MPM Kit finished with Xtracrylic paint and Xtradecals. The serial and code from the Xtradecal sheet was changed to represent XE342 coded R/100 which was flown as part of the 800 NAS display team at Farnborough 1958.

The kit’s nosewheel was too small so I substituted a nosewheel from an old Airfix Seahawk. The MPM kit was OK but I think I would use the more modern Hobbyboss kit next time around.

 

The model is part of an 800 NAS jets collection, which starts with the Attacker – see photo.  The Scimitar is also done, as are 2 Buccaneers and numerous Sea Harriers, most of which have been posted to Britmodeller at various times. Still to do are two more Buccaneer S.2s, a couple more Sea Harrier FRS.1s, one more FA.2 and a Harrier GR.9. I may well add the Harrier T.8 now Sword have produced one, and a Hunter T.8. Looking forward to it all!
