The Fairey Stooge was a surface-to-air missile (SAM) developed in the United Kingdom during World War II. It was the first pilotless, radio-controlled missile in Britain.
The British Army requested the development of the Fairey Stooge in 1944. The Royal Navy took over the project to counter the threat of Kamikaze attacks. Development was not complete by the end of the war. The Ministry of Supply continued funding development and test launches into 1947.
The Fairey Stooge was first presented at the 1947 SBAC show in Radlett. It helped develop more advanced successor missiles.
This unusual little missle is modelled at 1:72 scale and is only about 40mm long. It is supplied as STL files for resin printing with and without support.
