Oldies and Goodies - 50's FROG collection!

[Faust]

When I say "silver", what comes to mind? Is it a very precious metal? Is it the hair on an elderly gentleman? Or, is it the streamlined shape of a prowling fish?

One thing that should come to mind is fast '50s jets, with their penchant for bare-metal silver chrominess! And, just like those real jets, there were a lot of kits from that time that tried to capture the look with silver plastic!

I recently came across a quintet of such kits, and they're silver in that they are supposed to look fast, they are aged, being from the '50s, and they are somewhat precious! For some really classic, early-run-not-retro old-skool modelling excitement, check out my score of 1950's FROG jets at the link below! Vote on your favourite, too!

The best part is that some of these represent only prototypes, and thus allow you to take the aircraft in a different direction! Pretty cool for whiffing!

Excellent stuff, I had all of them in my collection at some time, and built them too.

My fave was the FD2 with its 'droop snoot' nose, and the later Novo re-pops make excellent whiff fodder with that long thing fuselage, the pure delta wing and the snoot of course.

The Scimitar kit was actually a model of the non-area ruled 525, so it makes a good basis for any of the early, straight winged, 505, 508 etc.

I built two FD.2s - a single seater and a duel seater - in Israeli service:
