From what I can see it entered service in 1953 with 813 squadron. Other wyvern units were 827, 830 & 831. November 1956, 830 & 831 took part in the Suez campaign. Only 830 took part in combat flights, losing 2 aircraft in 79 sorties.Out of interest, are there any details in the kit for the insignia?
AFAIK deck code ‘O’ is HMS Ocean, which according to wikipedia was launched in ‘95.
That's ok. Something else that's I thought was interesting that I've just found out, only 127 were built.Thank you! Very helpful.
Yes, brush painted. I have an airbrush but not used it yet. No room for a booth but one day when I get the cave sorted I may be able to invest and get one. Till then it's hairy brush time.Excellent build paul , as said above not the most beautiful looking aircraft but certainly interesting . Brush painted you say? It looks flawless , great job , cheers tony
Nice build Paul. How was the fit? Anything to look out for...Nice job Paul , certainly had looks only a mother could love. I want one.
Kit went together well. No real issues. A little Mr. Dissolved filler on a couple of seams. Really enjoyed building it. Looking forward to seeing how you get on. I will definitely build another Trumpeter kit.Nice build Paul. How was the fit? Anything to look out for...
And Colin...that's why I got one. Same Trumpeter kit.
Cheers,
Richard
