Fokker D-30

[63cpe]

What if.......Fokker developed the D-23 into a jet fighter. It must have had a RR Nene for engine and a circular intake like the Fokker S-14. The lay-out in general was much like the Dehavilland Vampire but with the wings and tailbooms of the D-23. This is what you get..

The front is a meteor ( small diameter) intake glued to a 1/48 droptank of an unidentified object. The wings tailbooms etc. were taken from a resin kit I acquired cheap at the ESM 2022 show and is actually one part....canopy is a Sukhoi Su-15 part from PM kit.

Somehow the intake looks a little weird in the pictures. I'll post new pictures later.

Canopy from a PM Model Su-15, perhaps?

Canopy from a PM Model Su-15, perhaps? 

Yeah, your right. The PM model su-15 is the one... Thank you for the kind words gentlemen.

I understand this project may have been stopped due to Christmas holidays or something. I hope it will be completed in 2023.

[63cpe]

Tophe, you're correct. Due to activities for the employer, it's progress is slowed down, not stopped. During Christmas I'll pick it up again and hope to plan to finish it.
