1/48 Miles M77 Sparrowjet commenced 09 June 2024

[Boomerang]

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.

 Lou,

 Not the Sherpa. There were a couple of other designs around at around the same time utilising
 Small engines.

Cut out.
Decals have been sized but not printed. Dark blue in Roman text on white background.
Whether to do them on clear or white will come later.(how many shades of white are there).

 Cheers
