Hunting for an image..

[SailCat]

I thought I saw a pic somewhere of a YF-23 Blackwidow in Macross YF-21 colors.  However my Google-fu has failed, and I don't seem to have saved a copy.

Any one ever see it?

Never even heard of it

You sure it wasn't fan art?

Sorry I should have specified, it was definitely fan art, not a legit image.

That's SUPPOSEDLY a YF-33..

"Clearly inspired by the mechas in the Macross series. I think it resembles a mix of F-15 Eagle and YF-23 from Macross Plus."

Quite bland and they got the YF-23 (its a YF-21..) part wrong about M+..and still the elusive YF-23 still lurks somewhere out there..

Fantastic!  Better than the one I remember!

The reason this popped up in my mind is I saw in the news that Japan is looking at an updated YF 23 for their new Fighter.  I thought Northrop should take one of their existing air-frames and deck it out Macross style.  Might help them make the sale.

That's a nice custom.
