New Scale Model Build ?

[JumpJet]

I started working on a new personal scale rocket project. I might not make it fly but instead make it really scale with lots of details like panel lines, rivets and other such stuff. I am still developing the cross sections of the model and I bet I've got another 20 hours of cad time to go before I can start cutting wood. Any body have a guess what model I am working on. It shouldn't be to hard to figure out. I can always use more scale data so if you have something to share please post it here.

Is it the new shuttle from the new Estes Shuttle Kit?

Is it the new shuttle from the new Estes Shuttle Kit?

Nope... It's one of the lifting bodies that NASA designed prior to the Space Shuttle program. Something like the M2-F3 (with center fin added).

Although the above lifting body was seen crashing in the opening scene of the 6 Million Dollar man TV show it's not what my drawings are of.

I remembered this thread from Andy Kuntz a while back on rcgroups:

Has some nice construction and build photos, unfortunately the glide portion didn't work so well and they lost it in a cornfield.

Looks like you've done your home work so you probably have these pics--

 

[JumpJet]

Yes, I have all those images but thanks for posting them anyway.

This is the best place I've found so far for all kind of lifting body images. Be sure to click on all the pages since they all contain good stuff.

While looking for better images of the rear of the HL-10 I found this web site. It has a few images I've not seen before. This site also contains LOTS of great images of other airplane and rocket subjects. Just scroll down and click on a date to view the images.
