Dear fellow modellers,
I would like to show you two models I finished last year. They are interesting parts of British Aviation history. The SR.53 was a Project combining jet Propulsion with a rocket Motor to bring the Aircraft quickly to a high altitude.
The model Shows the Aircraft as it was during the first flights in 1957, when there was no armament. Later the SR.53 was equipped with some colourful rocket mock ups.
As a matter of fact I built the old Airfix kit in the early 70s and I was happy to see this type produced as a contemporary kit, but.
