JPuente54 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Hi, guys, I just got an email from Airfix for their new Folland Gnat T.1, kit No. A02105. They offer 2 sets of markings, one for No. 4 Flying Training School in Wales, 1970. The other is for OSCAR EW-5894 of the USS Essess. In case you don't remember the latter; it's the "Aircraft Carrier" from the movie "Hot Shots", released in 1991. Someone at Airfix does have a sense of humor. No doubt markings for other users will be released in the coming weeks. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I'd love to see someone do a conversion for the single-seat Ajeet from India or for the Finnish AF version… I don't know, other than the obvious fuselage change what else would be required, but it would be interesting to see.

The single seaters are so different in their structural components that such a conversion would be almost a totally new kit. Fortunately a kit of these variants has been issued by Special Hobby and it's a very good kit https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/1/1/folland-gnat-f-mk-i-finnish-and-yugoslav-se.html?listtype=search&searchparam=gnat https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/1/1/folland-gnat-f-mk-i-british-single-seaters.html?listtype=search&searchparam=gnat https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/novelty/hal-ajeet-mk-i-indian-light-fighter-1-72.html?listtype=search&searchparam=ajeet I'd rather buy one of these than trying to convert the Airfix T.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don McIntyre Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Thank you, Giorgio. I should have mentioned that I'd like to see one in 1/48th scale… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
