About product

Fairey Delta FD.2 1:72 (Dora Wings)

Injection-molded plastic kit of the British experimental record-breaking aircraft Fairey Delta FD.2 in 1:72 scale from Dora Wings. It is a modern short-run tooling with fine engraved detail; the package contains plastic parts, photo-etched parts, masking film and decals for several marking variants. Its unusual delta makes it a striking item in a collection of postwar aircraft.

The real subject

The Fairey Delta 2 (FD.2) was a British experimental supersonic aircraft of the mid-1950s with a pronounced delta wing and a drooping forward fuselage for a better view on landing. In 1956 the pilot Peter Twiss was the first to exceed 1000 miles per hour in it and set a new absolute speed record. What was learned from its development later contributed to the concept of the delta aircraft that followed.

Building and painting tips

Short-run toolings call for more careful preparation: try the parts dry, clean up the casting remains and count on a little filling of the seams. Use liquid cement for plastic and finish the cockpit before closing up the fuselage; glue the photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate glue. Mask the glazing and put the paints on with an airbrush over a primer. Apply the decals carefully onto a gloss coat. A clean, smooth surface without exaggerated wear suits a delta machine.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of British experimental and record-breaking aircraft in 1:72
  • Fans of the postwar development of supersonic and delta aircraft
  • More experienced modelers who are at home with a short-run tooling
  • Anyone interested in an unusual, striking subject for the display case

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It was a British experimental supersonic aircraft with a pronounced delta wing. In 1956 the pilot Peter Twiss was the first to exceed 1000 miles per hour in it and set a new speed record.

It is a short-run tooling, which calls for more careful cleaning up of the parts and a little filling. We therefore recommend it rather to more experienced modelers.

Besides the plastic parts the package contains photo-etched parts, masking film and decals for several marking variants.
