Flying S Models

[Old Wombat]

Over on BtS I was put onto this company & this model in development;





There is a website but that's pretty void of, well, anything, really. On Facebook, however .... (you do, unfortunately have to be logged into F'book to view in page)

Any guesses, before you go to the page?

A Reno racer?

Looks good whatever it is!

It defenetly has some "Tsunami" influenes. Being in pale blue IT reminds me of the red roo model of Tsunami.

Signed into Facebook and then clicked the link, all I can see is a few pages of photos, no text whatsoever to describe anything...

Some interesting looking model's there though, two that caught my eye were a Argentine (I think) F4u Corsair and a Piper Enforcer.

And at a glance I thought I saw a sci-fi ship but realised that it was a F-89 with the wingtip missile pod's open and no tail surfaces.

Is it a Blackburn Firebrand without the big rudder fitted?

Having seen it elsewhere I won't say what it is, but I will say look at the wing gun bay panels as their design is a little bit of a give away insofar as the manufacturer is concerned.

I don't find that helpful much, Gun placement or panels for gun bays are not a strong point of mine. To my eye the fin, rudder and tail planes have a rather Martin Baker look to them though...

Is it a radial (Centourus?) powered MB-5?

Is it a radial (Centaurus?) powered MB-5?

Very close!

Try just a little earlier.

Red Roo made a model of Tsunami?! How did I miss that?!!

MB-3?

MB-3?

Close.  It is an MB-4 which apparently was to be powered by a Centaurus...

[Old Wombat]

Yep!

It's a whif, as it's a kit of a Centaurus-powered variant of an aircraft (a Griffon-powered MB.3 development) that was never built.

Not sure I like the guy's sales model or his lack of a functional website (he has one, it's just useless). His prices, also, seem to be extremely high.

I'd love to buy one & I'll keep an eye on his FB page but, if the price isn't reasonable &/or it's too hard to go through the purchasing process, it's not likely to happen.

Cool

Have to admit that the rear end certainly has that MB look about it, it's just that Martin Baker made a big thing about their ammunition feed system and it's something that's stuck in my mind for some reason.
