I have finally started my build of the old Airfix (Heller) Gloster Javelin FAW9. I am using ‘Hereward3D’ printed resin parts to correct the major error at the back end. I’ve removed the raised panel lines but I have no intention of scribing replacements. apart from the replacement rear (corrected fuselage plug + correct nozzles + Sapphire 7R turbine faces) I am using the replacement ‘reinforced’ U/C legs (I am using hypodermic needles), the airbrake extended parts and a number of cockpit enhancement parts. Some of the Airwaves etched parts have also been used in the cockpit and I’ve a set of resin main wheels.

Hi, recently I hijacked the Javelin thread by Admiral Puff. Rather than continue to do that I thought it a good idea to start my own thread. why am I progressing my 3D modelling? Well, I have the High Planes resin ‘rear end’ and reheat nozzles aftermarket set and, as many of you know, the nozzles are too big and cannot be angled inwards readily. Using data from ‘the plastic surgeon’ I have used my limited skills to commence the design and creation of a more correct ‘rear end’. I will populate this thread with more information later (I am in the middle of a 24hr build on UAMF atm). thanks for stopping by.
