Good grief we were only discussing this as we drove back from Glasgow a week last Sunday in some rather iffy weather. I know he told me he had started them last week but i didn't expect all 3 to be completed within a week !!!! :bow:.

Must admit i too like the Drone the best  :thumbsup:

Shouldn't the FRADU one have a light right in the centre of the radome for the Navy gunners to aim at, like their Hunter 11s?  :lol:

fair point Kit LOL. Well it certainly wouldnt be needing the old radar in there now would it?

I have a few more drone ideas knocking around, but more on those as and when I get around to building them ;D

Great stuff Martin ! Love the Lightning trio, but my fave has to be that giant tank thing. I like that, and in fact wouldn't mind building one of my own. Also a big fan of the Vertol. Funny how stuff like that just happens !

It was interesting how many were drawn to the Lightning Drone at the Bolton Show last Sunday. it was eye catching and drew them into to looking at the others more closely  :thumbsup:

Almost done with this one, I just need to acquire a suitable stand for it.



This is the Sharkit Douglas D1186. carrier based (I kid you not!) cruise missile mistel.

Ive been working slowly on this one since June 2014.

It had its first public outing today at the Crewe show. Pity I dropped the bleedin thing as we were packing up!
So its now been repaired and is waiting a little bit of paint touching up to get it back to were it was first thing this morning. On the plus side I located a suitable base/stand for it at the show  :thumbsup:

And seriously awesome it is too!  :o :o :o

Goodness KNOWS how the USN intended to operate something this huge off a carrier, even if it was going to be the largest carrier ever at the time.

Is that a ship or a woman your describing  ;D

The Carrier in question was CV-58 USS United States which was a huge flat top carrier with no Island

It's difficult to believe but the USN Spec. that produced the D1186 design eventually resulted in the Skywarrior!  :o

Looks a LOT better than it did the last time I saw it. The stand really suits it too.  :thumbsup: :bow:
