It should be in here!  :thumbsup:

Never seen anything like that before, looks great.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Don't have a clue what it is, but I know I want one!  :wub:

Looks in all honesty like a heavily modified F-111 fuselage and tail with HP Victor wings and horiz. stabilizers.  Nice job! :bow:

The nose is very F-111-ish, for sure.

My best guess is that the fuselage, engines and fin are from a Valiant (must be the very old (1/96th?) one), the outer wings are scaleorama'd Hunter, and the gear, tanks and possibly the tailplanes are Harrier

Hunter wings and Aardvark nose, definitely.

Now whether it is based on a real project or not, I couldn't say, but it sure has an Armstrong Whitworth or Gloster feel to it... :rolleyes:

The proportions mirror the Gloster E1/44 a tad for sure, but with a pointy nose and wing sweep of course.
