I've got one of those Mistercraft Javelins too. It's a tad basic and seems to be an FAW7, so could be crosskitted with a FROG/Airfix FAW9 to produce some thing unique.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

The Javelin    :o I bought it for kitbash fodder and even then, I might struggle to get something from it. :dalek:

Astound us!   Get a high quality Javelin out of it!

Maybe, but not by building a Javelin from it. I've got other plans...
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The surface on mine is really rough, but only on the upper surfaces, the lower are quite smooth.  Bizzare.

With Finnish splinter camo Diz ??  👿

Yep. Very simple, but it should look very good and plausible - the ZTQ-15 was designed for forest warfare, so Finnland or Sweden make a lot of sense as operator.  ;D

A day off with SWMBO today led to a trip to pur closest good hobby shop.  An hour from home but also conveniently close to a record shop she wanted to visit.  I treated myself to a splurge.

AMT Naboo Starfighter
Tamiya 1/48 P-47 D

A LOT of paints and supplies. 
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

Revised Sea Vixen wings (spare in the Frog/Novo kit) and Hunter tailplanes.  If you're starting with a Javelin, the intakes would need a slice taking out and I suspect that the forward fuselage would too.  TBH, I'd start with something other than a Javelin, as there'd be very little left by the time you'd be finished.

I don't know what it is with Gloster jets, but they always looked like clunky pieces of junk.
