This is just a random kitbash I threw together from the junk box. It's not really finished but I lost interest so it's been sitting around.

It's supposed to be a 1/72nd scale miniature aircraft (similar to the BD-5) but a slightly larger and more useful take on the armed BD-5 concept.

I had a tiny toy X-3 stiletto, probably roughly 1/144 scale (I don't remember where I got it, but it didn't even have windows, they were painted on) and chopped the nose off. Grafted a 1/72nd scale Arii BD-5 cockpit to the fuselage, and added 1/144 scale F-16 wings and vertical stabilizer. I don't remember where the elevators came from.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy

Looks a really nice "concept" aircraft
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Nicely proportioned and very credible - like to see it painted up!  :thumbsup:

Sure looks the part!  :thumbsup:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

A very creative and interesting use of odd parts.  Well done.

Nice!!!!  Arm it with Sidewinders and/or Mavericks and call it a point defense aircraft.

Thanks for the comments everyone

I'll probably go ahead and finish this one (still have some filling to do on the bottom) and then do some more scale o rama / kitbashing. For some reason lately I'm in a small aircraft kick...

What is the beautiful little twin-boomer on the left? Will you create a topic about it? That would be pleasant... ;D

Agreed - it's got Scaled Composites and Edgley all over it; a little Ares, a little Optica, etc.
Makes me want to do it to a CT-114...  :drink:
