Need suggestions for a new scratchbuild

[cokefiend]

Basically, Ive given up trying to find a Tanmen f-203 Dragon kit so Im going to scratch build one.

Im wondering though if there is a real plane out there that would serve as a good starting point.

Say for wings or fuselage?

Any ideas?

When I see the Dragon II I think part F-15.

The F-15 is a pretty solid starting point, mainly because it was the fighter Kawamori based the design on! The nose is pretty much bang-on, you will just need to smooth over and rescribe. Cockpit's good, and not too much work on the intakes. Behind them it's going to get interesting. I was thinking of doing this myself, actually, but have too many kits in the pile first. I can't wait to see what you do with this project, Cokefiend!
