I always saw the Flight Concepts/Boeing Skyfox rebuild of the T-33 as a potential mini A-10.
All you'd need would be modern TFE731 engines installed and equipment upgraded to today's standards. Everything else would work nicely. I like the idea of a single-seat attack version with nose guns.I always saw the Flight Concepts/Boeing Skyfox rebuild of the T-33 as a potential mini A-10.
I remember Skyfox from back in 1980s. Nifty good looking jet. One was built.
Be cool personal sport jet today with contemporary engines.
Re the Skyfox, I wonder how one would go bashing a T-33 and a Learjet together...with a lot of PSR to get one?
Say...... what if we throw the Skyfox upgrade into the rocket-armed F-94C?

That looks well doable. The only question would be where do you put the guns? F-94A style wing pods?Or P-51 style
I'd go with a minimum-change conversion and use F-94-style gun pods; redesigning the wing to stick guns in would be an expensive pain and definitely cut down on rage by eliminating the wing tanks.That looks well doable.

With P-80 or T-33 1/72 and Intruder 1/100
The P-80E has a scaled down F-94C backend. Not sure about the wings. XF-90 maybe?I don't know that it's that scaled down either, since the two aircraft are pretty much the same size. I think the wings may stem from the same data as the F-90's so one could be scaled from the other (much as the F404 and F110 share similar nozzle contours, just scaled differently). I do remember reading that the P-80E started with a T-33 fuselage and went to a single-seat cockpit and canopy while keeping the extra length.
