Just getting silly. I didn't spend alot of time on the render, but I may go back and to more to it now I see the basic concept.

I think Big Bopper and March Hare are up next.

Careful! You're going to have both the SW and BSG fanatics after you!
IIRC, I saw a build of something like this but I can't remember where.

A quickie profile of a Lockheed/Stark Industries fighter.

The backstory is that late in the War, the SSR and Howard Stark got word of a new advanced jet fighter. Stark arranged a secret meeting with Clarence Johnson of Lockheed and entered a partnership to supply Lockheed with the weapons, fire controls and delivery systems for the new L133 jet fighter. The war ended before the systems were fully developed, but Stark managed to buy a fleet of L133s for SHIELD for deployment on hellicarriers and land bases around the world.

The jets were successful and a valuable asset in SHIELD's inventory, but little of their success is know in public.

Very Nice Bluesman. Too bad the only 1/72 L-133 available is from Sharkit at $77 CDN.
Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

Thanks for the comments. I am working on operational L-133s, I've shown the prototype. As far as a model, line drawings, some sheet styrene and foam will get you going. Seal the foam and Bob's your uncle.

After Lockheed and Stark Industries fixed the gearing problems, the SSR built up a small fleet of 9 XRf-11's for high altitude recon missions.

The SSR XF-47.


Based on the Repblic XP-47, the SSR developed the XF-47 to counter threats from Hydra's Luftwaffe inventory, the Soviets and even craft from "beyond Earth"

Howard Stark high modified the basic Republic air frame for enhanced performance in speed, range and climb rate and the XF-47 could carry a wide inventory of standard weapon and advanced weapon packages devleoped by Stark and the SSR. The XF-47's could operate from land bases or the fleet of SSR Hellicarriers.

A small highly specialized fleet of 34 XF-47's were in the SSR inventory and served in roles from recon, intercept, fighter and ground attack. The XF-47's entered service in 1944 and flew until 1961.

Very nice.  It looks to combine aspects of the XP-47J and the P-47N as the cowling doesn't look long enough for the XP-72's R4360, though I could see that as part of the next evolution of this design.

Is this a non-bubble-top early XP-47J? Anyway, I like this addition to the family.

The one and only XP-47J "Superbolt" was a razorback airframe, not one with a bubble canopy.
