's

And here are the stores actual flown on the F-107 prototypes:

I rather favor the idea of using an ECM pod in the saddle tank for tactical purposes.

And finally we have the TF-107 proposal:


And a 3-View:

I rather like the idea of this one being adapted as a Wild Weasel aircraft.

Oh, all of these were scanned out of William Simone's F-107 book from Ginter Books; there's a lot I didn't scan.  I can't recommend this book highly enough.

Hi Evan

Sorry to edit the post but we needed to shrink down the images for use on the forum.

Hope you understand

Thanks for shrinking those Thor, my dialup started smoking when I tried to view 'em earlier.

"TX-28 Special Store"

A nuke, perhaps?  I suppose they were fashionable back then.

"Wing tanks -- observed only on 55119 (used for cameras) -- shown on 55120 for clarity"

That's another thing: the box art from my Trumpeter 1/72 F-107 shows 55119 with wing tanks.  The kit does not contain wing tanks, unless they are broken down in such fashion that I would not recognize them.  I suppose I can scavenge tanks from anything else of the same period.

Not a problem.  Those were done kinda late at night and I was already somewhat under the influence of Morpheus.  The thought occurred to me that I should have done so just before I dropped off and I wasn't in any coherent condition then (Thank you, Nyquil).

Yep, that was a nuke, much the same one the F-105's bomb bay was designed around.  As I said, these are scanned from the book and there's a whole lot I didn't scan.  Me, I want to put a suitably shaped ECM pod in there instead for tactical use.

Sweet....107s rule !

Such a sexy looking a/c, too bad they never went into service !

That 100B looks wicked in the regular 100 markings.....Mmmmmm

And Ladies and Gents lets not forget the prize for the Alvis Petre Teenie Bopper Build is none other than a F-107!
