I thought a little update would be in order.

The total number of kit's for this project now stands at Eight Airfix kits and One Italeri kit. Another addition to the project is a Finnish Reconnaissance pod which will go on the centre line pylon of one build.

I know it's in a book I have around here somewhere....

Just found this while googling, not sure if it's supposed to be a whiff or not....



Could make a good replacement for the long reigning Canberra perhaps?

I've also wanted to do a single seat hawk with the forward seat being the one that's kept, I'm waiting to work through the builds I've currently got on the go before starting anything new  ;)

That's based on the Hawk 200 series. It's a single seat Hawk fighter/attack.

It think the whif question rather concerns the wings and their span...? Certain it's not PR19_Kit's RC model?

Model looks like a Radio Control Slope Glider. One branch of that hobby is building scale(ish) models of powered aircraft. Often enlarging the wing is necessary to make it fly in the wind blowing up a steep hill.

Definitely a PSS model. (Power Scale Soarer).
This particular one was built by a gentleman called Mike Briggs.

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

I'd have built them MUCH longer than that.  ;D ;)
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! :)
