Douglas X-3

[Stymye]

has anyone attempted this ?
this would be by far the most complicated thing I've ever tried
I know that the angle of thrust would have to change
I imagine someone ,somewhere has given it a go..
Any help/ideas is most welcome(ahem..Jim)

Very cool. Looks like it might have inspired one or more of Shrox's kits. Even odds that Micromister, sandman, or jflis have built or at least seen one.

Well, it wasn't me it was Jim. i hope he doesn't mind me reposting his pics.

Check out the plastic model conversion on the table next to the X-15.

This would make a great scratch subject, using conventional materials (to keep the weight down)!
