rickshaw Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Real World Build - Supermarine Scimitar The Supermarine Scimitar was a British naval fighter aircraft operated by the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm. The prototype for the eventual production version flew in January 1956 and production aircraft were delivered in 1957. It saw service with the Royal Navy from 1958 until 1969, replaced in service by the Blackburn Buccaneer. This is my only real world build for over 30 years. It is a Scimitar from Merlin Models which I purchased off of EvilBay several years ago. It has been painted with a hairy stick and Vallejo paints. The decals came in the box and represent an aircraft from 803 Squadron FAA operating off of Ark Royal. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryanm Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Amazing - you finished it! It's the only kit I've ever given up on and chucked in the bin, just keeping the canopy and decals to restore my old Frog N.113. The front and back fuselage quarters seemed to be from different kits. Congratulations!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
