Here are some I be no one has ever seen.... Maker unknown and any insight would be great. Found at a local hobby shop in a box, long forgotten. Owner of the shop says they came from the collection of a Northrop Engineer, but these are most decidedly not from the Northrop model shop. Note the...

The Northrop N-251 was a supersonic VTOL interceptor concept with trapezoid wings, twin forward engines and vectored lift thrust at the CG, much like the Bell X-14 and DuPont DP-1/-2. Factory model is shown here.

Weapons Systems 118P called for high altitude reconnaissance aircraft proposals and was the forerunner of aircraft such as the B-70 Valkyrie and SR-71 Blackbird. Scott Lowther, a.k.a. Orionblamblam, had done a great deal of work to make the WS-118P proposals available on his blog and in his...

Hi, Looking for information on the LTV V-517 V/STOL fighter proposed for the Sea Control Ship.

Sorry, and I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post, but anyway … I just found something strange and sadly no-one even in the German FlugzeugForum can help me. Following the “bible” on Chinese Aviation so far (China Today: Aviation Industry) the first wind-tunnel was built in Shenyang...

Britain's Avro 730 supersonic bomber concept was the first kit produced by Fantastic Plastic. (It was released in October 2005). After being out of production for almost two years, I've brought it back as a new, improved model. Whereas the first kit was a simple "tabletop" model, Version 2.0...

The first model I did for Fantastic Plastic back in 2004 was the British Avro 730 bomber in 1/144 scale. Last year I was asked to re-visit the model. I completely rescribed it, added cockpit, landing gear and bomb bay details, and just generally improved the hell out of it. The first time...
