Little toys
« on: January 12, 2013, 06:06:00 PM »
My son got as gifts two little aircraft that I cannot identify. The wings look like BAC Lightning and Starfighter, but the fuselage is different. According to the canopy size, it is about 1/144th. The only text is "Made in China". :)

Neat!  I love the Starfighter-esq one; screams Sci-Fi space fighter.  Canopies look like they're off Intruders, IE side by side seating.  Think these might spawn some larger scale whiffs  8)

The top one almost looks like a BAE Hawk 200 fuselage with the wings from an EE Lightning.

The bottom one looks a bit like a merge between a F-105 and F-5A.

It does! But I love the eliptical horizontal tailplanes  ;D
