AIRCRAFT BRITAIN SHOULD HAVE HAD

[NARSES2]

Firstly wellcome aboard.

There's some really nice stuff there 

[kerick]

Nice whiffs! How about a navalized Hunter?

[rickshaw]

Done two:

Hawker Sea Hunter


Hawker Herne (development of the Sea Hunter)

crudebuteffective (welcome, newcomer!!)----Going back a little further in time than your late-WW II models--great looking by the way(!)--the British disdained the dive bomber for carrier use, but not in MY whif-world. Here below is a mock-up for my Hawker Henley Mk IV carrier dive bomber (roughly late-1942). (For some reason Photobucket decided to re-organize my photos in NOT chronological order, so I cannot find the finished version). I took the real Henley dimensions and "Tempest-ized" the components (actually "Tornado-ized"--note the double-row exhausts and car door entries). It is now a potent, two-place dive bomber capable of carrying ship-busting ordnance. Britain shoulda-oughta had something like this!!



[edit] Found one!

Nice henly mate

i did a tornado prototype ( real world "forgive me lord whiff i have sinned") a few years back and i remember getting the exhausts  stacks right was a nightmare

when i get chance i'll get pictures of our in service martin baker MB5 and  far east spiteful and highball mossie put on

[sequoiaranger]

Heh, Heh!! Just you wait!

>Nice henly mate<

Thanks. I would love to see your "Tornado" (assuming its the prop job of the early 40's, not the more modern jet--I have an aversion to anything made in the last 60 years!  )

OK, here is my version of a "Highball Mossie", the Americanized "Fairchild Flounder" at "Britmodeller" (though I am not a Brit):

Then, there is the "scale-error" Gloster Goatsucker four-engined bomber with an "upkeep"-type weapon underneath. A Canadian mating of Lancaster wings to an inadvertantly-oversized Mossie fuselage (error of scale in the production plans, yeah right!):

here is the promised pickies of the highball mossie

made ten years ago to represent  a 618 sqn aircraft  and i include the spiteful aircraft made later







and for sequoiaranger pictures of my hawker tornado

[sequoiaranger]

Nice ones CbE! I like the "greening-out" of the top roundel of the Spiteful. Well-noted is the Paragon (assumption) set of Highballs on the Mossie. I have NEVER seen a Tornado built up!! Good on ya THERE!

Nice Mossie CBE 

Like the Tornado as well. Got one out to start but I'll be doing mine in operational markings

[crudebuteffective]

the tornado is from my "prototypes" phase


we are pretty big on RAF 56 squadron around here so here's  the avro arrow F1

[crudebuteffective]

And here's the scorpion F1

[Rheged]

There's  some  very  interesting material  here!  This is a thread   I   shall be visiting  regularly.

[Captain Canada]

Nice collection ! I really dig the turbo firefly and the Auckland.

HI RICKSHAW

The navalised hunters are great

[McColm]

Wow!!
