Oh, my! I think I'm smitten with this one.  Off to see what kits would be needed to make this a reality in 1/48 plastic.

The wing shape is almost Hawkerish.

Cockpit and canopy could come from an F-15.  Back end would take a mix of F-111 and F-15 bits with F-15 engines.

The cockpit's more like a Starfighter.

The whole thing looks rather like an Su-27 with it's engine pods moved together.

I'd say there's some F-8 Crusader DNA mixed in there, too.

You could probably get a number of useful pieces from the Revell 1/72 SU-27; those wings look very similar to the original Sukhoi T-10 wings.

I thought Flanker as well, especially in that first shot. Very cool!

How about a eurofighter fuselage with an F-8 Crusaders wings and stabs (given a Hawkerish curve at the tips?
