canberraman Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 A lovely Javelin and your build captures the lines well. Wouldn't it be good though if Airfix would downsize their fantastic 1/48 kit to make a state of the art kit in 1/72nd? Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Thank you - They've already done that to me once recently brinibg out a RN/RAF Phantom in 1/72 just after I started on my elderly Matchbox one. They couldn't be so cruel as to kick me again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qn30jEkPz7 Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 @stevehnz regarding it being a big brute. For comparison next to F-89, Sea Vixen and F-4. The Scorpion has it on span but for sheer heft the Javelin has to win biggest lump 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Great photo, really informative too. I've long been amazed at how compact the Phantom is, I'd thought it to be quite large for ages but seeing one against a Lightning sorted me out on that. Your photo makes it look positively petite.
