Bristol Bladesman

A what-if design from Bristol Aircraft UK, based on a deltapod flying wing body with peripheral placed engines. I morphed this design from the Bristol 188 research plane of the 1960's and kept the Gyron powerplants at the outer placement and changed to a wing-body. Used parts from a 1/72 F-102 and a Tomcat cockpit for this 1/144th scale model. Painted and marked as an evaluation machine for the RAE Boscombe Down facility.
