Watching this, looks like a cool scratchbuild idea.

I wish another model manufacturer would make a 1/48 scale XF-103. The Collect Aire kit was nice but (at the time) WAY out of price range of my wallet. I guess I'll have to buy a resin printer and try to make my own.

Woooooaaa ! That looks fast an cool ! Reminds of the Tigershark, that appeared in one of the „Blake and Mortimer" Comic albums by Edgar P. Jacobs.

Hanno, from what I read about it the XF-103 was supposed to have a Mach 3+ performance making it the fastest interceptor ever built. Unfortunately titanium fabrication problems as well as engine development issues caused the Air Force to lose interest and in August 1957 the plug was pulled on it.

Hanno Kleinecke
Yes, they had some serious problems in engine development back then.......
Like the J 46 engine for the Douglas Stiletto that never materialized, preventing the plane to gain its full potential. Checkin' in on this one

Following! At some long lost forum a greek modeler built one from wood and plasticard in 1/72. I think I have a photo of it somewhere.
