qn30jEkPz7 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Two designs proposed in A 1952 RAE report “An Investigation into an Aircraft to Fly at a Mach Number of 2, Aero.2462” 3D printed at 1/72 scale, painted with acrylics decals from spares First up, looking like the results of a liaison between an EE Lightning and an F-104. Design with engines in the fuselage which they really didn’t fancy 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 And their basic design which they preferred with engines in nacelles 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cngaero Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 They're a couple of brilliant models. I think they both fall into the "If Only" category of British designs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by that it’d have been a spectacular way to burn gargantuan quantities of aviation fuel very quickly 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 That is nice work, I see shades of a Yak-28 Firebar in the second model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Brantley Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Those are very cool models! 😎 Wow, the first design was just stuck on ugly wasn't it? But the second design is much more handsome imho! That nose looks so familiar; where have we seen that before? 😀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abandoned Project Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 They are fabulous. You can clearly see the EE lightning in the first and the second looks like an anorexic RB66 Douglas destroyer. Well done on all the hard work done to print them. Time well spent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfman Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Great modelling, they look fast and furious ! Wulfman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Super models. The second one must have had some connection to the Bristol T.188 - it looks spookily similar. It looks like 3D printing has arrived in the modeling arena! I've still got a stash of balsa to work through first though...

Alpha Juliet Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Thanks god they didnt take the first one any further - what an ugly brute! Great to see these, especialy being 3D printed. Well done LostC! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonM Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 The first one looks a bit (to me a least) like a Saunders Roe SRA-1 flying boat with the hull chopped off.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
