Like the title says.... do we know if there's an (Injection Moulded) kit of this sexy little trainer out there ??? Never really taken much notice of it before, but it most definitely growing on me.

Yup, A-Model did. (CLICKY!) But it's the pre-production/demo aircraft, which differs considerably from the production variant.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I have built one Ian, it will need a lot of work but will turn out to be a nice plane when done,there is a good weapons load out with it too.
Model hobbies usually have them in stock.

Yes, shame it isn't the production machine - the stabs are very different (dog-tooth leading edge) and of course it is now toting wingtip AAM rails. Maybe I'll wait.

Thanks all.

... and the LERXs, the intakes, the nose cone and the undercarriage. Very different aircraft, really.

On the other hand, as it's a whif, what's to stop you from building your own take of a production aircraft?  ;D

...and adding the LERXs, changing the intakes, the nose coe, landing gear, dog-tooth leading edge and wing tip AAM rails. Damn it, this is meant to be a CHALLENGE, not something you do in your spare time!

Oh, it is? I must have got it all wrong then..... -_-
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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
