Thats crackingly cute! Looks so right.
Is there a going to be a supermarine variant on the cards, to join it?
You know, to fill the gap between the 224 and the Mk1. :thumbsup:

Cheers... Ray

Hmmm, a straight wing 224 maybe? Lots of scope there, and I've got a Rareplanes 224 vacform too.
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

What a beauty!  :wub:

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

I really like that Kit only problem I can see with those exhausts is that the pilot may need to wear a gas mask ? Mind you in a lot of early closed cockpit RAF aircraft that was advisable as well  :blink:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Like it. Good one.

- 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.

Really nice result, and silver is such a tough color, especially over surgery scars.  Really well done.  :thumbsup:

The aerial's gone!  :banghead:

I didn't notice it at the show, but it's not there in the piccie. I wonder what happened to it?

Glad you like it sandiego89, the 'artistry' in the silver finish is wholly due to Mr Halfords and his brill paint cans, assisted (a bit...) by me aiming the said can in the right direction.  ;) ;D :lol:

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY CYCLONE?

I'm packing models for Telford and I can't find the Cyclone ANYWhere!  :banghead:

I think I had it on display at the Bristol Show (in Thornbury....) but can't find it any of the boxes I had there, but one whole box seems to have vanished too. I can't work out  what else is missing apart from the Cyclone, but some of them MUST be.

I just found the lost box, and it was empty....

Still no sign of the Cyclone.  :angry:

I've got enough bits to make another one, but if I do I'll then find the original of course.....
