In 1953 European aircraft manufacturers were invited by NATO to submit aircraft for evaluation for the "LWSF" (Light Weight Strike Fighter) role.  The TAON was designed to meet the requirement.

The Taon was a small mid-wing monoplane with swept wings and tail surfaces and retractable tricycle undercarriage. The company was contracted to build three prototypes, the first aircraft flying on the 26 July 1957.The second aircraft incorporated improvements and had a slightly longer fuselage. Development was discontinued and only two aircraft were built. (Text from Wikipedia).

This kit is short-run. All resin + vacuforme canopy. Decals from Dujin and Carpena.
