The Northrop F-89 Scorpion has to be the most metal interceptor ever made! Just look at it, it uses the wingtip fuel tanks for carrying weapons, from rockets to retractable launchers for air-to-air missiles.

Plus it’s anachronism incarnate, a highly advanced combat jet that somehow decided to play it safe and keep the straight wing from the propeller-era combat aircraft of a few years prior.
