[PR19_Kit]

Tanker may be needed even without Starfighter wings 'cause I don't know where the go-juice lives...

In the fin? 

[Tophe]

Wow! Shortening that much creates a completely new shape, I love this!

[NARSES2]

Reminds me of a couple of USAF projects, but can't remember which at the moment. They will come to me .......eventually

The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin comes to mind;




I reckon it needs a rota-trailer for taxiing & take-offs;

Wet wings (and fin), with four wet hardpoints and drop tanks, missiles over the wing?

I've got two kits of that funny little thing. Not built one yet though.

It does have some similarities to the Fairey Delta 1 ?

I cut down the fin, did some initial basic sanding, and attached the inlet and exhausts.

Definately more Lightningy.

Hmmmm, reminiscent of the Sky part of Sky-Diver.  I'll have to put some SNEBs on it.

Definately more Lightningy.

Very much so

Just realised i've had this staring me in the face from the coffee table subconsciously influencing my chopping and hacking.



That's a Boulton Paul P.111 and i'm surprised none of you posted a pic of it.

Glued the wings on today which means PSR can begin soon.
