What if mating a F-4 1/100 and a Mirage IIIC 1/72?

This will need a little work because cockpit area in F-111 is broader than in F-4, but I think it is a good starting point.

Some wild stuff here!

I always liked the idea of a fixed wing Tomcat. I did some sketches of one many years ago using an A-5 Vigilante forward fuselage and wings.

And THAT fixed wing model is what made me like the idea of a fixed wing Tomcat with Vigilante type wings. :)

Not to threadjack, but was there also not a model of the Tomcat with a single vertical tail fin too?

That wouldn't be that far off, SAAB did look at a J79-powered version of the Draken.

There is a nice side view in the WAPJ sidebar page on never built Drakens that accompanies their in-depth look at the Draken.
