I conceived this aircraft originally as an Aliens/ Halo - style dropship way back in 8th grade. It evolved over the years into a heavy ground/anti-shipping attack aircraft, which using as the subject for my design project for my Intro to CAD class. I conceived it as a stealthy replacement for the A-10 and A-6 intruder. Like the Lockheed F-35, it has three different versions, CTOL for the AF, Carrier take of and landing for the Navy, and V/STOL for the Marines. I actually built this model around two years ago but just now got around to finishing it. It's a 100% cardstock scratchbuild and the decals are from the Italeri A-6 (p*****c)kit, which I'm whiffing into an alternate Shuttle Trainer Aircraft.

Not too bad! I'm guessing all the stores are held internally??

That's pretty awesome! With a little touch up, that could be a kit I could see being sold to lots of happy modelers.

Hey Dyna-Soar,

If you have 3D files of the model I'd love to use it in a video game I'm developing. In the process I'd turn it into a paper model kit for you.
