Very nice! And looks very smart in her anti-flash white  :smiley:

Kind of deserves the "Swift" name:

And a second vote for the name Swift :D


Er, it's a V-Bomber, so it has to have a 'V' name . . .   ;)    ;D
Just a tiny quibble, shouldn't the grey/black part of the nose radome be on the bottom?    ???


cheers,
Robin.

Could the "Viscious" with first flight 1948-49.  Expresses early jet bomber feel really well.  :smiley:
What scale is canopy, hence bomber ?

Perhaps a "pre-V-bomber" using the Swift name?  Much like the Sperrin.  That's a beautiful aircraft, there.

Yep, could go with that, but then there is the Supermarine Swift, in the same timeframe . . .   ::)

I thought about that. But it would have required a change to the nose gear doors and I didn't really have time to work that one out.

The canopy is from a 1/72 Mosquito. It was a 1/48 to 1/72 scaleorama.
