HansReggelsen Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) So - this my first finished 'lock-down' build! It has overtaken the Cheyenne and the Ju-87 and has been build in 13 days! Troublefree build apart from the decals - which were too stiff - and some self induced problems, which were - more or less easily solved. So without further ado: Let me present the Airfix 1/72 Handley-Page Jetstream C-10A Hope you like it! Cheers - and keep safe apart Hans J Edited April 28, 2020 by HansReggelsen 27 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adey m Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) Wonderful Hans, a classic Airfix Jetstream built as Airfix intended, but the Jetstream variant that never entered service with the USAF as they changed their mind, which left both Handley Page and Airfix with a similar problem, poor sales.. This Jetstream demonstrator did actually appear in an episode of the 1970 television series UFO, it lands at an airfield ( Radlett ), taxies up to the factory buildings, the airstairs open and a group of the earth defence high command disembark to a waiting limousine. They are then ambushed by aliens on their way to earth defence headquarters................... the Jetstream still wears part of the USAF markings in the film. regards, adey Edited April 29, 2020 by adey m 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - I chose to build this OOB, but I think that A Model makes some with the newer engines. Cheers and thanks to you all! Hans J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adey m Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Here you are Hans, a still from that UFO episode. The Jetstream is parked in front of the Handley Page factory. Note part of the USAF markings are still visible. regards, adey Edited April 30, 2020 by adey m 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroplanedriver Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I have about 4,000 "interesting" and occasionally "eventful", but mostly great fun, hours flying Jetstreams. LOVE seeing them in plastic. Would give anything for a nice J31/32 in 1/48. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although thankfully it did achieve good sales success under initially SA and then BAE ownership in the civilian (and some military) sectors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
