docjojo Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Here is my last assembly. I added the cokpit in resin from Pavla. Always so much pleasure to build the novelties Airfix. Thank you for your remarks or observations. Docjojo 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Very nice, just started on this one myself; hope it looks half as good as yours when it's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNoAF Aerobatic Team Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Just got that kit myself. You have done an outstanding job on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spad Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Cracking job! You don't mention that you dropped the flaps? You seem to have got the "sit" right for the Gnat - I have seen others built from this same kit that sit almost horizontal - is there something particular to look out for to ensure it sits back on it's mains? cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Superb Gnat, the paint finish is flawless, and I like the dropped flaps and the extra work on the ejector seats too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnylurve Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I always thought they wore silver and red. Could be wrong though. Anyways, Stunning build sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 very nice! How did you manage the weathering, it looks like the wings have a very soft brownish tint. Pigments? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank's for you comment, for the sit it's just the kit, maybe the housing of the front wheel which is resin? And actually I cut the flaps to be able to deploy.

VG 33 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi Joël This is a fantastic job you made on this kit. Now the panel lines seem smaller and the aircraft looks better. Congratulations. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
