My Nikon D70S gave up after  years of truthful service. Think I took some 20-25,000 pictures; also with many pulished.
I replaced it by a Nikon D3300 body, so I still could use my Nikon lenses.

Revell ever had at 1/48 scale a kit of the F-94C. Must have been late fifties/early sixties.
It was re-issued in the late eightes in their Jubilee series.
Also Lindbergh had at this scale an F-94C.
Both were versions with the rocket launchers built in the wing's leading edge.
I must have both kits somewhere deeply hidden in my hobby room but I don't even know if they are complete!

Seems to me nothing more that a twin-engine V-1 (or Fieseler Fi 104) !
Think it will be extremely noisy in flight.

You know I never ask simple questions! And it is NOT the Potez-Heinkel CM-191 or the Fouga Magister.
Keep digging!

I believe the camera portholes of the Wyvern were hardly used and that in practice they were filled and painted over.
You see this on most photographs! If you decide to use these on your model you can use Cristal Clear for the best results.

Here is the real plane in various colour schemes.
It shows the prototype at the Paris Air Show and the German ILA

This kit was already released 20 years ago, but without the extra's!!

This is the only picture I have. I fully agree it is an obscure type!
Number built including prototype was 24 only.
The type never had an Allied code name as its existence was unknown until spring 1945.
Details can be found in:
William Green, Flying boats, Vol 5 of War planes of the second World War, Macdonald 1962.
It is one of the famous 'little square book' series from the sixties!!

I think my pile of images is even larger: I have scanned recently more than 4000 photo's.
Here is one of the many.
