Bloodhound Gang
Today I finally received the Airfix Bristol Bloodhound model I won on EBay a month and a half ago (it did have to come surface mail from the States). I don't know where this fits into the to-do pile of kits, but thought some reference photos were required.

The APMA has this page and some pictures of completed versions of the kit, and other Bristol aircraft, on this page.

A shot from the Transport Archive of a Bloodhound on the Woomera proving grounds. It might be worth trying to reproduce the circular base it's mounted on- they're shown on the box art as well.

Another picture of a preserved Bloodhound.

Two Bloodhounds and lots of other aircraft on this page.

It's not a UFO
It's the Haunebu II, a giant German flying saucer available as a model from Unicraft. The production run is limited to about 20 copies, as many as it takes for the moulds to become unuseable, and it's never going to be available again.
