1/72 Special Hobby Ajeet en Airfix Gnat

Post by BorgR3mc0 »

I finished these tiny jets. Landing gear was a bit of a hassle. The Airfix kit is designed to have the gear fitted in an early stage. Which I didn’t (who follows instructions anyway?) and that came back to bite me. As a result the gear is a bit off and the wings are not even. But more tinkering would not have made it better. Gnat gear and weapons went on fine.
I painted both pitot tunes with a chrome marker. I am quite happy how that came out.

Sharp looking little Gnat build! The colors came out beautifully! Is that P-51 1/72 as well? I didn't realize that the Gnat was that small of an aircraft.
