RSK48 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Hi friends; I’m back, after a long absence. Hereunder one of my recent construction, the English Hunting Percival Jet Provost T-52 training aircraft, used by the FAV (Venezuelan Air Force) during the 60-70s: The Provost jet served as an advanced training jet aircraft, by the Venezuelan Air Force. This aircraft, British manufacture, also operated, in several versions in the RAF (British Royal Air Force) from 1955 to 1993. In 1962 it was imported in the T-52 version, by Venezuela. Fifteen aircraft operated as an advanced trainer. Jet Provost has a privileged place in the history of the FAV, since in its useful life it did not have any fatal accident. In 1977 they were taken out of service, being replaced by the North American T-2D Buckeyes. To build this Jet Provost T-52, serial E047, I used FLY model, in 1/48 scale; which I consider to be of very good quality model. I also used acrylic paint from Model Master (Testor), and homemade decals. Some small details are "scratchbuilt". Well it gave me a little bit of problem, but I finally made it.

RSK48 The easiest way is to find the image in your Flickr and simply click on the URL, select all, copy and then paste that URL in to the text in your thread.
