The Firefly had a long post-war career in various second-line roles, and the TT.1 was a target tug conversion of the wartime Fleet Air Arm fighter-reconnaissance aircraft. Sweden's Svensk Flygtjänst operated several as target tugs before replacing them with the more capable Skyraider — which is what got me interested in the type in the first place, one build leading naturally to another.

AZmodel's kit dates from 2001 and the detail is on the coarser side, though this release includes resin and photo-etched cockpit parts which help considerably. The real bonus is that the box comes with decals for one of Svensk Flygtjänst's own aircraft, making it a straight out-of-the-box build. An interesting subject, then, but not the most enjoyable kit to spend time with.
