Congratulations for the repurposing of such disparate parts. Seeing the possibilities hdden in the brute matter is the artist's touch.
Owing to the current financial difficulties, the light at the end of the tunnel will be turned off until further notice.

"1/72 Trumpter Wyvern S.4. Kit supplied British markings replaced with Ventura RNZAF Kiwi roundels. MRP paints and resin A-1 Skyraider pylons were added, along with napalm tanks, SNEB rocket pods, and AN M30A1 100lb bombs.
Built as a fictional Wyvern S.4 transferred to the Royal New Zealand Air Force in 1960. The S.4s were renamed "Haast" from the ancient predatory Haast Eagle that lived in New Zealand. This Haast was one of 20 S.4s the RNZAF sent to Vietnam to assist the U.S. intervention there. Similar to the A-1 Skyraider, the Haast provided close air support to ground forces.

Hadn't thought of one of those in Kiwi markings... interesting.
And the name is pretty appropriate. :thumbsup:

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Very nice., 👍. I've got a pair of Trumpeter kits, one of which will be a replacement for the A-1 Skyraider - the A2-D Douglas/Westland Firedrake. Licence built substitute for the failed A2-D Skyshark.
That long nose cries out for a big shark mouth and, I think it will look dandy in S E Asia finish. 😀

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

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

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
