The worst case for me was the Contrails XB-70. I waited for DECADES for a 1:72 kit, and finally gave up and bought the Contrails vacuform kit, only to have AMT release the XB-70 the following year 🙁

Spare parts box. Not sure which model it came from - perhaps F-4 Phantom?

Yes Robert, you are correct. The F-108 was originally intended as a Mach 3 escort fighter to the XB-70. it was cancelled after the engine program was cancelled. If it looks vaguely familiar, that's because most of the R&D from the program went into the development of the Mach 2 A-5 Vigilante. So, not a complete waste by North American. Model by Anigrand (1:72 cast resin)

Just about done. Uploaded a couple of snaps. The aircraft is essentially complete; I just have to make a stand for it. I was originally going to just use the landing gear wells, but I didn't like the look. Instead, I've drilled a 7/16" hole through the model's CoG and glued a 7/16" styrene tube (3/8" I.D.)in place. I'm getting a 3/8" solid acrylic rod which I'm going to mount on a spare piece of solid oak from a floor installation a few years back, and mount the nice gold plaque (that comes with the limited edition kit) on the oak base. Then I'll take the final set of pics, and put this 25-year old project to rest!

By all means, Ben, go ahead and run with the idea. I'm always happy to see someone else's execution of the same idea. My paint scheme is totally based on the colour scheme being used at the time. I'd love to see another rendition of a CAF Osprey!

Thank you, Alex! I like unusual subjects, and if they're resin or vacuform, I know that not too many people will be building them.

Fantastic work, Dave! I do not know how I could have missed that (I am so fond of X-planes and prototypes like you 😉 ) Nevertheless, I will wait for the styrene kit of this plane 😉

Final results look great, Dave! Sometimes you just need to put a kit on the shelf to let the gremlins work there way out of it….

Cool! I am always afraid when it comes to assemble such frameworks. Congrats!

Love it! I remember the movie - one of few such that were shown in Eastern Europe these times and as a kid I was soooo impressed... Great build, congrats!
