Something of a similar  era to the SR 53,  this will be made  in to an interceptor  too. Any  guesses? ;D

It's a Fairey FD2 at the moment.........................
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

In one  Kit,  :thumbsup:
This thing  is going to be a  putty monster  by the looks of it,  and  has lots of flash,  but I  think  I  will be able  to make a  super sonic  interceptor out of it eventually  ;)

It used to be a delightful little kit in its FROG days, but back then the mould edges matched each other........

I've still got a couple of them in The Loft, amazingly.

I got  as far as gluing the fuselage  together  last night  and sanding  the seams off, i have built  much worse than this, I  think it will be a fun little  build.

It was a lovely example of what Frog could do  :thumbsup:

As a youngster I was always surprised that it was never put into service as a fighter

I need to have a root through my decals and see if I  have  any  brightly coloured  ones  for it, as I  am considering  doing it  NMF, with  some  brightly coloured markings on it

I have  just  noticed  that the box still has its price  label on.  It's from Hannants and it cost a jaw dropping..........39p ;D ;D

39p ? You were done mate  ;)

Mine was probably 2/-. That's 10p to all you youngsters  ;D
