Fell the need? 

Probably the dissimilar adversarial Scooter then (but I prefer titchy jets in 1/32 so rather it was a Mirage F.1).

Actually, it says “Fell the need”

 

It’s got to be a model of logging equipment 

 

If it's not a Scooter it's going to be a motorcycle

A teaser... A low-drag external under wing fuel tank tip ?

I'm thinking something Canadian like an Avro Arrow or Snowbirds Tutorjet in 1/48th🙃


My money is on a Tutor. Raymond did promise a dear departed friend one.

 

Although the hints don’t point to one.

Early F-15? An F-15A? I found this link that features a picture of an early F-15 with the black radome tip:  https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/197972/mcdonnell-douglas-f-15-streak-eagle/

Yes, it's pure speculation on my part, but Kinetic has done an F-16 and F-104 series and an F-15 series seems to be within the realm of possibility. 

I initially thought it might be the AMX but that airplanes radome tip is rounded.

Very sad we aren't getting a Skyhawk :(

 

 

Sorry if I'm being silly, but how do you know that? I just looked on their Facebook page but couldn't see anything.

Got it.

 

!/48 cloud formation as a back drop to make your models  look more realistic.

 

I'm off for a lie down now. :tease:

Aermacchi M-346

I looked for pictures of the M-346 and noted the Polish AF models have the black nose tip. But does the M-346 have that much appeal in the plastic modeling community? Then I looked to see if anyone had produced a kit and found Kinetic has already done it in the Gold series. I'm feeling pretty foolish now.

The hastags in the post are all the standards, EXCEPT the Skyhawk.

Only tags Airfix, Tamiya and Revell

Could be the wing tank on the Skyhawk. Some did have coloured tips.

My aircraft reccy may well be off (and I indeed hope it is) but if that teaser is meant to show the final product, its not a skyhawk nose. I hope it is a skyhawk tank.
