Is it Fanta or an orange Sprite ?

Is it Fanta or an orange Sprite ?

I posted this on another forum but I'm thinking it would appeal to others lurking here.

Excellent and fascinating Les. Wonder what the landing speed of this little beauty was with the delta wing - must have been a potentially hot ship! It's a beauty anyway.

Cheers

Nice work, Les! Is this something you've scratch-built?

Thanks Kev - yes it's a scratchbuild that became a kit back in the '90s and I've been sporadically producing and flogging them on eBay ever since.... these guys are 1/72, but there's something on the horizon that's a bit more your scale.. Image
