They all seem to be pointing or directing.  If I was the pilot, I'd be gettin' confused somewhat as to who was in charge.

I got a boxed Frogspawn Hornet at Telford in the kitswap.  I would have bought it anyway but it was the box that sold it to me, because other than Novo or Frog, I've yet to see the Hornet in another box. 

The artwork?  Really bad reverse block line art - outline graphic - on dark blue print and the cardboard quality ws barely a step up from toilet paper.

Judging by the tropical beach locale, it's probably the one carrying nukes that explodes in that vile vomitfest "The Christmas Tree", starring William Holden.

I like the way it says 'Authentic Scale Model' on the box but omits to say WHICH scale!  ;D

I believe it's 1/166th. Built one back in the 60s, not a bad little kit actually, good fit, few parts, and a good intro for a beginner. Years later I turned it into an exec jet:

Ah, the ever popular 1/166 scale. Such a huge range of models in that scale..............  ;D :lol:
