nrshida's is the Miles M.30 X-Minor. It was an early attempt at a blended wing design.

Mar's is an early production MiG-21 variant. It may be an early Soviet A or perhaps a Vietnamese F-13. The recessed green cone and bubble canopy suggests its the later.

How about this one?

Psst... hey Widewing... when you post a picture you have to make sure when you right click then click save picture as it doesn't give it away.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Yeah, Lusche busted me once that way. So the next rare Sturmgeschütz picture I put up was renamed "happyfluffybunny.jpg". Damn sneaky Germans. :lol
