Hello
Just added this model to my collection. I tried to research the design and haven’t come up with an answer. It’s 25” long made out of heavy resin and brass wings. Swing wing, 4-engines, supersonic design traits. Found in Texas. As far as age I’m thinking 60’s, 70’s, or early 80’s

Reminds me of some of the Myasischev M-20 designs, although I think they had longer engine pods.
 
Looks like the Boeing entry for the B-1 competition. See https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/amsa-program-b-1-bomber-projects.484/

I agree with the possible General Dynamics connection. The short boom supporting the vertical stabilizer really reminds me of the
proposed FB-111H.

NASA SCAT 14 concept.

The model is quite "generic" in shape, reminds me more of these kind of aerodynamic research models.

NASA SCAT concepts were often taken as the basis and refined further by companies.
