scalemodels_tr Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hello chaps, Decided to stretch my legs and get busy with new techniques and weathering practises, im currently on Elementary Flying Training at RAF Cranwell and part of my daily routine is driving past a Jet Provost sat proudly opposite a Dominie. This got me thinking and of course i went and picked up Airfix's 1/72 JP in 1 FTS markings, I decided to model it after the one here (not in terms of markings or model, the one at Cranwell is a T.5 and im making a T.3 for starters but focusing on the wear and tear) then a friend from instagram sent me pictures of a rather dilapidated JP sat in a farmers field somewhere down south... and suddenly the plan went from a mildly dirty gate guardian to a "my god how have you managed to let it get to this state phil" and a few weeks later here we are at the final stages of weathering and now im debating doing another one but nice and clean because its almost heart breaking seeing such a lovely aircraft with green and brown where there really shouldn't be... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RAZnCrz9wCBXJdXisMPOQKivabRJtY_0/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry1954 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 This looks interesting close up. Do you have any other photos showing the whole aircraft, from further back! Thanks Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veg Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Like the idea of this, I was up at cranwell recently with the Youth and STEM team so know which one you’re on about. im also certain that there is an abandoned one near me in a farmer’s field. Nr market Harborough. great idea for a model. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 This is superb. Please don't feel pressured by our crazy group to build models, though! You've got enough on your hands with learning to be an officer and elementary flight training! Good luck to you, and stay safe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
