chrisrope Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Makes more sense in 48, it was a bit over-engineered in 1/72. I bought 2, built 1 and sold the other. I may get one depending on the markings in the trainer boxing-Silver and yellow or the red and white schemes please Airfix, please no day-glo orange again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvulcan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Brilliant news this. I am still eager to get on with the new 72nd scale one but 48th is a real treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian G Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Wings tanks on an Arrows Gnat? Only in private hands. No, we flew a few shows with the Slipper Tanks fitted in my time on the Team. If we flew long distance - (fitting the Tanks gave us an extra 120 gallons of fuel), and had to do a 'Show on Arrival', we would just do it. From the Flight Reference Cards of the Display Team Gnat A/C, there is no difference in the forward C of G with Slipper Tanks full or empty.

Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Can I have mine now please? This would be ideal for the Training Types GB which starts in 17 days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robvulcan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 The Gnat has always been a favorite, such a beautiful little beast. It would look good painted any colour and as well as having attractive schemes has great whiff potential too. I would love to model the Gnats from Hot Shots, Love that film reminds me of my childhood and making kits in the 90s. I made many of the old Gnats back then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
