The McDonnell XF-85 Goblin was an American prototype fighter aircraft conceived during World War II by McDonnell Aircraft. It was intended to be deployed from the bomb bay of the giant Convair B-36 bomber as a parasite fighter. I am working on the B-36/XF85 combo and will post once complete. used VTOL down to lower wings, 1 to detach trolley.

Ok @RamboJutter
I have seen the real thing!
@CRJ900Pilot thanks for the suggestion, I have one 60% complete but I built it before I figured the program out so needs some rebuilding work.
