One third scale test glider for proposed light tank transport. Project was started in 1943 and though not used, was tested extensively to gain data about tailless aircraft. Last noted behind a hanger at Croydon Airport in 1958.

The decals look really good but are very stiff and don't soften up and conform as well as I would like. I lost a small bit of the port roundel and the long thin black walkway next to the cockpit, stuck out of place at one end, and I broke it trying to move it. Had to brush flat black to replace it so it isn't the crisp rectangle it should be. Lost one of the rudder balances and that is the total deducted points.

Heck I thought it was a German kite and was captured. Shows how little I know.
