Repost Cutaway Convair XFY-1 Pogo, the NAVY concept fighter VTOL

Guns and a radar! All this time I wondered what the armament would be! I went with unguided rockets from a Northrop F-89:

Pretty neat!

Was working again today on a couple long stalled sci-fi kitbashes both of which use parts from a Lindberg 1/48 Pogo kit & thought, well, hey, why not get another one and build it as it.
Had just ordered one and played in Google looking for images of the real deal and people's build of the kit.
You may have already deduced this was one of the results.

Always liked the F-89D with those rocket pods.
