Liberator224J Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Found this Dummy (?) missile on the starbd pylon of a Scimitar landing on HMS Ark Royal. Port side not Visible so i took the liberty of making up a scenario where they allotted Just one Missile for firing at the range per pilot and fitted the dummy on the other side for symmetry. Anyone with real facts please elaborate on the Orange AIM9B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberator224J Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 She surely was a Big Aeroplane. That Voodoo is huge in 48 and she almost matches the size. Can only imagine the ingenuity and nightmares the RN boffins and Pilots went through to fly her off the smallish RN Carriers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJP Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Navin you have really done this kit justice - looks very nice and you put it together so quickly - I'm still bogged down in the fuselage with mine but now I can see what's possible if I keep going.

Liberator224J Posted June 7, 2020 Author Share Posted June 7, 2020 Thanks but it was Dynavector that made it so easy and inspiration from our fab admin's gorgeous build 10 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJP Elbow grease. Get her going. Cantbwait to see her finished. In fact im so in love with the Scimitar that once the world opens up again We shoild bring all the Scimitars to a model show and place them together for a photo shoot.
