Just poking around on the back pages of Hyperscale, and came across this little gem, a single seat Fairey Firefly, by Charles Knell. LINK

I rather like that, but I bet the pilot doesn't. That loooooon nose is even longer than a Spitfire's!  :o
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

That looks very good indeed...  :thumbsup: Reminds me of the Firebrand TF Mk.II.

My only question is who designs the fins on some of these Russian missiles?

The guy who designed the Thunderceptor was a double agent.  ;D



That give me nightmares 💤😱

I have considered such a conversion on the basis of an Airfix kit, but eventually folded it because of the MANY changes beyond the fuselage that it would require. We have the Seafang, though. ;-)

I dunno.  Is it any longer than a Corsair's nose?

Thank you for helping my aged brain retrieve the memory it was looking for  ;D

I like the profile, the "flying" example looks a bit on the small side to me, either that or the pilot's to big ? Anyway would look good with a a full bubble canopy.  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

No, the pilot just sat quite high in a fairly cramped office.
