We've got some but it will take a few days I think to find where the pics were archived.These below though I took when I was coming up with an idea on how to make a much better fixture. The bolt hole I'm measuring is one of four where the wing gets bolted to four corresponding lugs sticking out the bottom of the fuselage.Incidently, how the aircraft comes apart is almost how Airfix has the way the kit gets assembled, I found that very interesting.

Interesting!! Both the P-51 and the Learjet are set up that same way.
Persian Independence Air Force markings?
A couple of T-38 proposals (courtesy of http://ghostmodeler.blogspot.de/2012/09/talons-in-space-northrops-n-205-proposal.html):Supersonic VIP transport:T-38 VTOL variant:1/32 T-38 would make into cool 1/72 transport !But there aint one far as I know.

Rather than the N-156NN, it likely would've been a later design development, the N-251B which had a raised cockpit compared to the N-156 and increased wing area.
Unfortunately, I didn't borrow and copy that brochure when I had the chance (co-worker on a classified program there had it and getting things in and out was a pain at times).Regarding a 1/48 T-38, didn't Fujimi do one?
Am I the only one who thinks that naval concept looks a bit like the outcome if an F-5 knocked up an Su-25 Frogfoot?
X-29 with F-20A cockpit and nose with vectoring LO nozzle on a F414. Four or six underwing stores points with pylons shaped to avoid the moving portions of the wing.
The X-29 has a flex wing wherein the forward and aft sections of the wing flex as flaps etc. to improve performance; the intention would be for the pylons to not interfere with that. The pylons would attach to the fixed iddle portionof the wing and be shaped to miss the maximum deflections of the flexing parts.
Basically, I'm thinking of a GE equivalent of the combined AVEN and LOAN programs (both of which used P&W engines). I'm certain GE has similar efforts and I'd wager that the F136 used at least the LOAN aspect. you'd mainly end up with s trimmed rear edge of the nozzle much like what is on the F-35's nozzle and the nozzle would be a "glossy metallic black" in color, showing the "special coatings" applied.
