    Hello and welcome to build number 7 since getting back on the modeling horse. When I get a dozen done I'll stop counting. Sadly, at the rate I'm going it's that's not happening until the end of 2015! So what do we have here and why? After build 6, which was a satisfyingly dirty ARTF 'pink' Op Granby Jaguar GR1 in 1/72nd, (go see if you haven't. Shameless plug. : http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234953776-172-italeri-jaguar-gr1-op-granby-build-no6-and-counting/#entry1519222), I decided to do a shinier, cleaner and more colourful build, which would also hopefully be a reasonably rapid one as well. So off to the stash to collect an F89 Scorpion my girlfriend bought for me from the Newcastle Modelzone when they were closing down. I had never seen the F89 before until I spotted the Revell kit. I thought it was a most interesting looking aircraft and decided to check out its history, including the failed intercept by a pair of F89Ds of an F6F-5K unmanned target drone on August 16 1956. They did apparently start a few raging bush fires and shred the front of someone's car with the unguided rockets they fired. Accurate they are not. So.. Here it is. Totally OOB and built over a period of about 4 weeks which is super speedy for me. Alclad Aluminium for most of the metallic. A mix of Humbrol Trainer Yellow 24 and Scarlet 60 in approximate 50/50% 60/40% mixes for the red. Weathering? Just a little. Nice, easy, pleasant build of an interesting aircraft. Thank you for your attention.
