The Zeta-Jet is taking shape after truncating the rear (to be discarded) and the fin (moved ahead): <_<

I habe started to add puty on this little model, mainly for the rear (that will be twin jet as 2 black circles), the wing will be low (and short span, sorry PR19_Kit :-\ ): <_<

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Thanks!

This kit basis was the German (sharp nose) version of the Alpha-Jet, and the German engineers asked "why Z for zeta, Z means Zwilling, will we make a Zwilling Zeta-Jet?": <_<
