SimonR Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi all, I did this for the Obsolete GB and I must admit, not sorry to see the back of this, nothing major wrong with the kit, just some fit issues and my general weariness with old kits! Anyway, its done, you never know Father Christmas might bring me the new Airfix 1/48 kit (in my dreams lol!!!!!) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 A smashing Javelin Simon. For its age, and despite the fit problems, it's scrubbed up rather well hasn't it? I still reckon that many of the old Frog kits had the right look and capture the character of the real machines. Their Javelin and Buccaneer are IMHO much more accurate in outline than the Airfix counterparts. An excellent build. Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Not the easiest kit in the world if memory serves correctly, never got very far with mine, probably as it eas being built at bad time. Yours looks very nicely fiinished and shows a lot of older models shine up nicely with a bit of TLC. Like it a lot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonR Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Cheers again guys. Not the easiest kit in the world if memory serves correctly, never got very far with mine, probably as it eas being built at bad time. Yours looks very nicely fiinished and shows a lot of older models shine up nicely with a bit of TLC. Like it a lot No Martin, not the easiest, always struggle a bit with the join on kits that have fuselage split top & bottom and the wings were a poor fit. Anyway its done, thanks again. Simon!!
