The whole thing is a 'Whiff-in-a-box', even if they don't know that it is.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Presumably the USN decals could be used on an Airfix Gnat instead?

That's the way I would go with it to get the "True" aircraft.

No they wern't. All the flying shots were done with two T.1s and an S.211, but there was a single-seat Ajeet in some of the ground shots. See here:

Hope it comes with a decal for the "How's my flying?" sticker in the canopy!  :lol:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

How many complaints would one get at a show if one built it in a "disabled parking" space like in the movie? ;)

So. Many. Options!

I'll lay odds you could get a 1/76th scale parking meter from a model railway supplier to put next to it as per one shot in the movie.

I for one would find it quite funny, but then again, as a 'para' and full time 'chair user', I'm allowed!  ;)
Although, making a wheelchair and chair lift in 1/72 for the diorama would be a challenge :thumbsup:!

Putting the F.1 in Red Arrows colours on the sig stand as a double bluff might cause a bit of head scratching. :thumbsup:

Seeing as it would be a direct reference to the filum one would have to be seriously thin skinned and devoid of humour to complain.

Unfortunately "thin skinned and devoid of humour" is not a good definition of "nearly nobody" these days. I could see some outraged SJW demanding not only that the model be destroyed, but that all copies of the film should be gathered up and burnt as well.

The more I look at it, the more I think I'll have to get one.  Wonder if they'll be an Ajeet boxing?
