Tony Adams Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Last night I completed Airfix Javelin (at around 1:30 am) , it was a massive rush but it is ready to grace the Romsey Modellers table at Telford this weekend. It's a great kit and I thoroughly enjoyed the build ( apart from the last few days which have been a bit frantic ). Build OOB apart from a set of Eduard Canberra seatbelts ( which are pretty close to the MB Mk 2 seat, and look much better than I could have achieved with foil) 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismac60 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hi Tony Cracking build! But shouldn’t the FOD and exhaust guards be port and starboard, rather than both labelled as port? Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Someone must have got them mixed up - there'll be another one somewhere with two starboard ones... Lovely build, look forward to seeing it in the "plastic" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri48 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 A superb looking Middleton-ST-George, Javelin. Used to watch these fly from my school playground and at "Battle of Britain Day"... Excellent job! Definitely one for the future.. http://www.nelsam.org.uk/NEAR/Events/BoBatHome/MSGBoB61.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Very nice job indeed , Built the Dynervector vac a few years ago and allways wondered if there would ever be a mainstream kit of the Javelin in 48th. Looks like Airfix have answered my prayers and come up with another beauty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Adams Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Interesting question about the FOD and exhaust guards, they all say port top, there are supposed to be stencils on the bottom but I managed to loose them ( the guards being the last thing I did, I think they said port bottom. So I think in this case port means "hole" but I can't be sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Very nice indeed,.....I`m doing mine as the very same aircraft but after it became the CO`s aircraft on 5 Sqn following the disbandment of 33 Sqn and its transfer to Germany to become the `new' 5 Sqn! I`ll look forward to seeing it at Telford, Cheers Tony O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goon Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Lovely work. I've been telling myself I can't get on of these until I've depleted the stash a little, but builds like this are testing my will power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Oh yes of course its XH903 which became part of 5 Sqn later... I've already decided which 5 Sqn aircraft I'll be building but I don't have my notes to hand in the office, but I don't think it was this one. I'm goign to start it probably in the New Year.

Liney Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Really nice Tony. The intake and exhaust blanks are great! I'm slowly getting back to modelling after an entire adult life without it and build 1:72...but this build REALLY makes me want to put the Javelin on my list! BTW, great display from Romsey Modellers at the weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
