That's a LOT of canopy for a little aeroplane!

Robomog · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2025, 06:16:00 AM »

Sure is.

But curiously I have not altered the dimensions of the canopy at all and the fuselage/wings have all been made slightly bigger (half an inch on nose and tail. The width of the tip tanks on the wings), so it should look smaller

.

I can only think that in the high wing original design it's size is hidden by the wings

Definitely a spacious four (or six?)-seater - good family transport

It's actually laid out for three and space for equipment but could easily seat four

Noice . . .
looking forward to seeing your replacement tail feathers. Did you consider using Magister ones ?

cheers,
Robin.

I did, but on this dinky fuselage they looked massive

Hi all

Aaaand as if by magic the tailplanes appeared !!

Closely followed by a cloud of primer

First inspection shows some rough bits on the filler and a few small pits but overall, it's looking good.

Another puff of primer then off to the paint shop.

Not sure of the finished color yet but it will probably be overall yellow as a nod to its previous existence.

Thanks for looking......

That is dead impressive, 'Mog!

But now the poor thing is just crying out to be turned into a jet flying boat

Marvelous concept and kitbash

Look forward to seeing more

Frank3k · « **Reply #34 on:** February 19, 2025, 11:40:57 PM »

It's really coming together now that it's under a coat of primer!

Hi all

Just a little teaser.

The Jet Auster is out of the paint shop, I'm currently deciding on the decals. I'll probably keep it simple, in line with other aircraft of the same era.

The next post will probably be the final article

More when it happens....

Vey nice, reminds of the Miles Student . . .

cheers,

Thanks chaps.

Like the Franken Biplane the Jet Auster is finished

Here's the pics:-

And of course the scale shots with Arthur Brain and a matching yellow Landrover

Like the biplane this was another project that just went together and felt "just right" that includes my first ever attempt at masking a canopy by cutting the masking tape myself. No back story here i just can't think of anything.

As always all comments and criticisms gratefully accepted.

That is a charmer! Really nice colors, and a very nifty look.
