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 £3.
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)
