Noice.

Really like this one

Looks as though it could have been a Curtis project to me for some reason ? I think it's the "front end" in particular makes me think that. Looks a little like some of the late Curtis fighter projects.

Well done! Great surgery skills. Sure hope the cannon is synced with the prop!

It'd look really good in AAF OD over gray, or overall black as a night interdictor over Korea. And those inboard pylons look like they came off a Hornet

Nice one! I like the slightly shaggy look of it - has some Steampunk appeal to me. I love the compact size and the muscular look a lot, and the Atlantic scheme (?) suits it well, too. And The German offeicer rank symbol on the fin is a witty detail, too.

If NARSES2 had not alreayd put it on the Whiffys list, I certainly would have done so.

Sometimes I wonder

Chris a.k.a.Narses2. (Narses by the way was the Byzantine Roman General who reconquered Rome from the Goths. Something the oft lauded Belisarius failed to do. Unfortunately he had a rather minor physical problem, which I don't share

)

Love the look of that - like some paintings I've seen - Bravo !!
