Awesome build! :wub:  You really are the scratch build master.

Would you be able to give some hints an tips on how you scratch build your wings etc as I have a couple of projects coming up that require this and it would be nice to get some ideas.

Cheers Stuart

Hope Anigrand will release a XF-12F model one day... I think : a Republic F-12, Grumman F-12F and Lockheed YF-12 side by side would be nice... :P
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Fantastic! I asked anigrand if they planned to make a XF-12F and here's what they answered to me (despite an AWFUL english fault in my mail "Does anigrand will  :P )
I wrote
"I like the twin engine Grumman F-12F (competitor of the Phantom in 1956). does anigrand will release a model of it? "
Here's the answer...

Thanks for your email and suggestion. Yes, we planned to make the XF12F-1 assume in next spring.

Best Regards,

Thanks for small miracles: am I ever glad this post got revived (missed it the first time?).

Outstanding job, Thorvic!   :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

And I'm not just saying that 'cause it happens to be a T-Tail...   :wub:  
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.

Small miracle is mine : I just love supersonic naval fighters (so rare...)

Strewth talk about a thread revival, i might be able to find the drawings i used but it is a 9 yr old build ! , Ironically Martin H dug it out from the SIG back catalogue and had it on display at SMW and i only noticed when i saw the pictures afterwards  :banghead:

Martin H

yeah its been hidden away for a fair few years so was over due some display time. It fitted in quite well with the toom line up on the Project cancelled stand. It sat along side my even older proto phantom. And there are at least two more tooms on my build idea list to build.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.
