Nicely done. I remember that kit from the late 1950's, and I think it was from Frog originally. Here's the real thing, preserved at the RAF Museum, Cosford, UK.

Yep, that's Karl, looking around to see if anyone's watching, as he figures out how to get the Gnat fighter, out of shot, right, out of the hangar without being seen ..............
Much thanks folks. This was a kit that needed a lot of loving when it was handed to me in a zip-lock bag. The whole front fuselage and cockpit needed to be overhauled with a new canopy, cockpit, fuselage joint, pitot tube and nose landing gear.
There was big gash in the upper fuselage which I think was melted and needed patching up. Decals were also from scratch.
Hope I did justice to this amazing aircraft that led to delta wing research for the Mirage and eventually the Concorde.
