This was an eBay bargain from some time ago when I had just started modelling again and was beginning to build up a stash, never been much of a Jet person and don't know much about them but I saw this which, if memory serves, ended with a total inc P&P of about ยฃ3.
The name on the box is 'Hobby model kits', much googling has revealed nothing whatsoever.
It's almost snap together kit basic, but does have the right shape and is a glue assemble model kit, the parts are on 2 sprues and the instructions are laughably simplistic, anyhow, i've been looking at this sitting on the pile for a while now and having recently finished the Typhoon and Hurricane and waiting for the last few bits of the bike i'm doing to be ready I thought, stuff it, it'll be a quick one.
Heres some shots of the box, instructions and model, assembled, filled, (there were some cavernous gaps), primed and (first time), pre-shaded.
I'd guess at the scale as about 1/100? theres a pic next to a 1/72 Typhoon which i'd imagine would be shorter and the fuselage lengths are close hence my guesstimate, (this is again due to the distinct lack of a scale on the box.
Not being remotely familiar with jets does anyone know a good shade of grey to paint this?, most google pics show them grey, one or two with a camo scheme but i'm going basic, i'm not bothered about absolute shade accuracy just a Light / Mid / Dark idea will do, i have a few Tamiya greys to go for in the paint drawer.
Any info on the kit would be appreciated too if anyones ever come across them somewhere? (Poundland?
, maybe)
