Donor kit, Airfix MRCA Panavia 200
This old kit donated various parts to other builds, First the swing wing assy. for a Phantom proposal. second ejection seat for COIN F7F whatifer, third seat/cockpit and exhaust for a Lindberg Mig21. and last the nose for the Matchbox T55.I also used it for decal and paint try out. it was so useful that I decided to build up what was left of it.

A noble sacrifice indeed.

“ waste not, want not”.
That’s a crazy looking F-4.

Man, that Airfix kit has taken its fair share of shots for the team.
Need to agree with Jay above, that F-4 looks very interesting - kinda like 'F-4 meets MiG 23'

Mcdonell Douglas came up with the design in case the F-14 fell through. It only got far as some drawings being made.

A phantom swing wing, what an amazing idea, Robert @roofrat

You are a hard-core modeler! Any styrene that can be glued together SHOULD be glued together!

Ha! All kits want to be built collectable or not.@gkittinger
