Instead of the usual glorious winning move, or majestic cruise above the clouds, check this one out!

Good grief. What do they have against the Seafire? Even a kamikaze model gets a better pic. Check it out.

Seems reasonable, they didn't have the best record when it came to landing!

Its been a long time since I built a plastic model, I am a bit tempted to order it.

The Sea Fire of course, I liked seeing the images of the parts.
kamikaze? I though a kamikaze was not a specific type, and with the exception of the Ohka aircraft were not built as kamikazes, so the credibility of the model maker there is suspect.

If the illustration is for a deck landing, I think that the ship's navigator needs a map reading refresher...those trees look awfully close!
