Here's one of the  builds I have  finished recently, short description as I am not feeling too great today. This aircraft  is an in service  aircraft  circa 1966, and wearing an  experimental colour scheme. The kit is the Italeri one in 1/72nd scale, decals are  sea vixen  ones.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thankyou Fred, its the side effects of the  medication I  have been pumped  full of, I have  good ish days and crap ones. Hopefully soon it will wear off. I  did  it overall grey as I  really  didn't want to go through the rigmarole  I  did with the harrier  painting the underside  white.

Suits that simple colour scheme Chris  :thumbsup:

Hope you feel better soon.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Is that an F-100F two-seater Chris? It looks great in that scheme.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

Regards
Kit

Yes Kit, I  saw it for sale  on transport models  website  with a good bit of discount and thought that it  could be drafted into either the RAF or fleet air arm. I have put an arrestor hook on it also from the spares  box. I was thinking  a spey engine could  just  about  fit  in one too as they are only  4 inch  wider than the J57. In wiffworld terms  it would work.

Thats nice. Wasn't there a proposal for a single seat variant for the USN?
Hope you start feeling better mate!
You've been keeping busy though! :thumbsup:

Cheers... Ray

Thankyou Ray
These have taken quite a while to get done  as I was in hospital for 10 days and felt crap  since I come home.  I am slowly starting to get  my mojo back with  building again as I am  currently  building  another  subtle wiff  for the RAF.
