Here’s another recovery from
July’s box of tricks. The Vindicator served from 1937 and was entertainingly referred to by crews as ‘vibrator’. I’m not sure what make the kit is - I don’t think Airfix made one.
It’s had a full repaint and new decals and now looks - from several feet away - OK.
How it was on arrival!

I think that's actually a vought OS2& Kingfisher. Sans floats. They actually operated them from land, on occasion, with floats replaced by fixed landing gear.

OS2U, I meant.
Very similar airplanes but that very tall canopy does look suspiciously like a Kingfisher's. A useful addition to the fleet nevertheless!

I think you’re right chaps! No sign of floats or attachments so it never occurred to me it might be a Kingfisher. And Airfix did a KF kit so it all suddenly makes sense.
