PlaStix Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Hi Iain. What can I say that's not already been said above?! I thoroughly enjoyed your WIP and you have built an absolutely superb Javelin! :worthy: Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(ex)Sgtrafman Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 Stix, Kampartiger, et al Thank you all for your very kind comments, this has been one of those builds that has frustrated, challenged and at times fought me but ultimately it has been great fun. The plane itself has turned out far better than I could've ever hoped for and its only down to the encouragement, guidance and help from the other members of this site that help make the models what they are and its that encouragement , guidance and help that makes you want to try even harder on your next build, to push yourself and improve. Thanks again to everyone here, happy modelling and see you soon Iain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
general melchett Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Great job on the old flat iron Iain, as others point out some lovely subtle weathering going on. Always good to see another Javelin especially when it turns out this nicely... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doozer1974 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm in full agreement with the above comments, that's a stunning looking Javelin! I've got this kit and am planning to do it in the same scheme, so will be referencing your WIP frequently - thanks for posting all the details of what looks like a thoroughly satisfying build! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Can't fault it, (not that I was trying...), excellent model. Just cannot decide between the Sea Vixen and the Javelin, I know I want to build one of them... Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
