Country:  | I'm in the same boat as Krabat. I've seen this thing before., and think it was a British engine test-bed or something. can't remember off-hand what the hell it was called, or who produced it. Will get back to you on it if I remember, or get a chance to check it out on the net. | |

Something similar was intended for the Curtiss F-87 Blackhawk. | |

Country: | It's the MiG SN a, variant of the MiG-17. Graeme is right. But Grampa, you're not far away. I should have erased the Red Star.
I think it would have made a good night fighter. Lots of room for a large radar if you delete the cannon mounts. Maybe two fixed 23mm cannons and two early AAM's would have been a good armament, sufficent for almost everything.
O.K. Next one? | |
