Flying Flatiron - part 4


Here then is the completed Javelin. I added the Firestreak AAMs on which I was unable (as usual) to resist adding red noses. It’s a striking looking thing and it’s shape and size give it great presence.

  1. Looks fantastic and much smarter paintwork than the one behind the hangars at the Yorkshire air museum!

  3. That looks fabulous. The markings and missiles really make it.

  4. Tim,

    Your model of the Javelin looks magnificent! I have a Dinky model from my childhood, and I always thought of it as looking as if the original aircraft had been machined from solid … rather like the good old Buccaneer!

    All the best,

    Bob

    I expect they missed the essential top-coat of Ronseal varnish.

    I’m hoping to unleash it next month. But it will remain available for future bookings.

    I expect the missiles will fall off after a bit of use but they had to be done!

    As it happens I too have a Dinky Javelin - I’d say it’s about 1/200 scale.
