It’s starting to look like a Javelin now, f-104nut, great work so far, those transfers look very nice.

Well after cleaning up the HPModel Javelin seat and building a mount for it to fit on the square on the cockpit tub I've come to a conclusion the seats are way too small . The seats was barely above the cockpit not looking right and also looking way to small . So after lots of dry fitting i decided to cut the cushion separate from the frame , sanded the sides of the frame off and with some mods to the backside the cushion it fits in the kit seat frame.

Small issue with the Javelin the trailing edge of the lower center tail wing section is a little short shot. Fixed it with some thin pieces of plastic . It was very easy sanding , bleanding and fixing .

The seats look much better this way, Brian @f-104nut
Same is valid for the ailerons.

Excellent work on those seats, Brian.

Great progress, my friend @f-104nut! The Armory wheels look superb!

Fantastic work... very jealous that you've got this one on your bench because I've been after it for a few years and whenever they pop-up here in NZ - which isn't very often - they're ridiculously expensive.

Never used XF-54 for my DSG, I prefer XF 24, but seeing yours I may give it a try. (pic of Revell Hunter from last year using XF-24).

Cheers.

Superb progress, my friend @f-104nut!

Really nice work on the camo, Brian (@f-104nut). Mine never look that neat when I freehand the camo.
