About product

Fairey Delta 2 (British Supersonic Aircraft) 1:48 — Dora Wings

An injection-molded plastic kit of the British supersonic research aircraft Fairey Delta 2 in 1:48 scale from Dora Wings. It is a new short-run tooling supplemented with photo-etched parts, masks and decals for the two record-breaking machines (WG774 and WG777).

The real subject

The Fairey Delta 2 (FD.2) was a British supersonic research aircraft with a pronounced delta wing, powered by a Rolls-Royce Avon turbojet. It became famous above all on 10 March 1956, when the pilot Peter Twiss set a new absolute world speed record with it, exceeding 1800 km/h. A characteristic feature was the drooping nose with the cockpit, which improved the view on landing, a concept later used on the Concorde. Two prototypes were built.

Building and painting tips

Dora Wings kits are short-run injection-molded kits, so the parts need mild clean-up and dry-fitting before gluing. Use liquid cement for plastic, and bond the fine photo-etched parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Apply a primer before painting; the slender airframe comes out best in a smooth metal or a bold color scheme laid down with an airbrush, and the enclosed masks help with sharp framing of the glazing.

Who the model is for

  • For lovers of British aviation history and record-breaking aircraft
  • For modelers with experience of short-run kits
  • For collectors of experimental and prototype machines in 1:48 scale

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