Had a couple of these, word of warning both kits were smothered in mould release agent, worst I have ever seen, make sure you give the sprues a very good clean before you start your build. Selwyn

I think your looking for the word "Coaming.". Selwyn

Doesn't look very accurate, pilot doesn't have the helmet with the movement sensors on it for the helmet HMSS display. https://www.eurofighter.com/news-and-events/2010/07/eurofighter-typhoon-air-forces-take-delivery-of-a-latest-technology-helmet-mounted-symbology-system Selwyn

If you are doing the airfix 1/72 kit be aware that the propeller is totally wrong and needs replacement, there is one available aftermarket. Selwyn

OOH! you sound all bitter and twisted! Selwyn

Might want to ask the mods to move this into cold war for some additional answers, the swift was definitely not a pre war aircraft! Selwyn

Obviously didn't read the previous three posts! Selwyn

The SMER kit was worth buying because the decal sheet was quite good. and better than the inpact sheet. You could get the kit for a few pounds which equated to the price of aftermarket decal sheet! Plastic was absolute rubbish, think the fuselage was very short as well. Most people got it for that reason. Selwyn

Must have been late 81, as it was still on strength when I left 233 OCU in October of that year. Selwyn

No T4N in 1982 Selwyn

You seem to have missed out all the rotary wing aircraft! Selwyn

Are you fitting any weaponry to this build? if so don't use the kit supplied stuff which is badly out of scale, I think the bombs supplied are closer to 1/32 than 1/48. Selwyn

Reminds me of the Lavochkin LA 15 as well Selwyn

put the lower fuselage up against the light, you should see the thinned holes as translucent points. Selwyn
