I dug this out of a box the other day, and decided to give it a makeover. Yea, it's the old Airfix model shot against a real sky backdrop.
I removed the wire holding the fighter, and added the contrails with Adobe.

Model: Airfix 1/72 Angel Interceptor

Gary

very nice...  Arifix???  Cool!

anyone know where I can snag a kit of this?

Or a Sky 1 from the UFO series?

I was sorta thinking What if it it had national markings, like leafy roundels.

Very nice!  :)  Now if someone weren't able to get another kit of that, it might be possible to kitbash something together from an F-104 Starfighter, a A-4 Skyhawk, and possibly a F-5 Freedom Fighter.  That Angel Interceptor looks like it has the lines and looks of all three.

Looking good, Lyn !

I've got an old Airfix catalogue, and it's got one in it.....always wanted one !

And isn't that Luke Skywalker at the helm ?

:P  
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

Long Live the Commonwealth !!!
Vive les Canadiens !
Where's my beer ?

Oh man, I remember building one of these when I was a kid, ooooh 25 years ago.  If someone had said to me then "in 25 years you'll be able to sell this on a thing not yet invented called ebay on a thing not yet invented called the internet, for loads of money" I'd have laughed in their face and built it in a hour - like I did in reality  :lol:

Looks sweet btw Glenn  :wub:

Sales of Airfix kits plummeted in the 1980s, and GCSEs had to be made easier as a result - James May

Hmm. I have a kit of one of these in the closet, but I don't know if it's the Airfix or IMAI. I'll check and let you know; it's on my "Not gonna build list", so it's available for trade, if you want it.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Great looking model, Glenn!

A couple of years back, I bought a pair of Airfix Angel Interceptors on behalf of a collector friend of mine in the States.  I see only one IMAI version on eBay currently:

I don't ask, and I don't tell.  :ar:

Actually, too many models :o , and the occasional dim-witted cat when I don't check thoroughly before closing up. :rolleyes:

Around here it's likely to be any one of four extremely curious & comparatively fearless cats.  We've learned to check real carefully before shutting closet doors. :D

Typical bloody cat!! Get's itself into trouble, can't get out of it; then settles down to sleep until it's owner has to rescue it. Stupidly sometimes.
