Very nervous about posting this one its taken me about 4 weeks to get the nerve together, I have knocked together a little stand out of some scrap Perspex sheet mounted onto a 3mm thick Cork base. My first aircraft model in about 30+ years its a 1/72 resin kit by Freight Dog Models.
A whatif of the almost finished but scrapped SR-177A a mixed power rocket and jet high altitude interceptor designed to be almost a manned rocket to shoot down Soviet Bombers before they could get to the UK.
SR-177
It would have been a hell of a ride for the pilot but Ballistic Missiles killed its role. I have imagined if the RAF bought the 177 but took out the rocket and converted its rocket fuel tanks into jet fuel tanks and turned it into a pure jet fighter armed with twin ADENS and Sidewinder AIM 9J missiles.
