Not sure if this is the correct place for this post, but can anyone direct me to a good 3-View of a CF-100 Mk.3 please

Joe, is there any information like what type of engines would have powered this project ? 24 cylinder 'H' configuration Rolls Royce Eagle perhaps ? or Sabre VIII ?

What's the story behind the 'tent city'

These photos appear in the Green/Swanborough book 'The Complete Book of Fighters', published in 1994, pages 527/528 along with a couple of other photos of them and 3-Views of both. They also appear in a card set I was collecting during the 80's. There's even 1/72 vacuform kits of them done by a...

I'll have to dig out my two RR Heritage Trust books, "Rolls Royce and the Mustang" and "Rolls Royce Crecy", and have a look again because I can't remember. But P.1 I think was one of the Crecy concept V-Twins (there were six V-12 Crecys built and tested, but IIRC, twelve of the V-Twins). Then...

Yes, but in hind-sight, I think the exhaust stubs should exit further back to where I have it

While building the Unicraft FTB conversion (in 1/72), I found certain things didn't jive with what info was available. So as I'm an Air-Britain member, I was able to ask the Rolls Royce specialist who just happens to be David Birch (he's also the official Rolls Royce Historian) about some...

There was this one by McDonnell, but it's not in the 707 class

If anyone wants a really, really big model of the Concorde --- (scroll down to the second to fifth pictures) http://www.westway-aircraft-models.com/6.html

I was reading an article in an Air-Britain quarterly (Militaria) about another Navy prototype of the same time period, and it was painted an overall grey too, IIRC, it mentioned the colour you have suggested

So --- not one of these then ----...

It's my view that the H-4 was grossly underpowered, even with eight of the most powerful engines the USA had at the time. Even if it had eight of these R-7755's is would still be marginal for power. This was at a time when big aircraft were beginning to move along at 300-350 mph so something...

I would have thought this photo of the model which was displayed in the Lockheed front foyer for years would have appeared here by now

It's a policy of the Federal parties to dump whatever the other party that is in power favorite project for one of their own when they get back in power, but also we're talking about another Trudeau ---- (a pot head one to boot [come to think about it, I think his dad was one too])

Considering that it was the Federal Liberals that originally signed Canada up for the F-35, I find this a bit like back-pedaling. Incidentally, they also signed Canada up for the CH-148 Cyclone, something else which hasn't appeared on the radar screen yet ----

I had always wondered about the large canopy the XP-51F,G & J got, until I saw some photos of them a while ago that explained a lot. It would seem they raised the cockpit up about 6 or 8 inches so needed a bigger canopy over it as the fuselage used was basically the P-51D fuselage (except the...

My wife's brother drove Chieftains back in the 80's before transferring to Challengers, he told me one time that when they used to do live firing practice (on a training ground in Germany), they used to have to stop while the A-10's came in and did their stuff. So for practice against Su-25's...

I'd have thought the airframe would limit just how fast the A-10 could go, no matter how more powerful you make the engines.

Thanks, I've seen the top pic before (I think you posted it on the What-If Forum) but this is the first time I've seen the bottom one Paul. One thing that wasn't avoidable, was the bulkiness of the fuselage, big engine needs big space --- I'll get my two Hawker projects built so I can compare...

I sort of went this way, figured an F-15 wing scaled down would be an easy way to go and use a low bypass turbofan modified so it could be used for the lift ducts. The model has parts from five different kits, F-15 (1/72 & 1/100), F-18, Tornado and Harrier. The idea is that MacDonnell Douglas...
