Airfix 1/72 H.P. Jetstream - Completed build.
Going back to 2022, this is the first kit I built and finished in my new home - Airfix's lovely little 'Vintage Classic' re-release of their Handley Page Jetstream. This aircraft didn't exist as such. In a hope to win a USAF order, H.P. re-engined their Jetstream with American engines and built a prototype. However, just before things got going, and after Airfix had made this tooling, the USAF cancelled the order - so we're basically left with a What-If kit. There were old conversion sets out there to convert this to a model used by yhr RAF and RN but I built this OOB using the lovely kit decals. Paint are a mix of Revel Aqua metallic, Citadel white and odds and sods from Humbrol and Hataka, applied with a brush. Overall I really enjoyed this build - It's a great little kit that went together really well. The fit was good and the decals were fantastic, although, being essentially a What-if, you could put any scheme you fancied. Thanks for looking. Cheers a
