I'd never heard of this plane before - but it's kinda sexy looking ;)

Yes, what Barry and Maurice said! That was a faily large aircraft if I remember correctly, sort of in the Martin AM-1 Mauler class. Hmmm...a Mauler would be a nice one to add to your list! :)

Nobi --

I hope this means that ThaiPaperWork will be offering the Firebrand as a model soon. The post-WWII U.S. and British naval strike aircraft, like the Firebrand and Martin Mauler, are fascinating, even if some of them flew like battleships.

Diels Engineering offers a peanut scale stick-and-tissue plan (http://pageproducer.acninc.net/dielsengr/PeanutPlans.html scroll down to Plan 13), so there is scope for some synergy: a flying model based on the Diels plan and ThaiPaperWork graphics (Chip Fyn provides stick-and-tissue plans with a couple of his airplanes to encourage such "cross-cultural" models).

By the way, your Fairey Firefly in RTAF livery is beautiful, but is there any chance of an alternate version in Fleet Air Arm slate grey and sky?

That's good news, NOBI -- I look forward to the Firebrand and to providing a Fleet Air Arm Firefly stablemate to my RTAF Firefly. Don B

NOBI -- You probably saw the wonderful "Flight" magazine website that George posted in another thread. It contains a cutaway of the Firebrand: http://www.flightglobal.com/imagearchive/Image.aspx?GalleryName=Cutaways/Military%20Aviation/Military%20Aviation%201903-1945&Image=Fairey-Firebrand-IV

Why worry NOBI 9 pages can be printed on any old tat.

Tarawa runs to an A4 page per former

Looks good mate
