Just finished one of the recent Airfix 1/72 Gnats.

What if the Omani's had wanted the Gnat instead of the Strikemaster?

looks rather tidy in that scheme.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

The rocket pods look HUGE hanging under the Gnat's wing, but it is a very small aeroplane.  ;) :thumbsup:
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! :)

- 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.

After they bought the Swift, they'd need a trainer, too...  :rolleyes:

Looks very good in the Green/Brown scheme.  :thumbsup:

My thoughts exactly, come out well
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Cheers guys.

The rocket pods are from the single seat Gnat, which is even smaller. :thumbsup:
