Saunders Roe SR-53

Just  got this finished, some of the decals I wanted to use on it desintigrated even though I  put microscale liquid decal film on them, but never mind.  The aircraft  is an in service  interceptor, based in Germany  circa 1964.

Nice work :thumbsup:I currently have one in the workbench queue

Very smart Chris, looks the part. 

I really need to think what to do with my SR53 kit, it's been looking at me for MONTHS.

Of course doing a longer winged SR53 would be an obvious choice for me, but who in their right mind would specify a PR aircraft with a rocket motor?

Oh, I did. [Blush]

The PR19B had a socking great rocket in the belly...............

Thankyou Kit and LO, the build was easy enough  which is  always  a good thing for  me these days.  This is the Samolotu  kit, I have the AZ version too in the stash that will get camouflaged.

Very nice ! Love the colours on her.



Longer wings sound good as well Kit. Might have to deploy after the rockets fire

Hmm, FOLDING longer wings?

There was a high performance sailplane that did that, sometime in the 60s IIRC, so it's not impossible. 

[TheChronicOne]

Very nice.... love the blue. 

[The Rat]

That colour combination is great! 

[DogfighterZen]

I agree with what was said before, great stuff, the scheme looks very good!

[NARSES2]

That's come out well Chris.

The AZ version is a nice little kit

Nice job Chris.  Love the colour scheme.
