F15/106 Hybrid

[Eddie M.]

As some of you may known, I've been talking about bashing these two jets that I got at Wally world for $11 apiece. This will be the first build for me that started with new models. WOW! What a difference in putting things together. This probably looks a bit mundane, but I've got a certain lookin mind. Simplicity is the key. ^_^

No offence Eddie, but if you think that looks mundane you're a wierdo!!

It looks anything but mundane.  Cant wait to see more.  Who will the operator be and what time frame?

I think I'm going to try and combine the decals, but keep the F-106 color scheme, maybe going for a late 60s, early 70s look. I am going to use the weapons bay and use new missiles. I've also got the re route the intakes a bit. I'll be chipping away at it over the next few .........months

in the first pic, i was agreeing with you....kinda mundane.

but seeing that underside shot with that giant bay......wicked !

and Aeroman, it's already an established fact that Eddie's a wierdo !

That one looks bloody good already.  I'd fill in the F-106's main gear wells and use the F-15's gear.  That wing should allow you lots of stores hardpoints; you could even chop the tips a bit for wingtip rails.

Oh. My. God. I need a tissue.........

Eddie, that is so beautiful. You, sir, are a modeling god. Should look great next to the 18/Mirage. Also, just thinking with an idea, what if you used the Hill Gray 2 scheme like the 106 Jennings posted earlier? Also, any chances of the reverse for this? You know, 106 fuse with 15 wings or some such?

I'm already looking at what I can make with the leftovers ^_^

Other than the fact that it was a serious proposal, how about the F-15 wings on a F-4?  I think you'd need a bit more than the F-15's wings to properly fit the F-106 fuselage.

Wow.

I'm just loving 2006 so far - lots of delta-canards!

The only thing left of the 106 is the aft fuselage. It would almost have to end up as either a trainer (T-38 type?) or test bed aircraft.. I do like the idea of a F-4/15 mix. B)

Looks class Eddie boy.

 

[BlackOps]

Off to another great start Eddie! So is it easier working with new parts or is it easier with a built kit that already has a shape you can see?

JMNs may shout "Hey! With a F-15 kit and a F-106 kit, cannot you see what simplicity is leading to?!?!!!   "
I prefer simplicity your way, Eddie Alas I have not the skills to reach such a level in simplicity...
