Oh no, now you've made we want to buy a Bronco kit!

That top one does look nice doesn't it 

Being stupid I'm allowed to ask daft questions  Does the NI in NI Flight simply stand for Northern Ireland ? Or is it something technical ?

'Night Intruder' maybe? It's a 'D' so it has the IR pod under the nose, handy for spotting the odd PIRA 'Active Service Group' crossing the border perhaps?

Seeing that the operating base is given as RAF Aldergrove I would say that NI flight stands for Northern Ireland although perhaps giving it a flight number such as "1829 Flight RAF Aldergrove" would have been more appropriate.

Yes the Bronco is the Northern Ireland Flight used for "Photographic reconnaissance" though many observers noted additional antenna which was passed of by official comments about communications with army and RUC.

Another Bump

WRT the Civil fuselage, could you use one from a helicopter? I'm thinking something like a late Kamov variant could work.
That's what I'll be using, but that's cos I'm cheap and lazy...

Maybe, it's almost square in section, and then you'd need to add the ramp and sort out the nose.

I really MUST finish mine, it's been 6 years since I did anything on it!

please do

Ooh, OOh - what about the Airfix Islander kit, Kit? (feeble attempt at humour)
It's square in section, and an angled rear with a door would be a doddle.
The wingroots may even be in the right place... or you could use the Islander wings with the Bronco booms?

That would, of course, leave 2X podded engines for another project... ...

[PR19_Kit]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Islander is too narrow for a CV-10. At the time I started work on that the Islanders were almost impossible to find and scratching the fuselage was a lot easier.

I believe there is a Australian 1/72nd kit by 'Uncle Les' perhaps our southern friends know more.
