Airfix kit. Sliced off the bits at the tips of the wings to add LERX, but I like the way it looks like this !

I had a plan the other night, but to be truthful, now I can't remember what it was going to be !! I know it was RCN, but I can recall the colours I was going to use..... :banghead:

Which was parked just across from the SIG stand at Cosford last weekend.......
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

I did, and 'L' is next to 'K' on my keyboard, as with most members here, but on mine all the letters are worn off..............

A new keyboard can cost the same as or less than a New Airfix Swordfish

Not if it's a laptop, a new one for mine would cost over £100!

USB keyboards are a little more expensive than the usual type and will plug into the laptops USB sockets and allow you to type quite normally although its best to have the keyboard  in before you start your laptop. Its what I use at work and have for my own laptop.

I'm glad I got mine cut up before I saw that pic, Robert ! That thing is u-g-l-y ! Thanks for showing me what it really looked like tho. I'll have to do a little research and see what effect it had on the Jag's performance.

I did a little work on mine last night. And I almost recall what I had originally planned, and I don't think it was RCN at all, but RCAF !

The real one still exists and is at one of the RAF museums.  Although in the restoration process, they repainted it wrong even though there's hundreds of photos of it on the internet showing as it was.
