AZ Models is in the early stages of producing a 1/48 Fairey Delta-2 [FD-2]

It looks like AZ Models is hoping to have this released in time for Scale Model World 2017 at Telford. A nice touch as the actual aircraft is now housed at RAF Museum Cosford, which is just down the M54.

The Fairey Delta 2 holds the distinction of being the first British aircraft to exceed 1000 mph, flying faster than the sun moves across the sky. On 10 March 1956, it set a new world speed record of 1,132 mph during a test flight. The Delta 2 held the absolute World Air Speed Record for over a year. It continued to be used for test flights, and was allocated to the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in 1958.
