Micromilitary Challenge-Inspired Convair YF-102

50.3k Stingray  8.6 years ago
Auto Credit Based on LT556's MicroMilitary challenge

The supersonic YF-102 was unarmed, built for the USAF. This model is not my best, but certainly one of my smallest, only 8 feet longer than the Micromilitary challenge criteria. The model flys well, and exceeds 925 mph at 14,000 feet. ALL STOCK PARTS. A present for @Sirstupid
