Cool Wings

This plane has really small stubby wings ( sort of like the F-104 Starfighter ). The reason is that it only needs wings for high speed sine take off and landings are done using the lift jets and down vectoring main engine nozzles ). Also, since this was a primarily ship borne plane, short wings eliminates the folding common to many carrier planes.


My only addition to the structure was to add a wood spar that was positioned and using CA glue to hold the structure in place. The wings will be slipped on later
