Title: 1/48 Miles M77 Sparrowjet commenced 09 June 2024
Post by: Boomerang on June 10, 2024, 07:01:22 AM
Have cut out another mystery this time in 1/48.

It may qualify for first gen jets as first flight was 1953. Only one built.
Considering the time it did pretty well on two small engines.

Simplest and easiest set of decals I've ever had to make up yet

Picture to follow when further progressed.

Cheers

Whether to do them on clear or white will come later.(how many shades of white are there).

In between the Canberra, the Vosper and the Sydney I have made some progress.
Tailplane attached and fuselage primed.

The wing and in particular the engines are nearly complete. When I am satisfied with that I will add the dihedral. Undercarriage has been completed.

Pictures to follow when all that is done.

Cheers
