USAF Avro F-95 “Can-nuke” Completed

[Dizzyfugu]

Very pretty and plausible - even though I am not certain about the F-91 designation as it was used IRL?

It was used after the timeline of this What If.  I've never been a fan of having to shoehorn a Whif designation into the real world where it wasn't used.

That was the Republic XF-91 Thundercepter, effectively an F-84 F with an extra four rocket engines and re e tapered wings.

Looking great! 

There actually was a proposed "nuclear Sparrow" although IIRC it looked significantly different to the standard missile.

Looks great.

Reading through, couldf !/48th Sparrow !'s work for a !/72 scale model?

Exact same 2/3 ratio between 1/48 and 1/72 as between 1/48 and 1/32 so it would maintain the exact same relative size.

Better pics tomorrow, along with backstory and a Completed Builds post, but here she is for now...

Avro F-95A Grizzly

[AeroplaneDriver]

So I did go with a designation change to F-95 since my timeframe shifted and things didnt jive with F-91.  Full backstory tomorrow.

Beautiful mate .    

[Old Wombat]

Not really my favourite aircraft but I do like that!

[PR19_Kit]

That looks suitably lethal with that blunt nose and those BIG missiles! 

[Gondor]

Looks very 1950's
