Star Trek SR-71?

[seadude]

Somebody accidentally gave me the idea for this while talking on Facebook. Kinda got the idea to kitbash an SR-71 with Star Trek warp nacelles. Take the regular SR-71 engines off and replace them with warp nacelles. Maybe develop it into an advanced Starfleet fighter or something. What do you guys think?

[Squizzette]

I'm going to go with a YES on that idea.

or perhaps I should say, "Make it so"   

[kerick]

Do it!!

There was a Star Trek Novel that Featured an SR-71 with Nacelles like that! the Title was Traitor Winds! Google if You want to see if it's What You were Thinking of,OK? Dan

I am not certain, but I remember having seen a SF-modded SR-71. Was something with the engines, too, but I am not sure if it was Star Trek?

Nice idea, anyway, and the light finish should look interesting, too. Curious to see the result!

You gotta go Nike & Jean-Luc Picard on that idea!



Just Do It! & Make it so!

This is the only image I could find. Just an image of the craft on the cover of the book. Supposedly, it's called a Wraith class shuttle. Kind of odd that the artist who did the cover of the book used the SR-71 as a basis for the shuttle? You'd at least think Starfleet would use something a little more advanced than a 20th century flying craft.    Anyway, if and when I do build the model, I'm not sure if I'll build it exactly as shown on the book cover, or make it a little more advanced with different warp nacelles, etc.

Do it!!! Would be a perfect entry for the on-going Sci Fi Group Build.

Great idea. .. . .
