TheRealMrEd Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) As usual, I waited a long time for this model, hoping someone else would jump in, etc. etc. No one else did, so I did, and here is something you won't often see, the YF-94D, which was actually a converted YF-94C in an earlier life. This aircraft was going to be a ground-bashing version of the F-94 series, but that never really got off the ground. This plane and it's single sister ship were used to test the M-61 Gatling gun and 20mm cannon. When these tasks were completed, they were seconded by the Air Force to the Mass ANG for use as trainers. For those interested, the build thread and art work are HERE The pics of old "Pinocchi-nose": Hope that you enjoyed looking as much as I enjoyed adding this bird to the collection. As usual, while not perfect nor excruciatingly detailed, it's a lot better than the one I had before...

Toryu Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 That‘s a fine model - great conversion and excellent NM finish! I wonder what they stowed away in that nose, maybe ballast to keep the nose wheel down? 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
