RCN(?) Supermarine Attacker

The Rat · February 21, 2024, 09:46:53 PM

RCN is not carved in stone, might depend on how well the decal printing goes.

Novo/Frog, plastic is rather translucent

Scratch up an extremely basic cockpit, Everyone knows that the canopy in this kit is dreadful, but at least Novo managed to turn out a rather clear one this time, so some interior is required.

Made a bit of a control panel to 'busy' the visible areas. Thank the modeling gods for spare drop tanks.

Primer on, let's hope I managed to get all the oil off of the plastic. Most panel lines have been rescribed.

Nice start. I remember this old kit and anything is an improvement over the standard offering.

I have a 1/48 Trumpeter one which I have been tying to decide what to do with. I'm thinking RAF '46?

See the backstory for the Defender here https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=50553.105

That'd be a Defender F1....................

Thanks Rat for the ideas. I have this one and mulling things over. Will be cheering you on and open to shameless plagiarism!

We're good at it around here, almost a requirement for membership.

I have one of those in mid-process, but I extended the fuselage in front of the wing somewhat, making it having a tricycle gear. Plus it looks a tad more balanced.
Some day, I might return to it and post a pic or two.

Got an envelope from CanMilAir Decals today, just what I needed for marking this little chap.

You'll never look at a spare drop tank the same way again, a thousand and one uses!
