Julien Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Oscar EW 5894 Phallus Lightweight Tactical Fighter Bomber (or Folland Gnat) from the film Hot Shots. Based on the carrier USS Essess. This is the special hobby kit which goes together really well, all apart from the canopy, the fit there was terrible, but might have been me? 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Looks as if it built up well. One of my favourite scenes from the film is when Lloyd Bridges has his false teeth in upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 These markings are now available in the Airfix 1/72 Gnat kit as a factory option. Airfix must have some cool guys in marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Julian can you remember what colour you painted this model, FS No or the such? The reason I ask is that I am making one and the paints that are suggested on the instruction sheet are not the ones that I use.
