Here's one of my failed entries to the JSDF GB from a while back.

Basically, it's a Heller 1/72 YF-22 rebuilt to be a canard delta plane.  Figured it'd be something the Japanese would do...

That looks ready to mix it up with some of those pre-Macross VF-0s, or whatever they call them.

It's a damn sight prettier than the cRaptor! :wub: Very cool build, Anthony.

Looks like a worthy winner of the ATD-X  :thumbsup:

Interesting. The top view reminds me a bit of the Viggen.

You should, as... even if I log out to come as a simple visitor, not a member, I see them (they are links, in order to be included as several in a reply). If you click on quote for the first text, you will see those links, detailed between img and /img. If your computer cannot read these links, you have a problem yes with the picture host provider maybe. Poor modeller, not enjoying this SO pretty F-3... :blink:

Nice conversion, gives the cRaptor a real nice shift on the appearance.

Wholeheartedly agree with Pyro's comments

This thing was just a plain FUN build.  I've got some more craptacular YF-22's in the stash I can't figure out what to build as.  They'll probably end up like this, along with a production F-22 that get's built like this thing.

BTW, this was a "quick" build in that I didn't care about blending or gaps.  I just was determined to get this thing DONE!!!
