1/48 Folland GNAT T.1 - Airfix plus HAL Ajeet (GNAT F.1) Airfix scratch


Recommended Posts

The subject is supposed to be easy, the smallest jet in the world, but it can be made difficult. On the basis of two Airfixes I built a serial T.1 and converted the second one into HAL Ajeet. I used some extras: cockpit and control surfaces from CMK, PE Eduard, whells SBS, pitot Master, decals from Aeropoxy (Ajeet). 
HAL Ajeet - reworked wings with different mechanization and controls (different wingspan and string), reworked fins, reworked intakes with gun, reworked cockpit section with radar, riveting two models
Anyway, the photos show it all, invite

They are both really lovely models. I’m surprised at the Airfix decals - would it be possible to lay the second, spare set,  over the first? The work you put into the Ajeet is amazing - congratulations!

Unfortunately, they do not hide, especially at the top it looks weak. I think I'll cut out the Mask and airbrush white

Spectacular builds, love the schemes in both, but the bare metal and orange is especially striking. Look great next to the vixen and lightning (also spectacular), shows off how small these aircraft were relatively.

Such a pretty model of a beautiful plane! :D Well done indeed! :goodjob:

 

One understands why it was chosen to star in the greatest warmovie ever: Hot Shots! :yahoo:(and you can quote me on that! :winkgrin: )

 

Cheers :bye:
