I can't help feeling the date may have some effect on this item................  ;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! :)

I need another Trumpeter Wyvern and a Airfix Swordfish so I can build the Python powered Fairy-Westland Fishwyve...

You'll need to build two Fairy-Westland Fishwyves, I'm sure a singular would be a Fishwyfe. ;D

Coming next: A Tiger Moth with an Allison 250. Twice the engine power for half the weight: what could possibly go wrong...

Well, I don't have a Tiger Moth in the stash but I do have a Kawanishi K5Y which is of a similar size...
