Kampartiger Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Will buy a box or two,it's not even in my favourite list but definately will buy it because of the historical background when the ajeet became a sabre slayer.Heck,it's so small and fast and difficult to spot.The name gnat fitted its combat behaviour well,small and irritating but it did performed extremly well.yes,will buy a few.

Procopius Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Very excited about this kit, especially after reading about its performance in the VRET trials against the Hunter FGA.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Looks as if it might appear sometime, anyone any idea of the boxings, i assume there will be the Ajeet in one box and knowing Special Hobby, seperate boxings for the RAF, Yugoslav and Finnish. Looking foward to this, had an Aeroclub in the stash for years and just finished an Airfix T1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 It has a reconnaissance nose option, and as far as I am aware only the Finns used it as such. There will doubtless be a Finnish boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 An Indian Air Force F.1 in Nordic blue would go down well. Though whether anyone has that particular shade in their range I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 With one of these now being rebuilt to fly at North Weald I will have to get one to add to my growing collection of N/Weald based aircraft that I have just started to put together and with the C54 from Revell x2 this could turn out to be a very expensive year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homebee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) More. Canopy open & close test build. Source: http://www.mpmkits.eu/2015/02/sh72137-folland-gnat-in-172-first.html SH72137 Folland Gnat in 1/72 the first testshot of the clear parts We are going to release yet another new model from steel moulds. The very last parts we are still waiting for are its clear parts. The first testshot of these parts (not polished yet!)turned out very well. All parts fit exactly as they were supposed to. Yes it is true that the Gnat´s open canopy looks a bit odd, but responsible are Folland´s designers and we simply had to stick to their design. To enable the modellers to make their model with a canopy either closed or open, we had to make two of them in the kit. The closed one is together with the windscreen, the other which is to be left open is sans the windscreen as this is a separate item. There is also another sprue with early version rear clear part and with clear windows for a recon version nose. V.P.

Gween Weeder Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'll buy the first boxing I see available, markings be damned. Been wanting an F.1 since I was a kid- it was in one of those tiny square Orbit kiddie airplane books, and I've always loved the shape. Figure I'll do it up in natural metal as a gear-up desktop model, since I likely won't have the guts to cobble together the mythical all-white Icelandic Coast Guard shipbuster version with Exocets.
