Too bad the real one did not work out, the US Navy could have really used a replacement for the Intuder.
Nice job, thicker fuselage than I would have thought. Kit and scale please?

Nice. Looks like a flying toasted sandwich...

And me.
I love it! :wub:
Very interesting to see it beyond the computer renderings of the 90s. Quite different to what I expected, particularly the good forward from from the cockpit.
Good work!
I believe the Fleet Air Arm were cleared for export sometime in the mid-2000s...?
Very nice. :wub:
I've got the 1/72 scale A-12 from Planet Models, but it'll be a long time before I build it. I have also heard that Modelcollect is planning to come out with a new 1/72 (or 1/48?) scale A-12 sometime in the future. I can hardly wait!
I've seen the only scale mockup at the Veterans Memorial Air Park (http://fortworthaviationmuseum.com) in Fort Worth, Tx, it is noticeably thick, but very cool looking in person.
As for the toasted sandwich here in the colonies we called it a Dorito ;)
Very nice Tom . . . you are on a nice roll here ;). Is this what they refer to as the "Cool Ranch" camo scheme? :wacko:
Keep them coming for sure! :thumbsup:
Best regards,
Kem

The Modelcollect one is supposed to be 1/48th scale :o
I'm quite eagerly awaiting that
Very nice, great job on the scheme as well :thumbsup:
