Unicraft Super V1 (with Nuclear Warhead)
Review
The kit comes in a small box with cover art that envisages the possibilities for this weapon.
Inside there are only 7 pieces of brittle resin. The panel lines on the fuselage are crude and getting them to line up is difficult.
In the end I glued the 2 pieces together and filled the substantial gaps with filler. The same was done for the rocket motor.
I used some thin plasticard strips to accentuate the collar shown on the front end of the fuselage.
The wings required careful positioning and filling of the join.
I had to replace the rudder, as mine was very poorly cast, and add the pointy bit at the front

Conclusion
The box says these are resin kits for experienced modellers. They are not kidding. This was a simple kit which required quite a bit more work than I expected.
Still, it is an unusual addition to the Museums collection.
