USAF stated that SR71 sightings by commercial pilots were "unidentified". Model goes 3,000 mph @ 100,000 (this is a modded SP thing, not a replica). Still, fun to fly!

This one flys gently, but is not a replica. I've built a replica, and it's a beast to handle, just a heads up. @nickasaurusrex

That's not a whole lot bigger, but it looks like a good scale. Hopefully yours looks better, though!

Pretty much everything, but it's unfinished (larger model) WIP. @LordofLego

@Stingray What are you going to change?

OK, but I'm going to rebuild this entire plane from scratch anyway, and it will not look like this one. @LordofLego

You could have put in the engines but not the nozzles. Then you could have your ballast and if you used modded large engines, you could have kept the speed and the diamond exhaust.

Thanks @LordofLego You're partly right, but this very simple& sturdy artistic rendering (not a true replica) needed ballast where I put the VTOL.

Cool, but you should have left off the VTOL and used modded large engines.
