Default RE: Bud-jet?

I still have the plans and canopy for this one - I don't think it's a bad looking plane at all - something like a cross between an F22, F15 and something Russian.

Cosmetic changes are easy without affecting the flight characteristics.

Canting the tail fins outward would be my first job along with rounding off the rear end of the fuselage getting rid of that boxy look. I am still looking at other changes like bringing the tail plane up into the same line as the main wing if possible and finally, minor changes to the shape of the nose end of the fuselage and you can have something that, with a decent paint job, looks bang up to date.

The whole idea of these plans were to provide a cheap model to get into D/F Jets - nothing there to say it can't be modified into something better - that's what this hobby is all about

I know this is an old thread but surely someone out there has pics of this plane other than the 3 pics I can find on a google search !!
