And now it's time for the nose job. It will be based on the remains of an old Frog Hawker Hunter F.1, which ended as toy for my son a long time ago.

Interesting development! I am curious  to see how it will look completed and painted.

Now the Javelin have got its tail. The Javelin was a huge fighter plane. But quite maneuverable. As a child I saw four put up a show over Værløse AB (North of Copenhagen). Their end stunt was to dive straight on the audience and passing just a few meters over our heads. One plane even had to sway to avoid hitting a hangar. Air shows were really something in those days!

[PR19_Kit]

Yes indeed, and a Flatiron passing close overhead moves a LOT of air!

That's looking VERY good indeed, most impressive.

Now the paint is on. The paintjob is inspired by the colour of the E.E. Canberra prototype, which was painted in "Petter Blue", Named after English Electrics chief designer - W. E. W. Petter. Legend is, that Petter was so fond of the colour, that he had his own MG sports car painted in it

[Pellson]

Oooh, it's pretty! 

[Old Wombat]

That looks better!

Decals on

[NARSES2]
