The idea behond the SUPER CUTLASS is fictional.
During the Vietnam war the F-4 Phantom and the F-8 Crusader both struggled against the migs and a reinforcement was needed badly.
At LTV company the engineer's decided to
build a new redsigned Cutlass since most of the tooling for the build were still around.
The task was a complete redesign of the huge canopy for a pilot and systems operator.
Two J79 powerful engines trippled the power over the previus J46 and the aft section was
alongated. A vulcan 20 mm was installed under the front and the long front wheel strout was cut by half. Provision for 4 sidewinders was made.
The result was a terrific fighter with trhust to wieght ratio of better than 1.
The Super Cutlass was hurried to the war theater with a deployment of sqadron
Sun Downers 111 and upon arrival had immediate success against the migs.
The pilots had now the fighter they dreamed about and a new mig killer!!!
The model is half resin and half paper and was built some 15 years ago with an
insperation of a post in a modelers magazine on an history that you cannot be written.
