Fairey Flycatcher - Fleet Air Arm Interwar Fighter

The aircraft featured a compact biplane configuration and was powered by the Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar radial engine. Early versions equipped with the Jaguar III engine formed part of the initial production series that helped establish naval aviation fighter capability for the Royal Navy.

For modelers: Interwar naval biplanes often benefit from careful alignment of wing struts and upper wing placement. Painting and finishing the cockpit area before final wing assembly can simplify access to interior details.
