You have a vector or six, then a Dreadnaught...

Must be a Tempest?

Hmmm... A flapped Jamison. Must be some variant that I haven't heard of.

Was a ... Strega and now looks like a ... mixed bag parts of different planes.  Looks like it has a Staris Fuselage/canopy, Lark wing flaps, Nobler Stabilizer/Elevator and Lagacy/Oriental rudder after it had landed inverted.  ;D

It's a lovely model. If I work very HARD to find something I don't love about it, that
would be the canopy; I've never cared for the pointy nosed ones.

Great job, elegant lines. I'll bet it flies beautifully as well.

well - I guess some of you are right....

the wing is from a Strega - the rest is just stuff I had lying around - the tailplane is off a dreadnought - the canopy off a vector 40, the wingtips I just cut out of block....the fin was a freehand cut -

so it is a bitsa really.....should be a nice airplane to fly once I get it done - aiming for sub 65oz ready to fly - which gives me 16oz to cover and paint - might just sneak in there!!!!!
