I thought I'd posted something about this build ages ago, and I've even found a pic I took back then, but I can't find it with the Forum Search function, so here we go again.

It's a Mach2 kit obviously, but I'm building it as an 'in service' version as a point defence fighter with missile armament and radar.



The obligatory box lid, to prove I didn't make it up.  ;D




The bits I still have to add, landing gear, fins, wheels on the launch trolley, missiles etc.




The bits I've glued together already, plus the added radar nose, but I can't remember where it came from.




The glued up launch trolley, quite well moulded for Mach2 stuff too!




The older pic, showing how it will look eventually.




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! :)

I'm reading the OTHER KITS IN THE RANGE notes on the side of the box; there are some potentially tasty items mentioned there!

Rare model, weird on a shelf!
Such a thing being mass produced is very what-if yes.
I have read a book about what-if civilian (very beautiful) derivatives, maybe they can be seen on Secret Projects forum. But if you prefer fighter way, do like you prefer of course.
[the word "realistic" hurts my heart...]

Remember, though, it's Mach2, so your level of frustration may vary depending on kit.

WELL spotted Brad, thanks VERY much.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

How the devil did you find it, cos I looked for AGES and failed? Of course it didn't that I renamed it in the original thread.  :banghead:

I'll knock this thread on the head and continue the 'new build' on the old thread I think.
