This is the Lindberg XF-91 Thundercepter. It’s a typical old kit with almost no detail so I added some to the landing gear, intake, exhaust and put the Monogram F-84F cockpit in.
Love those butterfly wing tips.
Nice. I remember building that as a kid
Cool!
Very nice ! What scale?

Thats a nice build. never herad of the XF-91 before. Was this a competitor aircrfat that didn’t enter service.
An interesting aircraft. Also notable for being rocket assisted.
Wikipedia lists the XF-91 as being the first US “fighter” to break the sound barrier in level flight, December, 1951. It also says that with both rocket and jet power on the aircraft could reach a speed of mach 1.71. Very impressive for that time.

Nice job finishing the kit!
I can easily envision ikar01 using a 4 inch hand held angle grinder to remove all the boiler plate rivets…[whstl][:O][^o)]
