JOCKNEY Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I started this kit as a present for a Polish builder who had done a load of work for the Jockney household over the years. Although it's not the most accurate of kits, (so I'm led to believe) it is the one I had in the stash so I need to get it finished. This GB provides the perfect opportunity for that to happen. Pictures below: The strange little container has the canopy in it which despite the good intentions has ended up being found broken when I opened it ! Decals for 3 different aircraft. Good luck everyone cheers Pat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Time for some progress pictures The exhausts on the engine are a complete nightmare and you can just see the carpet monster salivating at the thought of one of them flying out of your tweezers ! cheers Pat 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Tidy work there Pat. Did all the exhausts make it into the engine or was some swearing, opps I mean, scratchbuilding required? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pat, hopefully you can finish this build before any Brexit happens, otherwise you may have to post it to Poland!!! But you still have a few years before this happens, so no pressure. Lovely plane and I confess a weakness for the Pulawsky wing (spelling of Polish names questionable!), so I am happy to follow your build. Great show!

CliffB Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 What excuse did you use for not finishing this build Pat? Another job over-ran? Inclement weather? Your van broke down? Cliff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 Good progress last night I managed to drip paint on the wing, which then removed more paint than planned ! Getting there 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 Forgot the additional blue stripe on the wing, now ready for decals Cheers Pat 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Law Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 That's looking good Pat. I've never seen one of these before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Decided to pop the decals on and finish this one tonight. Except this happened An almost "Novo-esk" explosion of the decal when in contact with either water or decal solution ! The above picture represents about 10 minutes herding loose fragments of decals until I gave up Ive put a note in the wanted section for decals, a betting man would say this is returning for the next KUTA A very grumpy Pat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
