Hard to believe that it has any link to the Spitfire,nice model.

Difficult to see any actual commonality - if you are going to link it via the Spiteful's wings then the Swift was developed from an Attacker fuselage, with the Type 545 following on,  TSR 2 is probably at least one step too many.

Yes, the link being Spitfire, Spiteful (the last Spitfires using the same tail), Then the Attacker using the Spiteful's wings. I know the Swift was developed from the Attacker's fuselage, but the production aircraft was significantly different. That, and no one does a 1/48 kit yet.....lol

Nice work but it certainly is an ugly duckling.

It's the first I've heard of this a/c....good modelling by the way and nice paint job. Not sure what Super Marine's designers were thinking of but that tail fin looks very strange??

The Swift did have a different fuselage to the Attacker, mainly to get reheat on the back, but there's still a direct line of development via the Type 510 (Atacker with swept wing) Type 528 (add reheat) then the Type 535 Swift.  However, I grant you that would make the Swift more a Great grandson!
