The Supermarine Swift PR6, simple conversion from the Airfix FR5. Recent information suggests the PR6 would not have had extended wings , so the only modifications are to delete the cannon ports and add the belly camera ports and wing tanks.

WHAT??? That's heresy!  :wacko:

Your model, on the other hand, is gorgeous, specially in that scheme.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I wondered how long it would take you to notice Andrews comment lol
I always hope for the best.

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

That is rather nice.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Beautiful! Haven't started on mine yet, might do it OOB first and then grab another for whiffing.
