Here is my latest completion. Now the question is this a WHIFF or a RW aircraft? The Oscar Fallus is a fictional aircraft from the movie Hot Shots. But the plane in the movie is a Folland Gnat with spurious markings.
So feel free to debate the question. But meanwhile, here are some photos.

This is the new Airfix 1/72 Folland Gnat. It is a nice kit with decent detailing, a good fit, and easy to assemble. The finish is hand brushed Testors enamel Light Ghost Gray with a little pastel chalks for some light weathering. The markings are actually from the kit. A little humor from the folks at Airfix.
I haven't seen the movie but I also picked up this kit because of the decals.
That's a beautiful hand brushed finish! Looks very nice!
Excellent work there Ed, that nose probe is magnificent! :thumbsup:
Is that a kit item or an add-on?

Actually a long probe came with the kit, but somewhere in the build process I lost it. So this is a stretched spruce replacement.
That's come out well Ed :thumbsup:
Needs Cary Elwes with a chafing dish...

Will you be following-on with the EW-5894E Super Fallus?
