This is all Peters ( Stilip’s ) fault.
But with me doing well with the Boulton Paul Defiant, I thought I’d start this as well.

Ian,
I'm looking forward to watching this come together. It's a weird looking bird.

Made a start on on this one, got the cockpit built and painted. There’s no colour callout so a bit of poetic licence was used.

I hope you all can see it, it’s very tiny.

Interesting. Do tell, is it real, did it ever fly ?

I’ve been looking, and all I can find out was it only got to the planning stage.

 

[BattleshipBob]

Interesting Ian!

Wikipedia says it was a design drawn up in 1945, but militaryfactory.com says it was a design study in 1943, but either was it doesn't seem to have been built, let alone flown.

Thunderbirds are go! Just need to add some strings and you're in the tv show.

Never hard of this manufacturer but have seen their kits on evilbay quit a few times. Will be interesting to see your conclusion of the kit.

Moved on a little with this one, got the cockpit, intake and exhaust fitted also the undercarriage and both halves put together.

Looking forward to more of this Ian :smiling3:.

 

[stillp]

I was going to ask what the fit was like, but I think I see some Green Stuff on the wing seams?

[papa 695]

Got the IP painted and fitted.
