Well it's not a Ghost but it is a Goblin. Won't be finished by Halloween but soon. It's MPM's XF-85 Goblin 1/72 scale. :-)

I have to ask Chuck, is that a genuine kit or are you simply using parts from the spares box? :-)
I'm not familiar with the XF-85 but judging from the size of the airframe to the cockpit it must have been an early jet experiment. Hope you post pics of the finished kit.

:-) No Martin that's a Real kit, and a Real aircraft, it's one of the early parasite fighters, from FICON :-)
If you don't think that's scary look up some of the other pictures on the net featuring this aircraft
