One of my very first builds was of a JP here if you are interested and I thought that after a couple of years of building I should be able to do a better job =)
The JP is a jet that I have seen fly on numerous occations but most notably at a "warm up" display at Rufforth airfield near York where it put in a spectacular display to the attendees of a model aircraft show.
I have based this on the T4 JP, XM477 was a real aircraft but was lost in the North Sea (I couldnt find any actual photos of that airframe so I used a sister aircraft for the decoration). I have tried to be as exact as I can for the shape etc. but the exact lines of the different colours just caused me no end of grief so I had to compromise. Same with all the gubbins, the drawings are light on detail so I have used photos that ive taken of JPs over the years to add the accessories in approx the right place.
VTOL down for flaps, TRIM for elevator (including moving trim tabs) rotation about 120kts, takeoff about 140kts.
BIG thanks to Chichiwerx who was kind enough to donate the secret formula for landing gear door synchronisation.

@Megamonster Well imagine that, I didnt even know anyone had mentioned the JP, did you not like this one?
Me: Haven’t seen a Provost round here!

@RamboJutter well... "family friends"...

@MethaManAircraft thanks, I bet you have some interesting stories to tell then.
Great rebuild! funnily enough the Huntings are somewhat family friends!
Beautiful build.
@RamboJutter The nose always stikes me as odd
@ND40X you had me worried there, mine has a wingspan of 10.9m the real one is 10.77m so its within tolerances.
@ND40X oh bollox I forgot to check before publishing...
