Tinbanger Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Nice work so far Richard. The "Dog" is one of my all time favourite 50s jets with incredibly beautiful lines. Have you figured out how/if you're going to do the clam shell exhaust nozzle? No D Sabre kit seems to have gotten that detail correct. Cheers, Wolf Thank you Wolf! More research for me to do!

mpk Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Good luck with your first LSP. Personally I am thrilled to find this thread. This exact kit is one I have often thought about while looking whilst pondering purchase, "Am I able to build this thing?" has often popped into my rather vacant brain. I found my answer. No! Cheers Richard. You just saved me $105.50 AUD. I will be following with great interest. Hey Airfixer, what did the pilot usually have for breakfast who flew AC # 2? (You know, I wouldn't be surprised if he has the answer. ) Simply amazing. Every time I visit this bloody place I get a free lesson.

Guest Peterpools Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Richard Terrific work on the Dog and the engine cart has caught my eye as well. while I'm a big fan of Sabres, the F11F1F Tiger is my all time favorite 50's jet. Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Erik. Do you have any information/ photos of the clam shell details? Richard. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Airfixer Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Richard, I'll try to dig out some more (and better) pictures later. Buried deep inside my bookshelf I've got a printed copy of a J47-GE-17/-17B maintenance & replacement manual.
