Century Fighters (2)
I built these models last year for an article in Brickjournal and have previously posted photographs of them separately. Both were single-engined and seriously big. Both also show some of the advances that were necessary for high-speed flight. The leading edges of the wings are swept back on both, they both have sharply pointed noses and have a fuselage that is slightly narrower over the wing than forward and aft of the wing. All of this was done to reduce supersonic drag.
