I said once before that I wanted to name something after the HP series. Well, this is as close as it gets! Using a 'hobbycraft' B-58, joined the fuselage halves together, and when adding the wing, glued it, with the leading join lower using the shape of the fuselage as a ventral intake. Filling up the slots along each side, and using Evergreen tubing sliced down the centre line for the engines, with a section of the rear of the pod as the farings, from the engines to blend into the fuselage. Again, E/green tubing for the 'afterburner's'. The cockpit canopy is half of a 1/48 P-51A drop tank. Didn't worry about the clear canopy, (too much mucking around) I'll just paint it dk grey, to look like polarised glass.
The engine mountings (under the wings) I added weapons packs. No idea of undercart as yet, or even a camo, they are 6 months down the track.

Phew for a minute I thought you were gonna try and peddle a picture of a broom on to us.

I invite all and any criticism, except about Eric The Dog, it's not his fault he's stupid

Heyyyyy, this was gonna be one of my Scale-O-Rama ideas (though the group-build died, I'm still making stuff the wrong scale on purpose)!!!

Oh good, now I don't have to do it anymore!  Phew!   ^_^  
Styrene in my blood and an impressive void in my cranium.
