Javelin Build
All the runners taking up the whole office floor!
Proper in depth cockpit instructions
Wheel we'll is very detailed
Control panels
Tub before adding seats
Side panels of cockpit
Seats and panels added
Really happy with finish on control panels
Inside with the jet tubes
First full mock up without glue, couldn't resist!
The wheel wells and struts are so well done, very fiddly but look great when done
Flaps up! Again, very well done with great moulding
Can you guess what it is yet?
Blue something missiles with the tips coming from the clear runner for some reason
Good lord I'm rubbish with filler! Seriously though, this is the only bit that needed any work.
First spray of 11 Silver on the bottom. The wheels were already painted so I wrapped them in cling film.
The great spray begins
I like a nice ladder me
Good lode this took ages! Wish me luck chaps, and no ones having my egg if I don't come back!
My high end spray booth/shed
So close to finishing now!
Super in depth stencil data

I am expecting see it finished.One of my favourite RAF aircraft from cold war years. How it goes together? Any snags?

I haven't posted a pic of it cos it's such a tiny flaw, the wings don't join perfectly with the body and will need some filler. I thought it was me but I've seen a guy on Britmodleler with the same problem. Otherwise it's perfect. Really hope I don't screw up the paint. Gonna need a hefty weight in the nose though cos it definitely atail sitter. You got this one too?

I know what you mean, my stash was dwindling but I've brought about six new models this month alone! Enjoy

Building this out of box (as there's no after markets for it yet!) and I'll be using Humbrol acrylics and sprays. Really enjoy cockpits so going to put a lot of effort in there. Not going for historic accuracy though, just making something that looks a bit realistic cos I'm no aircraft buff, I just love making little planes! Any tips and advice will be greatly received.
