I've built a thing. I started this a while ago, then, breaking all my rules of modelling, the 'One thing at a time on the bench ' rule, I got distracted by two group builds and a new tool Airfix Bulldog. But anyway, here I am, finished.
The Airfix 1:48 Gloster Javelin. A very nice kit. There's a small, but well publicised problem getting the cockpit onto the fuselage, just a slight alignment thing to deal with, but certainly no deal breaker.
The nice thing about building something so modern is there are quite a few photo's on the web, some show these aircraft becoming quite faded and worn out in the heat of the sun in the far east, however, I kept this one clean.
It turns out this was Gloster's last production aircraft, whilst being the RAF's first missile armed jet interceptor.
If you fancy a nice big 1:48 Javelin, go for it, it's a good kit.
