A little swinger. The AA107.
« on: April 12, 2020, 10:36:00 PM »
Here's something I've been working on sporadically ( which is pretty much how I work on everything ! )
It' s a 1/72 AA107 proposed training aircraft for the RAAF that employed something aking to the CA31 fuselage with a teensy swing wing ala the fighter bomber of the time.

I won't go into the finer points but suffice to say it's a model of a model.








Cute eh ? 


I'll do a feasibility study ( that means I'll shelve it and come back to it later after my Spongebob Squarepants marathon has finished) and consider releasing it as a kit.
:D

How scalable is this to a 1/48 kit?

Not so much a concept but rather something that almost happened:  https://eamonh.wordpress.com/2016/05/15/swinging-but-not-winning-the-aa-107-jet-trainer/
