Always liked this design – I built and painted up a Testors 1/72 USMC version for display at the Aviation School I was stationed at for a while. |

It is a really cool looking jet. |

I had some very small plastic airplanes when I was a boy, and included in the were this plane and the Cutlass, another 1950s fighter. |

I had some very small plastic airplanes when I was a boy, and included in the were this plane and the Cutlass, another 1950s fighter. If they're the same ones I'm thinking of, I think I see it near the back:
One summer long ago, while visiting an aunt and uncle, two of my older cousins let me take home a bunch of their old toys they didn't play with anymore.
Among them were a lot of those little airplanes! It was like a second Christmas that year! :) |

Ha, I remember those. A friend had a collection of those, and gave me one or two. Can't recall which ones, but I think they were jets. Pretty sure one was a Komet. A pity they went missing, no doubt do to some overly aggressive parental house cleaning, or during a move. |

Hmmmm, need to dig mine out, and pit them against some Cuban pilots, just for grins. Been far too long since having a nice, post-WWII air battle. Need to change that. |

The 50's and 60's were classic decades for jet fighter design. Lightning, Hunter, Buccaneer, Sea Vixen, Javelin, Century series, F-4, F-5, F-8, Mirage, Su-7, Su-15 and Mig-21. |
