This is a Westland
Wyvern S.4. The model is out of the box. The model depicts a Wyvern which took
part in The Suez Crisis in 1956.

Overall fit was ok. In some
areas the model required some sanding and dryfitting. Building a machine from
Suez Crisis you must have on mind that's not a prototype from which
Trumpeter have taken some features - i.e. folding wingtips. You must also
make some corrections in paint scheme Trumpeter provided. The biggest is
the colour of the part just behind the propellers - it should be sky as in
my model.
I recommend this
model to modellers who have some experience because of lots of parts and
some problems with fit. The model is well detailed and in the box we get some photo
etched parts and parts to build props counter-spinning which is a very nice
feature in the model if built properly. Less experienced modellers will look
more profesional when the kit is finished.
