Fairey Damselfly Mk.I by gnomemeansgnome

From Apollo and Soyuz, to Gerry Anderson, Irwin Allen, Star Wars and Trek to Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica and those strange, doe-eyed Japanese school girls...to any model kits you can think of, that only exists in imagination.

Wherever there's danger, wherever there's trouble, wherever there's important work to be done....I'll be somewhere else building a model!

I missed this- very interesting, although probably needs something to prevent gunner from blasting the blades.

The early Ciervas were based on an Avro 504 fuselage.

I think all the gunner would have had available to them was a steady hand! I saw an AVRO 504 autogyro in early Red Air Force kit no less at a local IPMS show years ago, so yes am familiar with that setup. As the Seafox was a bit of a turkey my build was a notion to repurpose the airframes.
