om... Check out one of the F-102's competitors. This aircraft is truly "out there" when compared to the technology of the time: XF-103 Mock-Up: http://wpafb.af.mil/museum/research/fighter/f103.jpg XF-103 Cut-Away: http://www.testpilot.ru/usa/republic...ges/xf103v.gif XF-103 Colors: http://www.alpha-net.ne.jp/users2/ku...st103color.jpg XF-103 Model: http://www.collectaire.com/modelpages/xf103/xf103.html The modeling page is all color with all views. Truly ahead of its time, but only ranked 8th out of 9 design proposals that led to the F-102. Rob The wing and tail show striking similarities, IMO, to the MiG-21. The intake, however, looks like the F-100 follow-on (F-107?) that people were developing..... One incredible machine, however. Truly a fighter that 1950s comic book/cartoon types would have flipped over! DEP
