Is that a snarky in the back?

People make their own rockets a lot, I think that the Apogee Snarky was part of the inspiration but this guy made it bigger and changed some of the features. Obviously, a spitfire (British ww2 airplane) was also factored in, mixed with some modern USAF planes. Actually, this guy might have flown spitfires or other planes, who knows? It looks absolutely insane.

With it saying "Navy" I would say he got a little inspiration for the twin tail from the F14 Tomcat or F18 with em angled and not straight. Shark mouth on the induction cowl just like a P40. Paint scheme from a Messerschmitt. I don't see a Spitfire?
Either way, very nice

Didn't Hanger 11 make something like that long, long ago?
Spot on. VFA-103 (nicknamed the Jolly Rogers) flying a F-14 Tomcat. Currently flying the F/A-18 Super Hornet.
And a P-40 Warhawk "Flying Tigers"
Wondering where the OP downloaded the picture from. Might have more info there.

I don't recall where I found it.
It's a mix of three airframes, the third and most obvious is the SNARK missile from the 50s/60s.....
The smaller one is a Dynastar (Apogee) Snarky, so I'm guessing he used that for inspiration to build a scratch upscale, with some of his own modifications.

Help me out here, exactly what feature on that rocket looks inspired from a Spitfire in any way, shape, or form?

Dang!!! I thought the Snarky was a sexy kit... That's one NICE build!!!!
While I don't see any Spitfire inspiration... I know that the Borg had a hand in its influences.
Resistance is Futile!!!

Yes, looking at pictures of a spitfire afterwards I was wrong. I was thinking of some other WW2 plane, probably a
Yeah, I am wrong, and looking back the only thing on it that really looks like a spitfire is the shark mouth, which many planes, including, as you said, the war-hawk, all shared.

sorry, mixed up my airplanes. Not sure what I was thinking. One thing on it is the shark mouth, which some spitfires had (As mentioned, P40s also had this paint job some times).
This is a spitfire with the shark mouth.

The shark mouth was a pretty common paint job, the plane I first think of when I see it is the spitfire which is why I said that's what the rocket looks like.
