Doin' a little more work on this one. I fashioned the rear portion of the cockpit out of the front windscreen and the original canopy frame.

And the same cockpit cover cleaned up a bit. It will be painted with a couple of small extensions to fill the space on the canopy next to the fuselage. The decal will be extended as well.

The rear cockpit cover is done. I envision this one having an ejection seat that fires back at a 45 degree angle and that cockpit cover is the egress path. ^_^

Also, my 1:48 Skyraider for size comparision.

Damn Eddie, that thing is HOT! That makes me want to start throwing random planes together to get some badass near-space orbiters. Keep up the great work and keep posting pics.

OK, the cockpit cover is THE perfect touch!  It really makes a wonderful jet even better!

I'm not sure how you can still amaze me even when I'm expecting to be amazed so I'm already thinking yea sure it's gonna be amazing but then POW! I'm totally amazed...well then it's kind of amazing to be amazed at being amazed...err..or something like that     :dum:

You need a cape so we can call you "The Amazing Eddie"!!!

Eddie you never fail to completely bowl me over with your builds! I love that cool little rocketplane!

I am truly humbled in the presence of so much greatness here.

Slickness in 3D...superb and fantastic, that is looking way too good !

[Eddie M.]

Thank you everyone for the encouraging words. B) Sorry Shaper, no stack this time. It's too big. Maybe with a smaller plane. What I did do is take some advice from JHM and build my own base for my creation. It's just a basic fuselage that my Hyper Hornet can piggy back on. I think it will work. Thanks Man Ho!

I really like how you call a "simple base" something that is incredibly complex, and superbly done...wow!

[John Howling Mouse]

Yeah, this is looking "ILM" good!!!

Cool !

Thanks Gents! B) I finished one side of my "support" aircraft. I used self adhesive white labels that I painted blue for the windows. I used them because of their shape. Maybe one day I'll detail the inside with seats and tray tables with pretty stew...oh sorry, flight attendants bringing a nice bloody mary. Maybe if I live to be 80....
