Excellent job on this rare aircraft. I have seen 55118 many times when I have visited Pima Air Museum in Tucson, AZ.

Guess it worked! Yes, I saw 55119 in Dayton last year also. Half the fun of building the kit was the research into what the designers were up to, and I left mighty impressed. I kept thinking of a 1957 Chevy era of technology, going Mach 2! With variable inlets, all-flying tails, no ailerons, side control stick tested... Too bad about the flaming brakes...

Yes and with an ejection seat right in front of the intake, I am sure it made the test pilots nervous. The engineers in the early jet age produced some cool machines. I am working on a F4D-1 Skyray- that's a jet that was difficult to fly but looked very futuristic and advanced.

Has to be either inspired by the Thunderbirds or vice versa. Looks great.

Looking really awesome! I am even more happy that I have one in my stash after seeing that it can be turned into such an impressing piece... 🙂

Album info

I've managed my stash here and have been a contributor for years but don't do the "social media" side of the site and have yet to add an album. I didn't see how in the FAQ, so here is a test. The F-107A is an early Trumpeter kit but was not their tooling so was better than their other releases at the time. I started this one years ago and put it aside until my finishing skills had improved.
