Biggest "headache" would be properly doing the main landing gear so it didn't hit stores or anything; unless you're going for a low-wing design.

Would you happen to have drawings of both a F-100D and a F-107?  I've got a couple company model pics I'd like to get drawings from.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Oooh I like it  :wub:

Does it still have a belly tank?

Giving it the F-100 wing definately gives it much more of a tactical fighter look, but without the Lightnings highly swept wing would it still be a real hot rod?  :tornado:

That does look a beaut. If somebody was to build it, tho, I'd rather see the traditional Lightning wing on her, keep it real !

sadly that just wouldn't fit the 1/72 hasegawa lightnings i have....

don't make me feel bad barry - i'm trying to get some of them finished this year, i promise....

i just don't know where my time goes....

maybe i should cut down on the plane ogling and beer drinking?

Works for me.  The two model pics I have show enough that I have some idea of where to start.   I''ll keep y'all appraised of my progress as it should prove to be a rather attractive aircraft.

Well, I've spent the better part of today snipping out little tiny bits of styrene to fill the gaps in my Morsair's wings, etc.  Oh, and a bit of time throwing more "mud" onto my T-51 Sentinel trainer.  Man, this part of the journey is dull.  I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to work on a luxury such as this hobby but... :zzz:  :zzz:  :zzz:  at this point.

Wonder which one of us is ahead?
