Bjorn Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Plenty of Airfix 1/48 Javelins have been built recently. And there are many more to come. No wonder, this is an amazing kit. So here is another one underway. I thougt that the cockpit was a bit too oversimplified. But when finished, it looks OK to me. I added some cables, but the rest is OOB. Painted with Tamiya NATO black and dry-brushed. Well... The rest is not much to show, you've seen it before, So straight on to painting. Here with a coat of Johnsons Klear: As you can see I didn't use the probe which in my eyes destroys this great aircraft's beautiful shape. The weakest part of the kiit to me are the main wheel wells, which could have had some more detailing. So I added a few cables. That's it for today. Next update will probably be in the RFI section.

Martian Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Nice work on a tremendous kit. I got the Alley Cat set for the red and white trials aircraft which is now at Duxford. All I need to do now is to find ut what the rear cockpit looks like and to save up for a couple of miles of Tamiya masking tape! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I can imagine that. I used Tamiya tape when I masked the camouflage. And I think I have to buy a new one now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
