Was looking around for interesting rocket aircraft to do in profile Depron that Frank has not done yet...
I had recently read the book, "Ed Heinemann, Combat Aircraft Designer."
Part of the book involved the design and engineering of all three (including the jet powered Skystreak) experimental D-558 aircraft. Decided to do profile versions of the Douglas D-558-II Skyrocket and the never built Douglas D-558-III Skyflash.
A couple of other models were on the bench ahead of these, but I decided to press ahead with this pair for now .
The following three views were tile printed to give overall lengths of around 38-39". All major parts are now cut out and some of the Skyflash parts have been bonded together.
