The Mikoyan Ye-10 was a forgotten prototype developed in parallel with the Ye-8 to test the dorsal air intake configuration.

The real-life Mikoyan-Gurevich Ye-8 and my fictional Ye-10 above are both the Russian counterparts of North American's real F-107 (NA-212) and the unbuilt NA-211 which had the intakes in the exact same ventral position as the Ye-8.

The Ye-10 was made by taking the Ye-8 prototype (which has the intakes in ventral position) and modifying it to dorsal intake configuration. As I could not reuse the Ye-8's intakes, I used the North American F-107's own, which were very similarly shaped.

The real Ye-8 and my fictional Ye-10 are both the Russian counterparts of North American's real F-107 (NA-212) and the unbuilt NA-211 which had the intakes in the exact same ventral position as the Ye-8.

• love the ye.10 (TsrJoe)
• great Eastern copy of the F-107, facing each other in the skies would make a great film, both for Hollywood and Moscow. (Tophe)
• The Ye-10 reminds a bit of the f-107 design. (RussC)
• Great job, I realy like this (also Ye-8 is my favorite Mig))) Also about russian text - correct form is - "Прототип МиГ Е-10 накануне своего первого полета" (Russian is my native language) (TheXHS)
