Title: Nightingale ... but no Florence by a wide margin!
Post by: Antonio Sobral on September 29, 2017, 05:58:10 AM

Hi guys

Sorry about all these hiatuses, but life has been very erratic these last months.

Anyway, please find below one of my last projects: The Nightingale  Mk. I Cold Jet Low Altitude Cruise Missile.

Unfortunately there was no time to think of a story to justify it.
I just like the sound of the word Nightingale :)

The original kit was the new 1/72 Airfix Harrier.

But the final product was scaled down to 1/48 by virtue of the lovely female engineer figure :)


Thanks for watching!

But which way does it fly? :o


Actually, yes, I know it flies pointy-end forward but, if you can't see the landing gear, it's hard to pick.


Love the idea of variable attitude air intakes. Great build, Antonio! :smiley: :smiley: 8)

Beautiful!!  Are you sure the engineer's first name isn't Florence?  ;)
