Title: First Generation Jet Cook Up
Post by: lastvautour on August 03, 2020, 06:59:11 PM
Anybody up for an early jet cook up? Aircraft can be any scale but must be listed in the First Generation Jets as defined by Wikipedia.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-generation_jet_fighter

We need a minimum of one more builder.


Lou

PS 11/16/2020 A clarification on which aircraft qualify. Jet bombers are not listed on Wikipedia, however a look at the fighters listed reveal they all entered wide spread service prior to 1955. In future all jets regardless of function may be included as long at they fall into the aforementioned category.

Sure..why not😋 is there a completion date? As I am not the fastest builder ( or maybe a large project list...)

Farser, our cook ups have no ending dates. You can join any cook up as you see fit.

Gordon, your impending Avon Sabre would fit nicely.

My Sea Hawk has the wings are rough cut and the fuselage is close to contour shaping.

The Vautour IIA is painted in Israeli Air Force (IAF) colours circa 1959. First flown in 1950, the IIA version did not gain much favour with the French  Armée de l'Air. However the Vautour IIA gave good service the the IAF where is was used in ground attack roll with a degree of success.

Post by: Boomerang on January 22, 2022, 11:28:43 PM

I have cut something out that has been done previously but I have always liked it and I have a store bought canopy that I need to use.

I'll stick something up as it progresses further.

Cheers

Gordon
Title: Re: First Generation Jet Cook Up
Post by: lastvautour on January 22, 2022, 11:45:16 PM
In the overall scheme of things vacuum form canopies are fairly cheap.  I friend of mine ordered a 1/48 Hurricane canopy and found that the best price was from Australia. His cost was around $9.00 CDN.

Lou
Title: Re: First Generation Jet Cook Up
Post by: Boomerang on January 23, 2022, 06:03:08 AM

I picked up an assorted batch for 3 bucks a few years ago . The Blenheim canopy was the first one used.
