I know that model mysteries are generally the preserve of Paul at Plastic Warriors, but here is something to get you scratching your heads. It's a 1/72 aircraft which I am building as part of my Little Cold Wars project. You can have 100 points for getting the name of the aircraft and a bonus 50 for the kit manufacturer.
I will turn on comment moderation until Monday to prevent copying!
UPDATE 18/08/14 - it is the Heller kit of the Alpha Jet. There was a clue in the photo above - of 'half a jet.....'

F5 Freedom Fighter
I'm gonna guess an Alpha jet by Airfix.
I'd Hazard a Dornier Alphajet. Could it be Matchbox?
Initial thought was the Airfix Folland Gnat, but it isn't.
It's a fast jet thingy.
Alpha jet- Revell
Hmm, I'll take a (probably wild) guess - 2-seater version of the Northrop F5 Freedom Fighter? (Is that the F5B?)
As to manufacturer, Arifix only did the F5A I think so it's not them. PM models?
Probably hopelessly wrong :)
Alpha Jet?
Looks like an F5E. Not sure of manufacturer. Not Italeri, possibly Airfix.
1/72 Revell Dornier/Dassault Alpha Jet, Kit number 03995.
Re boot of the Heller kit first released in the 1970s.
But I could be wrong...
Matchbox Alpha Jet ?
My guess is an Airfix Alpha Jet.
Hi Tim, tricky one, looks to me like an Alpha Jet from Revell. Always looked like the younger more attractive sister to the BAE Hawk.
All the best
Airhead

5 points for effort - but no cigar!

Call it 125 points- I'm not sure if the Airfix A-J is the same kit as the Heller version.

It could be Matchbox. But it isn't. But you score 100 points!

Pete

Red Cardinal
No - but have 10 points for reminding me that I have an F-5 to build...
Chris Kemp
100 points!
Nigel Drury
Still not an F-5 but have a consolation 10 points
Paul Foster
A brave effort. 100 points but with a 5 point deduction for being a smart-arse!

Heller - so 100 points to you.

It is an Alpha Jet - and I agree that it looks a bit sleeker than the Hawk! 100 points
Blah! I am the master of my own downfall!
That will keep Mr Gow, that will keep :)
Paul Foster
Well you said it...
