OMG!!!! That is AWESOME...he must have $25,000.00 tied up in that, beautiful.
Hard to believe the original was designed and built in the '50's. Still one of the most awesome aircraft ever built.

That's just badass:rock: Thanks for posting
That looks like one that was built by a Lockheed model maker and hung in a hobby shop here in Lancaster for a number of years. At the time, there were no ducted fan engines available to power it and he never had flown it.
I know he sold it to someone back east, that was back in the late 80's, sure looks like it. Awesome model to say the least.

You're correct. It was amazing what they did with paper, pencils and sliderules. What is also amazing is how quickly they could take an idea and then have it in the air.
I'm going to throw out a personal opinion here that I hope does not offend anyone, so here goes.
I honestly believe our engineers have lost the edge. They depend to much on computers and not enough on their minds. Yes, I'm an old geezer, but when I first started at Boeing 30 years ago, we had to think things through and visualize what we were doing in our minds. Now days we have some great computer jockeys, but they cannot design worth a shit. Their designs are filled with errors and in some cases they do not even match the engineering.
Okay, rant over.
Great link Billy.:rock:
