OK here we go,my first pic post on site!!!
Please comment,Good/bad or otherwise!!!
"What If" the RAF had chosen the Saab 105 instead of the Jet Provost T4/5 ?
It could have been built in the UK by Hawker Siddeley.
Kit is the Marivox 105 with mixed decals.Built during the weekend.
So what do you think ??

Ordinarily I would say black or silver might be less distracting for the canopy but since you have black and silver right up to the canopy I'd say blue is a good choice  ;D  Looks pretty cool to me :)

Thanks for views guys.I did consider a black canopy but it would have blended with the anti dazzle so blue it had to be.The kit was a pig,but Im quite pleased with the look.
Maybe I,ll put a few other pics of other things on and see what you think.

Looks good. I've been working on one of these and I agree that it's a pig of a kit. Not an easy build.  Your's turned out pretty good.  I'm just about ready to start painting mine.  It will be a real a/c not a whiff.

Welcome to the madhouse.

We don't just embrace insanity here.  We feel it up, french kiss it and then buy it a drink.

Thank you.
The 105 was so bad at one point it nearly hit the bin!!
But keep at it as it is an unusal type.

Will die without understanding this world.

Really nice - much punchier than the constant thrust, variable noise Jet Provost! ;D ;D
