You can see some icons for failed projects in WinMBT already.

Icon Nos:
583. CF-105 AVRO Arrow (Canadian)
775. RAH66 Comanche Green
776. RAH66 Comanche Black/Green camo
777. RAH66 Comanche Tan/Green camo
1197. F-16XL Scamp (failed competitor to F-15E)
2756: Sukhoi Su-43 (Forward Swept Wing Prototype)

Now for one of my own.

Landing Vehicle, Assault

Was to be based on the LVTP7 hull with a LCAC-style air cushion, contract was issued in 1975, with intention of IOC between 1980-85.

Was to hit 56 to 112 KMH in the water, 64 to 88 KMH on land.

LVTP7 proposal with Bradley Turret. My icon is a kitbash using the SPCAMO LVTP7 and Bradley icons as base art.

LVTHX5 concept; but no prototype was ever built.

Icon created by kitbashing SPCAMO's LVTP7 hull and their M-60 turret.

It would be interesting to see an OOB for the US Army with all sorts of canceled projects represented.

This one is NOT NOT NOT NOT by me.

I Repeat, it is NOT by me.

This is Sgt. Gunn's AH-56 Cheyenne Icon, put here so that it's easier to find.

Was to be our next generation helo, but was more adapted to high altitude, high speed diving attacks, and could not hover very well.

The ugliest helicopter I�ve ever seen. Thank god it was cancelled. Maybe it wouldn�t have suited the russian view of beauty and grace either, good for them they had the shilka for such ugly flying critters.
