Very, very nice indeed Bacofoil (love the handle!). JMN moment (sorry) - I guess you mean 'day fighter'? And nice name too, but I think 'Cutlass' is one their Airshipnesses probably would have liked to have kept - especially in post-war austerity Britain where the names budget was tiny!
Honest, lovely model, and while there's a good chance of spotting an RAF Sabredog I don't think there's very many RAF Cutlasses around and about.

A truly beautiful build

The British markings look so very right!

Thanks guys.I have to agree that this aircraft suits the RAF colours very well and doesn't it look like something out of the 2000,s and not the 50,s ?
I'm sure that with better engines(Avon's) and some R+D time it could have been "quite something".

Pretty

That is absolutely gorgeous!

The NMF finish is flawless, and the rest of it is sharp as a tack

I'm off to the Whiffies 2009 thread - who's joining me?

Excellent Cutlass Bacofoil, always loved the look of that plane and the RAF markings really do suit it. I'll have to think of something else to do on my one now as I couldn't get it to look as good as yours!

Glad you like it.Thank you. How about an Italian version Green Dragon ? I very nearly went that way with mine.Also nearly went for camo like early Javelin's but i luv metallic finish.

What a beautiful build! If you truly built that in a matter of days, well we all ought to bow down and grovel a bit.

This is great!

What was your source of roundels?

TIA,
