Again, thanks to fellow modeler Bill Dye, who inspired this build.

 

As usual, it's not perfect, but it's better than the one I had before...

@TheRealMrEd Thats a neat job, Ed. I like it, a lot! :) What I admire about your work is that you tackle the unusual, using all of your considerable modelling skill and knowledge to get results such as this. It would be more of a modelling desert without your like inspiring us.

Nice work on an interesting a/c

 

Seeing your reference to the YF-96A. Did you know that I had built one.

That is very nice, too, John @John R :). Like Ed, I love your interest in these prototypes and experimentals. My sentIments above apply equally.

Thank you all for the kind comments!

 

I'll confess, my first love in modeling has always been conversions, dating back to around 1971, when I converted an Airmodel vacuform F9f-2 or whatever straight wing Panther jet to an F9F-8 or so Cougar swept wing jet.  Ah, the discovery of plastic card and Squadron Green Putty!

 

I still like to keep the hand in, particularly after a run of more or less "normal" models.  I'll have to see what I can come up with in future....

Thanks Dennis, appreciate that.

 

John, I believe I'm going to take a break from BMF or NMF aircraft for I bit.  I think I'll go back to a decades old shelf queen, an XB-40 bomber escort.
