Something I had been wanting to try since I saw an excellent photoshop on Hyperscale.
Here's the inspiration: Charles Knell's
F. Mk VI can't really add anything to Mr. Knell's excellent speculation. It probably would have been a better bet than the Firebrand, though I do wonder about the 'aircraft in the Seafire class' assertion...Even with the second seater
and equipment removed, the Firefly would have still been a bit heftier, methinks. The build is the venerable,
but quite nice Airfix kit that I picked up at a show for about five bucks three or four years back. I misplaced
the kit decals, so used a some from an old Heller Tempest V...I may go back and re-do the whole paint at
some point - I really didn't have anything suitable for the underwing roundels...so it doesn't have 'em.
