Didn't Gary Newman the singer have one like that?

Yes and he was active in the airshow circuit.

It looks very buildable too! Nice find.

The Harvard has been posing as all kind aircrafts over the years.
So potential for whole collection here.

The NA-68 is not a Harvard.

I saw him a few times at several displays.  He's actually qualified to teach aerobatics.
I used the Heller kit many years back to do Numan's aircraft for a friend of mine who's a fan.

Just saw this posted on the "Cancelled Aircraft's Post" facebook page. Looks very nice. And this is the sort of thing we need in model form, to keep real history alive, not a bunch of 'napkinwaffe' slop.[\rant]

Renard R.38, a Belgian fighter that was unfortunately developed too late, it was flown to France for safety, but captured and destroyed by the advancing Germans.

Info from belgian-wings.be/renard-r-38 :

Immediately prior to World War II the Belgian designer Alfred Renard produced several prototype versions of an very promising fighter such as the 910 hp Hispano-Suiza "Canon" 12 Ycrs 21 powered R.36, the 1050 hp Gnome et Rhône 14N21 radial engine powered R.37 and finally the R.38. This sleek fighter �powered by a 1.050 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin II engine (giving it a maximum speed of 545 km/h at altitude) was definitely of the same category as the Supermarine Spitfire or Hawker Hurricane. It was also the only one of the Renard prototypes fighters to have worn Belgian roundels. (thus fitting our overview). On the request of the French authorities an improved version designated R.40 was being constructed when the Germans invaded Belgium. This version which was also powered by a RR Merlin was equipped with a unique pressurised and releasable cockpit. Unfortunately no Belgian series production was ordered for the very promising R.38 before the German invasion of Belgium. Wearing Belgian military roundels together with the civilian registration OO-ATK the Renard R-38 was extensively tested by Sabca chief-test pilot Burniat.

There was a resin kit of this aircraft, or one very like it.  Think it was Czech Omega, pretty rough and ready. It's in my box of odd single seat fighters.  It was likely done by Dujin too, he did a lot of mice one off things over the years.

Looks like a high-speed Hurricane. Pretty aircraft!

Indeed, and I've built  it, but can I find a photo of it
