That's the first time I've ever seen that one.....and I love it ! Sure looks like it would have made a neat operational bird. Great job !

It looks to me like an Avro Canuck kit would be a good starting point for a scratch build attempt !

For some reason, which I am unable to explain adequately wihtout resorting to waving my arms around and eventually shouting 'It just is!' I'm reminded of Horten flying wings. Possibly something to do with the intakes...

A nift-meister of a build sir!

Lovely job on the NMF finish! I must admit, I was hard pressed to tell if the shots were real or not!

Hobbes · April 07, 2008, 03:51:23 AM

Very nice!

My first thought was "What did you do to that Javelin?", though

nev · April 07, 2008, 11:27:09 AM

Beautiful!

Like Hobbes, I'm thinking it looks like a baby Javelin (they don't grow their T-Tail till they hit puberty

)

QuoteI was hard pressed to tell if the shots were real or not!

Perhaps the greatest compliment any modeller can receive!

Hi There,

As soon as I opened this post I thought "hey I could do a He1080 from that, wonder if it`s 1:48 ?" and not knowing much about post war jets followed your pictures through to the end.
I was extreemly impressed with your results till I got to the last one.
Oh well, looks like I shall have to keep looking at the Airfix 1:48 Buccanneer with the saw in one hand and wondering where to make the first cut.

All jokes aside I really enjoyed that build and Welcome to the Best Lil Whiff House in ~~Texas~~ Anywhere.

regards Gary
