Couldn't figure out how to get a picture in the other forum, so here goes.

Another view.

Oooh, sharpola!!

Over here there's pix of one in TWA colors (the 'TWA in TBOverse' thread) but EZBoard seems to be down tonight.

That's another one of Allen Ury's, from his Fantastic Plastic site:

Mach 3 Airliner

There's lots of nifty things over there. I admire his stamina. He seems to produce finished models at the rate of one every ten to fourteen days.

Ya know... that just has a nice hint of evil. Beauty.

That 3/4 front view looks definately reptillian - should it of been B-70 Cobra ?

Great model/great scheme

Wow...is that ever sweet ! It is one fierce looking bird in those colours. Did you add a bomb bay ?

My only complaint is, don't you think you made the undercarriage a bit long ?

Keep 'em coming !

Ooooh, isn't she a beauty?

Very menacing. Lovely

John Howling Mouse · January 29, 2005, 11:08:08 AM

Definitely a "Cobra" in that first view! Very eye-catching!!!

Sorry, no bomb bay......although two bomb bays open with numerous sticks of 2,000lb bombs falling out would be neat.....hmmmm

I chickened out and used steel rods to support the monster. Next one will have the rods coming out of the exhaust.....maybe in a steep climb launching phoenix missiles at the hoards of Soviet bombers over northern Canada.....

That is just plain sweet.

I had an idea for using acrylic rods for a wall display of an in-flight B-58. I had though either curving them up from a flat base, or having them come straight out of a wall plaque. That sort of treatment would be fantastic with this beauty you got here.

Joe C-P · February 01, 2005, 12:34:39 PM

It looks...

Klingon-esqe.

Or maybe a giant roc caught in mid-flap.

All I know is I wouldn't want that flying over me if I were the enemy.

Awesome! B)
