It's a Scimitar! Wooooooohooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! *strutt* :-D


Let's see, export price is just over 15 1/2 quid so I just need another

14 1/2 to make thirty! Hurry up with those Seafires too please!

That's simple. *Two* Scimitars! :-D

I wonder what FAA models will have in the pipeline for this one.

According to Wikipedia, they were used by:

No. 700X Flight

736 Naval Air Squadron 800 Naval Air Squadron 803 Naval Air Squadron 804 Naval Air Squadron 807 Naval Air Squadron Fleet Requirements Unit

A budy-budy refueling pod would be nice to go with the kit, sidewinders are easily stocked from an early Hasagawa weapons set and other than fuel tanks I havent seen pictures of the Scimitar carrying much else. Of course someone will prove me wrong.

Gondor

1000lb bombs or 2" rocket pods would be more appropriate than Winders.

The Scimitar is now in stock. And it isn't subject to the usual thirty quid overseas minimum.

Here's a bit of a teaser for you.

Hannants was in a different place then, on the high street in the middle of Lowestoft. These days it's in a maHOOSive warehouse in Oulton Broad. Tucked away in a corner are a Harrier and Sea Harrier! The Harrier was one of my jets when I used to run a HAS in Germany.
