My research on the WWW turned up this short video on Youtube - a chap who built a radio controlled Interceptor. It flys in the last few seconds of the video and looks really unstable, but at least it flew.

Chris - I agree, he did well getting it into the air. i am only guessing but I guess that the reason why there is no more vid of it flying is that it flies like a stone and had a hard landing!
but full credit to him for giving it a go.

Finished.
A short but fun project.
It is an old kit and it shows, quite a bit of filling was needed. The other aspect I don't like about the kit is that it has raised panel lines. i admit to not being anything approaching an expert regarding aircraft but I cannot recall seeing aircraft with raised panel lines. I guess that it was easier to make moulds with raise rather then recessed lines.
Together, these resulted in my sanding off all of the panel lines and attempting to re-scribe them, well some of them. I'm not an aircraft modeller so I don't have any guides to help so I only scribed a few, to give an general impression.
the kit ocmes with numerous decals, but strangely the black along the top of the nose has to be hand painted, a decal would have been a lot easier.

Happy days.
Nice one Peter.
I think that the flight model 'had issues'. It looked very unstable when it finally took off. Looked like the whole tail-plane was the control surface. Might have been better with just normal elevators...
Anything will fly if it has enough thrust and lift. Look at the Starfighter. A rocket with wings.Comment
