As a long-time lover of that old Hawk/Testors kit, let me say that I am presently sitting in a pool of my own saliva with a silly grin on my face. FANTASTIC!

What an amazing device! Superbly done.

If course that's the one that's in the Solent Sky Museum in Southampton, isn't it?

Looks really great in these colors. Striking!

Beautiful, id never envisaged the Swift with floats, a logical progression from the Attacker project tho

Excellent , great concept and realisation.

Great job. I hate to paint gold, you pulled it off wonderfully.

Did someone say Attacker? This would have been much slower!

Oh that's just purrrrrrdy........

Has anyone ever actually built that PM Spit, rather than just nicking the floats out of it?

Now why would anyone here want to do something as OOB as that?

I find it a bit odd, but it is certainly a beauty.
