As part of its Inapertwa project,the decision was taken to purchase a modern SAM system to protect the cruise missiles against surprise attack.   The Boeing Bomarc system was chosen as part of a layered defensive system.  Over 50 launchers were installed in and around Darwin airstrip along with the associated radars.  This is a model of A101-89, a SAM which was never launched in anger, doing it's job to deter possible attack against the Inapertwa cruise missiles.












The model and launcher is the Belcher Bits Bomarc B kit and launcher.

That's VERY good indeed!  :thumbsup: :bow:

I didn't know anyone did a Bomarc in 1/72, but I keep forgetting the wonderful stuff that Belcher does.  :banghead:
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! :)

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

- 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.
