Perigrine Small Ship Fighter

[lenny100]

As i picket up a P.1216 kit up at the northen show, I thought it might be the perfict aircraft for my warship projects for next years northen show.

This aircraft will be fitted with a mad boom deploying from the port boom and the starbord will be fitted to deploy sonar bouys. the arment will be a mix of self defence arams on the wingtips, a pair of stingray torpedos and also a pair anti ship missile under the booms.

no phots yet but watch this space over the next few days.

needed a new tail because of the wight at the rear of the tail used by fitting the mad boom and the sonar buoys

now i know i said u wernt hanging around!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LOL

nice to see one put togeather, some of the UK gang have had exsamples of the batch one production run since the last Telford and not one (apart from Thorvics original scratch builds) has surfaced built up yet, your putting them to shame Lenny  

heres a pick of the test mule ive been putting togeather to make sure it all fits

Since the above photo was taken, mine is now sitting on its u/c and is getting very near to the paint shop. Those who have one of these will be glad to know it isnt a tail sitter.

For mine ive used the nose gear off an Airfix Tonka and the main gear is modified to single axle from a Heller Mirage 4. It will need to be mounted on a 2mm high block at the forward end inside the Boom u/c bay to be the right size.
This one will be RAF as opposed to the RN birds Thorvic has done so far.

[Captain Canada]

Nice work, guys ! Looking forward to more progress.

 

[Martin H]

progress he says?  well ok

taken tonight.


the canapy is off the old Revell EFA kit, with a small extension at the back from the top forward section off an airfix buccaneer slippertank.
