Duncan B 7,701 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Oh very nicely done Sir! I wondered how long it would be before someone had a go at this one and I'm not disappointed at all, you've done a great job of it. Duncan B Link to post Share on other sites

Please can you expand a bit on what you did with the stall warners? I've (briefly) read Alley Cat's instructions but a word from someone who's been there would be greatly appreciated. Hi Stever, I hope this helps. I've not seen Alley Cat's instructions, as I just bought the vortex genny set at Telford. For the stall warner, I just cut off the moulded lumps, drilled 5 small holes, bent some fine gauge wire for the guards (should have been finer, but I thought that fuse wire would not be robust enough in the long term), and used a straight piece for the vane.

TimB 270 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Very nice, looks stunning in that scheme, is this the one at Duxford? gazza l Hi, gazza, yes it is, but I built it as I saw it as a kid at a Leuchars Air Day. Duxford simplified the scheme slightly when they repainted it, but there are some good shots on the Internet of it on arrival and soon after. Regards Tim Link to post Share on other sites

Rick Brown 1,820 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 That's so much more interesting a paint job than the standard camo! I always thought the Javelin looked boring until seeing this. Rick. Link to post Share on other sites

71chally 7,455 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The best A&AEE scheme applied to any aircraft IMO, your Javelin build looks absolutely faultless and really well finished. Link to post Share on other sites
