Not sure about the Wyvern bottles, but the Academy ones are 12mm long and 3.5mm in diameter

EDIT: Just found a photo of a Meteor fitted with six of the bottles like the Academy kit ones. (page 98 Aerofax, Gloster Meteor)

Thankyou Robert, I may end up scratch building some if I can't get any by other means, as I don't really have any use for two f-84's

Thorvic has just pointed me in the direction of some suitable resin ones on hannants website, I had to buy several sets to spend over their threshold, but that means I have some for several other projects

Use a couple of Bloodhound boosters as the launch rockets?

I have an unopened kit of that in my stash somewhere, I could perhaps copy/scratch build some like that I suppose, but the ones Thorvic pointed me at should do the trick. I could use the boosters on another project that is festering in my grey matter, something a lot bigger.

One of the kits has a spare fuselage and three sets of wings, I am thinking perhaps a royal navy version, as they were supposed to get the sr 177 wasn't they? I can scratch build an arrestor hook a put a beefier front landing gear on it. It would be small enough to stow on an aircraft carrier.

They were due to, yes

If I can get enough bits together to build another one, I will do it as a naval version. I will need to source some small decals for it too, and look at colour schemes.

Try 1/144th scale decal sheets. Lots of that stuff about at the moment.
