As far as I know, what I posted was a jet fighter study - that's how it was labelled int eh archives.Stargazer2006 said:Okay, so now I'm home and I can access my files. Lockheed worked on two distinct canard combat projects: the first one was the L-133, a stainless steel twin-engine jet fighter, and the L-137, a high-altitude bomber project competing for Type Specification XC-124 against the B-27 and B-28 (not to be mistaken with the L-129, competing for the same spec but with a conventional configuration). The L-137 was also called the Model 30 and is portrayed in the various attached pictures. I believe the artwork you found is another take on that selfsame project.
