As I haven't been posting much on the board, here are a few Whiffs I have completed recently:



TSR-2 (Airfix kit with some extras from the spares box) finished as an RAF BAC Eagle GR.1 of 16 Squadron 1975




HS1175 (Novo Harrier kit modified) finished as an RAF Harrier GR.5




Hawker P.1121 (Project X vacform ) finished as a Hawker Herne FG.1 of 29 Squadron RAF in 1975




HS 1184-1 (Hasegawa harrier GR.3 modified) finished as a Harrier of 4 Squadron RAF




HS1206-6 (Hasegawa F-2 plus Zvezda Su27 + milliput + White Stuff) finishes as  Typhoon of 111 Sqn, RAF




Hunter T.12 (TSR-2 trainer) (Matchbox Hunter T7 modified) finished as a Hunter T.12 of 237 OCU as shown in the recent TSR-2 book




Hawker P.1154 (Project X vac-form) finished as a Harrier GR.1 of 1 Squadron RAF in 1975




Hawker P.1101 tandem trainer (Frog Hunter FGA.9 modified) finished as a Hunter T.y of 45 Squadron, RAF in 1975




Scimitar F.2 (Contrail vacform with lots of putty!) finished as a Supermarine Scimitar F.2 of 800 Squadron embarked on HMS Ark Royal in 1967. This varied from the standard Scimitar in having 2 rocket motors to accelerate it to supersonic speed, the fuel for these being contained in the big spine.

I hope these are of interest.

Very nice whiffs especially the P.1154, a mix between Jaguar and Harrier :thumbsup:

You've got some serious kit surgery skills, Nigel! All of these are excellent, but I think I like your two seater Hunter best.

The Scimitar is a Supermarine design for an upgraded Scimitar F.1.

Here's the plans i worked from:

Hmm, two-seat version with all-weather radar, and you'd be even closer to the Phantom. It's a good look. :thumbsup: The others are nice too, especially the P.1121. Have to get hold of one of those if I can find one...
