The Berkshire Mirage - Fairey Delta F.1

[Glenn Gilbertson]

Excellent work - and very convincing!

Beautiful, seamless kitbashing! I also see a bit of the Douglas F4D Skyway in there. Utterly convincing.

That looks great - very, very credible.

There WAS a plan for a relatively small fighter derivative (ER.103C?) but it was still bigger than the FD.2, being scaled up to use a DH Gyron or Rb.106 engine. It had Su-15-style air intakes rather than the blended ones, and reduced sweep on the outer wing (much smaller area than the Draken though) in order to carry two Firestreak/Red Top on tip rails. The trouble was that the RAF had convinced themselves that nothing smaller than the F.155 monsters would do, so there was never any official interest in it.

That's very pretty, great piece of work!

Looks good.  I did one in Isreali service - The Fairey Delta II – דֶלתָא – in Israeli service:



And a twin-seater trainer, again in Israeli service:

The more I look at it, the more I like that Lightning cockpit on there, it works SO well. 

[CammNut]

Thanks for the kind words, folks. It's fun when something comes together looking like it just should have existed

[NARSES2]

That's gorgeous
