I Think The Vf-1's Design Was Suspicously

[Phalanx]

Well now that I read your post Honneamise, I just had to clarify that I saw this strange resembleance of the VF-1's nose to the F-18 just from looking at that pic of the VF-1 Blue Angel pic Redsun1 posted ONLY. Not from looking at the toys or models or screenshots from the anime series.

Wasn't the nose taken from an F-111 (sez da airplane n00b)

Actually it was noted that Kawamori acknowledged that the F-111 was an influence on the VF-1. It was an interview from a coupld years back I believe.
