thepureness Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Hi everyone. I present to you my most recent finished kit. The Airfix 1/48 Javelin. With the base kit, I used aftermarket metal pitot tubes by master and Eduard etched interior. Kit was painted with Tamiya XF-81 RAF dark green and XF-54 dark sea grey for the camo and X-11 chrome silver for the undersides. X-22 to gloss and sealed in with X-35 semi gloss to give it a newer look, I wanted a relatively clean looking aircraft. The kit went together like a dream and the only issue I had with fit was the forward undercarriage doors but that was a simple fix. I started the kit on 15th of September and finished today 10th of October, so this went together quick. Please give me your thoughts, good or bad 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertie Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 What a beauty-awesome work you've done "the pureness" the only negative I can think of is that I couldn't do as good as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freemodeller Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 It is such a excellent model. This bring back my memory when I did my NS in Seletar Air base 1972, there is one beautiful Javelin park at the end of the runway use for fire fighting training.

Tango 1 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think it's great! I like the camo demarcation, it looks just right! The finish and weathering you have applied to get the used but clean look is realistic. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Seriously good. To me the 64 Sq scheme on an FAW.9 is the archetypal Javelin. You've finished this one to perfection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
