Madoc 168 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hot damn! That is about the coolest looking jet to come from Britain - ever! I've long wanted to see one in kit form and soon it will exist! Link to post Share on other sites
Britman 1,876 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Good reason to have left English Electric alone to build the upcoming TSR2! Keith Link to post Share on other sites
Albeback52 2,143 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I'd love several but, (a) in styrene rather than resin and, (b) not at that price anyway! Guess I will pass on it.. Great subject though. Allan Edited August 15, 2018 by Albeback52 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Britman 1,876 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 As understand it , it would have better under Wartons control than Weybridge. Just my personal understanding having read"the story" several times over the years from different sources. Link to post Share on other sites

Geoff_B 501 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Nice but i wish they had gone for the winner of the competition for the requirement the Fariey Delta III, now that is an impressive beastie that Arnold could have a go at as would go well with their F108 Rapier 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Admiral Puff 2,095 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Now that would look nice with some kangaroo roundels on it ... Link to post Share on other sites
general melchett 9,674 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Great news, definitely be getting a couple.....hopefully we'll see a few more along these lines in the future. As Geoff says an FDIII would be very welcome... personally I'd really like to see something from the Hawker 1134 family or a Saunders-Roe P187...you never know! Link to post Share on other sites

Madoc 168 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 The FDIII would indeed be hellacool - and hella huge! That thing was an absolutely gloriously huge beast of a plane! But, if we can have the F-108 Rapier in kit form then we certainly can have the FD III! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Head in the clouds. 2,350 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I have seen it and have reserved a copy, it would be great if more designs were forthcoming, although it is a shame he does not have a UK outlet . Link to post Share on other sites
