The Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak was a turbojet powered airplane and had unswept wings. It's object was to study transonic and supersonic flight capabilities. There were to be three stages to the Douglas D5581 Skystreak venture: a jet propelled aircraft, a combination jet & then rocket powered technology. Also known as the Crimson Test Tube.. There were three built, None broke the sound barrier..

Very nice model Bob, I like your photoshop treatments as well.

Are those two models, or is it one model that you can retract the landing gear?

[mbauer]

I think it's one model with the landing gear photoshopped out.

Bob,
Did you photoshop the logo on FG model? What scale?

[bob martin]

Vermin King, It's just one model. I use a GIMP (Image Manipulation Program) which enables you to paint out the landing gear, add grapihic like cemtrails, spinning props and many other things, and then put in a realistic background picture. Great Fun!!

Very nice build (as usual).

I would build it myself, but I just made up Oddballs version of the same plane!
