First British VTOL

I believe this is the first time I have seen a kit of this aircraft.  The SC.1 Short was the first fixed wing VTOL aircraft tested for the British military.  The aircraft was build in Belfast first taking flight in 1958.  Unfortunately the aircraft never went into production, but lead future designs for VTOL type aircraft.  This new kit from Special Hobby in 1/72 is a mix of plastic and resin.
