I remember building it back when I was a kid in the 70’s. It was based a real military fighter, but distorted in a way that we would now call super-deformed: fuselage made shorter and cuter, wings made stubby, engines and cockpit bigger than they should be in reality. As I recall it was part of a whole series of similarly distorted military plane models. It was similar in spirit to the “Big Daddy” Roth car models you could get at the time, but I don’t think it was part of the same line.
Can anyone provide me with a name for this model series, or, even better, a pointer to a website that has a picture of one of these models?
Sorry, dude. I did WW2 era warships back in the 70’s.
I remember it, it was named something like “War Hog” (though that isn’t the right name.) The fuselage was fattened and arched under, like a dolphin jumping out of the water (if dolphins were fat like angelfish.)
Come to think of it, I had one. It was motorized; the prop turned, the wings flapped and the machine guns in front of the cockpit went in and out.
Yeah, cornflakes, that sounds right. Unfortunately, googling “war hog model” just returns a lot of links to people who don’t know how to spell “warthog” … .
At least I know I was hallucinating from sniffing too much Testors … .
I had that one, too! It was called the “Flap Jack” – the stencils on the side read “US Air Farce”.
The funny thing was, it looked a LOT like the real life XF-85 “Goblin” jet fighter!
I think if a pilot went up against either in a dogfight, he’d get shot down just because of the WTF factor. 
EZ
Here it is!
…And for what it’s worth, Here it isn’t, but it came up in a search and looked pretty cool.
Yay, thanks guys!
I realized that I’d been conflating the Flap Jack with these models:
