canberra kid Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm on with building the "new" Airfix 1/48 Gnat but this is one I did a while ago from the still very good Aeroclub kit. John 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stever219 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Beautiful job there John: that pristine finish is spot on. I think the Aeroclb Gnat (and the Jet Provosts) are true classics , exactly what multi-media kits should be. What did you use for your pitot probe please? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcdonnell Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Hello,John - My full compliments to you on a beautiful build of your 'Gnat'. I love the quality and detail of the painting and finishing work.The crisp demarcation of colours and your chosen scheme have made this a fine tribute to the type. I look forward to seeing the new Airfix kit alongside as a comparison. 😉👍 "All The Best" for the New Year! As always, Paul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve, I missed out on the JP, I wish I'd have got one now. The pitot is my favored method, a sewing needle. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
