Is that your latest creation Martin, wouldn't mind a copy of it when you're done please.

[Martin H]

it was a sort of commission job that I did last year.

It was mastered by Roger the Cabin boy. I did about 6 of em before the moulds gave up the gost.

I might do more at a later date, but for now its out of production.

Red Arrows...

No time scale is wrong, Yellowjacks.

Looks a bit like a version of the Me 262

'46 scenario, RAF receives the P-80 on lend-lease.  Some T-33's stay on charge after the war is over.

They couldn't because we would have had to pay for them and we were broke.  Anything lend lease either went back, got scrapped or chucked over the side. One of the lakes in the Lake District is littered with Catalinas full of bullet holes in the bottom.

Time to go fish'n in the lake!!
By the way, Martin H, What did kit you use for the engines on the Skyfox?  Or did you scratch build 'em?  I've got a 1/48th T-33 and a Cessna Citation I may kitbash someday.

Auxiliary Air Force - Overall painted aluminium/high speed silver (delete as appropriate - or simply don't bother), with yellow 'trainer bands' and VERY colourful unit bars each side of the fuselage roundel, like the Meteor T7's and Harvards.

As an extension of this, how about squadron/station hacks going through the subsequent camouflage era's - imagine that there was no-such-thing as defence cuts - pick a squadron and follow it through from the overall 'silver' all the way to the lo-vis greys...

...Hmmm, wonder how much I'd need to pay for four of the old Heller kits in New Zealand ??

IF you can find them...

They haven't been out since the 80s AFAIK.  Last seen in the phototop box.  Well, the last once I saw was.  I'd like one for myself to do as a PR one.

They came from a 1/144th Revell Airbus A319.

They came from a 1/144th Revell Airbus A319.

They'll be the optional V-2500 engines then. Not all the Revell Airbus narrow bodies come with both V-2500 and CFM-56 engines, some only have the CFMs, so better to check before you buy.

From what Ive seen of the RAF/RN they hate tandem on dedicated trainers but adbanced and dual role they do approve like the Alpha Jet E and such. Would be perfect for that. Wing tip pods from a F 89 Scorpion?
