Someone did for sure, but I can't remember quite who, darn it. :(
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! :)

Really like that colour scheme, I need to find a canopy for mine!

Must be contagious, i've got one missing the rear part of the canopy.  I was thinking of using that as motivation to build a two seater using something from the "glass" parts box.

It's a pandemic!!!!  :banghead:

The two seat Jaguar canopy might work, but you'd need to file that step under the rear seat part I think. Old FROG/Novo/Plastyk Jag kits are quite cheap on eBay, and you get both single AND two seat noses in the same kit.  :thumbsup:

Lovely scheme.  :thumbsup: The colours on the horizontal stabilizers are a nice touch.

I managed to snap the windscreen on an Academy F-8. Twice!  :o

Crusader? More like Cursader!!!!

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'm not sure if it's just reminding me of a French machine, but it just looks so right in that Argentine scheme. Great looking build  :thumbsup:

The scheme is virtually identical to the early French Super Étendards, the same livery was also carried by the Argentinian machines.
