| Still I wonder if they would have had the same problems that Beechcraft had with thier civvie aircraft with this tail. Over many hours of flight, compresability still happened and the aircraft started to have structural problems. In a fighter such as this, because of its performance requirements, I wonder if it eventually would be a problem.
Still, exellent research and it is a beautiful re-design. Is the model a factory model or a garage kit?

| I love to see these what if prototypes that actually worked. The what if Harry Turtledove sci-fi guy in me would have liked to see some of these ships in the air in active squadrons. Bubble canopied Corsairs, V talied 109s, Bearcats, the Shinden, so on and so forth. I forgot the name of the comic but they do this where planes that never flew, but were practical flew.

| Nope, it is not a bomb: it is a trailed external fuel tank made with the frame of a V1. The connecting bar was also the pipeline for the fuel.
I don't remember the name, but it remained an experiment.
