Now this has got to be of interest to us lot: a 1/72nd scale model of the German VJ101C supersonic VTOL project:

You're not kidding.  :thumbsup:

Well spotted H.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards

Sheer luck - I was looking through Model Hobbies HaT figures list for rubber boats for Fred and it just popped up in the side bar. :thumbsup:

experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Go wild, go for the air guard components of the Andorran, San Marino ,Monaco, Liechtenstein and Maltese police forces...........or any  place too small to have proper runways

It's not bad as a kit about the part for Ukraine limited Production, fine panel lines, lots of detail but some of the smaller details such as wheels engine fans are a bit soft and not as crisp as some mainstream kits.

The side of the box shows a VAK 191 as the next kit to be followed by the JC-101C X1 as opposed to the X-2.

Now the Vak-191 will have lots of potential as a West German Harrier type. However will we get the Dornier Do-31 which would complete the trio and give us yet more options to explore.

Would look good sitting next to a F-109/F3L-1.
