They are the closest thing to it, though

Not to worry, Paul; 23381 was a early Mk6 therefore it was delivered with the wing fence. It received the slatted leading edge later in life. Nice work !! Tony

Thats why we're lucky in 1/144, we just have to shorten a -44J and slap on a Britannia nose for a Yukon, or just buy a welsh Yukon kit.

The Fujimi airbrakes have their own problem; they are SQUARE shaped, so are the wells. Pavla to the rescue again !!!!! Tony

I have the Pavla details for the speedbrakes, but on my last build, I just disregarded the difference and built them OOB but cut the lower mount arm to give them a proper droop. I pick my battles, speedbrake well details is way down the list.

If it were I, I would be shortening a J rather than extending a Britannia. or swapping a cockpit section between the two.

What scale? Welsh made a 1/144 CL44J I measured the differences between the Welsh Britannia and the Welsh CL-44J in front of the wing the difference is 35mm; behind the wing the difference is 22mm this may have helped, maybe (now to find the differences between a CL-44D and a J Tony

Andre, you are in luck, I have a second sheet of the 1/72 Cutting Edge Skyblazer decals. PM me with your address is you want it Tony

Yes, you could use the Airfix F-86 as a 'Skyblazer'. It has the correct 6-3 hard edge wing. Tony

The headrest on the seat is mounted by TWO rods, not one. FYI. Tony

When the airbrakes are closed, they lock and the switch is set to neutral, so there isn’t any pressure along lines that are close to the exhaust pipe. There is a neutral setting on the air brake switch. Cheers, Tony

In that above graphic, see under Left Wing & Leading Edge, the pilot is to ensure the Gear Door switch is in the correct position. Tony

I did,concerning the gear doors,(the OPs original question) also the speedbrakes are selected out or in at shutdown and do not bleed. Tony

Sanguin, be wary of the ‘duff gen’ given off around here. Cheers, Tony

Negative, a big negative !
