To the best of my knowledge, yes it is Robert.

I have The Kiwi Resin's 1/72 conversion to the A-12.

Now Kiwi has also announced an 1/72 A-12 kit.  Not sure how they are building it.

Work in progress ::

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

I wonder what is meant by 'Long Altitude' and it says turboshaft but I can't see any propeller or ducted fan anywhere ---

Obviously something of an extraction.  The intakes render it subsonic and the projections on the wingtips do not help its RCS unless they hold some "cloaking device" or similar technology.  I think I'll pass.

Yep, definitely see potential for sci-fi project.  I'll list it as a "maybe," after I get a Flying Dorito A-12.

I could see it either as an accompaniment for the F-302 in Stargate SG1 or perhaps as a Martian fighter.

Obviously. Just look at the name. Turboshaft Engine Interceptor  - it's a TEI-Fighter!  ;D :icon_beer:

Actually, some TIE Interceptor solar panels wouldn't look to bad on this.

It IS a little more streamlined than the usual Imperial product...I think "Long Altitude" is a mistranslation of "High Altitude" ( Stratospheric, donchaknow. )

For some reason, I see this in Swiss markings and scheme similar to this:



Maybe a backstory, of the design team escape into Switzerland at the end of the war and continue their efforts under Swiss control.

Thanks, Greg. Just what I needed: ANOTHER prototype to fall in love with and have a great need to model.

EDIT: What’s that? The only kit available is on Shapeways? OH GOOD

It's not often that I'm happy Scalemates isn't complete.  :-* And for those, like me, who don't want to Google the name of the company here's its page.
