Space Scout Orbital Interceptor Concept 1958 Model Kit G. Harry Stein:

In the late 1950s, rocket engineer G. Harry Stine and prolific Mechanix Illustrated artist Frank Tinsley teamed up to create the "Space Scout," a rocket-powered orbital interceptor that could blast enemy satellites and space stations out of the sky with wing-tip atomic missiles.

The design called for the three-man Space Scout -- also known as the Space Reconnaissance Vehicle -- to be hoisted aloft by a multi-stage liquid-fueled booster. After its mission was complete, the craft would re-enter the atmosphere ass-down and perform a vertical landing with the help of three in-wing jet engines. The landing legs were to be permanently embedded in the engine exhaust area.

Completely unfeasible, the Space Scout design nonetheless achieved significant popularity through illustrations in Tinsley's 1950 book "Answers to the Space Flight Challenge" and his lavishly illustrated "U.S. Space Hardware" poster of the same period.
