So a swing-thin-winged Javelin perhaps ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks for the response guys. Guns are still located in the wing but more inboard, in front of the wheel wells. Hope to finish this as a Royal Navy machine, EDSG over white.

Lovely idea, plenty of room in that slab of a wing for the mechanism but shift the guns...they'll play havoc with the pivots. WATCHING :o

I wonder if you could use a Buccaneer instead of the Javelin?

I think I bought this very model the other day too, just for sh*ts and giggles. For just 6 and something euros it wasn't a risky purchase.
Opening the box I saw what I already was suspecting was true: I have seldom seen thicker plastic than this model. You almost need an angle grinder to get through! (-;
It looks like a very very old mould now reused by some Polish manufacturer. Presumably a Frog-reboxing. Very good for a kitbash / whif treatment.

I like the swing wing. It makes the Javelin even wider than usual. And it already is a hulk of a plane. Looking forward to see the progress.

I think this is based on the Airfix 1/48 kit, which, by comparison, is a dream come true.  Detail and fit is perfect.  I have one on the go at the moment.

It is the 1/48 Airfix kit guys.
