F-51-R Interceptor
« on: July 30, 2012, 10:56:50 AM »
Had the Germans built the "Amerika bomber" and it could reach America, then it would need to be intercepted and fast with Griffon power and 20mm cannons. And this is my answer to the Luft 46 bombers.
It started out a High Planes Unlimited Racer "Precious Metal" kit from Australia. The fuslage,canopy,props and spinner are High planes. The wings,landing gear,and horizontal stablizer and decals are Tamiya. Wheels are True Details. Cockpit is Verlinden. Wing pylon and drop tanks are Monogram.Cannon fairings are from Accurate Miniatures P-51. Cannon barrels are Quick boost.







Thanks for looking... John

::snicker:: For a wild AU, Charles Mantell (I think that's his name) is flying one of these and, instead of disappearing as he did in our world, manages to bring down a very surprised UFO and crew.

That's a truly gorgeous piece of work.  How about a F-15R-2 with ramjets on the wingtips?
