Very French.   

Very weird!   

(Pretty much the same thing, really.    )

[NARSES2]

You could stab someone with that ! Beware the Old Bill on the lookout 

It does look very French and the cockpit has the look of a cabin for some reason. Waiting to see what colour scheme she ends up in.

You never thought you'd write that
OK who are you and what have you done with Kit ?

      

I really did write that though. It looks REALLY good as it is, doesn't it?

OK I'll believe you said that but I'm still suspicious 🤔 😁😁
Your dead right tho...hell she looks good 👍 😍
Longer wings would actually ruin it's looks I think .

Still some PSR-ing need to be done (T-tail, engine pylons and some minor work on the fuselage). The wheelbays need do be installed and a better canopy (1/72 B-47) need to be scouted..

Wings and tail from a 1/48 F-100?

[kerick]

It needs that little bullet fairing at the junction of the vertical and horizontal stabilizers. That would make this a perfect Gerry Anderson creation. Outstanding!

[63cpe]

@Spino : correct 1/48 F-100 wings. That how i ended up with the second F-100 fuselage for the L233 project. Tail is an 1/32 F-16 unit (upperhalf) and the horizontal tailplanes are again F-100.

@kerick : Yup I know what you mean. There is an underwing tank selected for this.

Dave that is brilliant bud...im lovin this muchly   

[zenrat]

Nice.   

[63cpe]

ok, time for an update.

Bullit shaped fairing on T-tail is done. Most PSR-ing is done. The black spots mark the filled pin pricks. Next up is to polish / sand these spots out. Canopy will be changed from an B-47 unit to an F-101 B unit. This means I have to create a fairing behind the rear seat otherwise there will be a gaping hole and lots of suction behind the canopy.

Engines are sanded and fitted, undercarriage is also fitted. and it's now on it's own wheels. still need to find outrigger wheels.

It's overall looks reminds me of an Americanized Yak-28 Brewer.

David aka 63CPE

[Spino]

It does give Yak-28 vibes for sure.  But at the same time it looks like a sleek US-built supersonic.  Yak-28 was supersonic, but it didn't look so sharp in my opinion.

[Gondor]

I would go for the F-101F canopy, the B has a lump at the front for an Infra Red sensor which an Attack aircraft won't need.

Well it's a canopy from the revell F-101B. The IR sensor isn't moulded as being part of the windscreen.
