The single seater and two seater Gnats are almost different aircraft, apart from the engine-centre section bit though.

Somewhere I have the Aeroclub single seater and it's tiny compared even to the old Airfix Gnat. Smaller wing span, smaller tail, shorter and differently shaped nose too, so there's quite a bit of work there.

Are you sure that's not the Maintrack Midge Kit, I've got one of those and you've described it almost to a tee

Erm, can I call a friend?  ;D

Ooops, that joke may not work in an international forum, sorry. It's so long since I've seen it that I'm darned if I can remember.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

We are suppose to be getting the new Gnat in tomorrow at work and from what I've seen of the kit on the Airfix stand at Telford it looks good, got my name down for two already.  ;D

Not generally a good thing, but at least I may be able to get them when they come out now!!

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Now is next month Dec or Jan ?

The January Airfix magazine, out today 1st Dec  :banghead:, has a build of the Gnat from a test shot. Looks nice.

Me I just want a couple of Swordfish
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

New tooling Geoff, and very well done at that, looks to be rather special  :thumbsup:
