Wowee, I can just see a couple of them climbing away over what is now Jct 13 of the M5 on their way to RAF Benson to be ferried elsewhere in the RAF's world of the time.

Superb job.  :thumbsup:
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! :)

That really is very, very nice!  :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:


But I won't be buying (Sorry!) because it's not my scale & not within my fields of interest.

A brilliant build Stuart, as you say this is where the story starts in creating a supersonic Javelin and to carry a suitable missile to take out soviet supersonic bombers before they can drop ther bombs. You can see why the F155T contenders where the beasts they where and why smaller designs ended up as also-rans.

That is a magnificent model of an impressive-looking beast - well done! :thumbsup:  I hadn't appreciated the size increase over the ordinary Javelin.

I think a lot of Nanas said that! So true as I just spent some time in my work space cleaning up. Lots more to go!

This super Javelin looks fantastic! Your 3D work is superb!

I'm not sure there is enough media to print too many in 1/48 anyway.

Good job sir!   :thumbsup:

I don't like the missile pylons but i'm sure you don't care and that doesn't detract from the awesome job you did.

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

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

It looks great, and that's coming from somebody who doesn't actually like the real aircraft!

Well done. :thumbsup:

I must admit, before I did the FAW.4 I wasn't a javelin fan either. But I gained an appreciation of its actual capabilities during the build.
