Description

The Scimitar was the last fighter produced by Supermarine, and although well-liked by it's pilots, it had a troubled history, and was soon replaced.

It entered service with the Royal Navy in 1957 as a Multi-Role Fighter, but was too large for many of the relatively small carriers in service at the time and landing accidents were common.

The Scimitar was armed with 4 x 30mm cannon and AGM-12 or AIM-9 missiles, or rockets and bombs.

This example is a Scimitar F1 of 764 Naval Air Squadron 1965.

You are doing some lovely work, with the level of detail tastefully chosen to fit the job at hand. I grey up admiring the anonymous artists who did work for the guidebooks published by Salamander, and your work holds up very well next to theirs. Thanks for sharing these with dA.
