Nice one Robert, too tell you the truth, this one is like the sixth one I have seen. Not a much seen aircraft. Thank you for sharing these images ... π .
I want one! I built Emhar's FJ-4 (also a rudimentary kit), and I think it needs this sitting next to it to show lineage!
Nice looking build you got out of the kit.
Just found one on ebay - wish me luck...!
I've built the FJ-4 too.Both are similar to build, You'll have no trouble.
Neat little model there, Robert, is this a recent build?
A couple of years old
