Title: Oscar EW-5894 Fallus
Post by: ed s on October 26, 2018, 11:47:11 AM

My latest completion.  But the real question is this a WHIFF of a RW model? The model is of the Oscar EW-5984 Fallus which is a fictionalized plane in the movie Hot Shots.  But the plane in the movie is a real Folland Gnat with spurious markings.

While the pedantic members debate this, here are some photos.

This is the new Airfix 1/72 Folland Gnat. It is a nice kit, some reasonable details and a good fit. The decals are actually from the kit. A little humor from the folks at Airfix.

It sure looks good in U.S. markings!

If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right!
