Another old model gets photographed.

This time, a Matchbox Tempest F.II in the markings of 7?? Sqandron FAA based at Lossimouth.  Why would a Navy training squadron get Tempests?  Familiarisation before they get the Sea Fury.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Good idea, and looks so real as well.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Or alternatively the Fury/Sea Fury was never built so the FAAonce again had to make do with a navalised land-based fighter?

Just like they did earlier this week, at least until yesterday anyway............
