You mean over 20 years old construction?

Not so old, but not long after the fall of the wall either.

Make that 19 y.o.

Lots of questions and a new page so I will follow LM's advice and repost.
This version has been kindly enhanced by he himself (and looks a whole lot better!).

Just having my my lunch mate, having been pipped at the post on the Saab at coffee time. I'd seen that one before 'coz I was going to do it until I checked Mel's list!! NB. skytrains post on page 143 is slightly different on the bottom of the rear fuselage.

HappyPass, is it the Molniya-1 ??

Just lucky with the year clue, I may have found it without, but I was looking for a three lifting surface aircraft, not a pusher canard

Didn't. Asked the guy who originally added the speed-lines for artistic impression .

Blimey! All day been looking for a Yak-58 with canards. And they call it Molniya-1 after the Russki Moon Raker....

Thanks HappyPass, another good one!!

My sleeve is empty, however, I'm not even going to try doing this with Paint, so you'll all have to put up with this as it comes. There was something similar recently, but I didn't find this looking for that one. Don't think it'll last long tho 'coz once you've seen it
