I thought the wings and tail came from a failed indigenous Swiss fighter design that Lear bought the rights to and turned into the first biz jet or something more or less along those lines. Hughes modded Lockheed Lodestars into biz planes but nobody on the planet would ever mistake a Lodestar for a Learjet. Did I get all that right? Sometimes I confuse even myself. well, that's where the confusion probably got to my assumption, as somewhere in the past, digging thru some aeronautical information i took it to be Hughes' design to have this Learjet originate, but then ofcourse lateron "brand" names differentiated i assumed. Just like the OH6 helo, called Hughes at first, changed names...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll figure it out Cheers Pete I figure that I’ll solve that problem by building one in 1/3 scale, putting a couple of turbines in it, and then I’m sure I can provide all of the necessary vomit, sweat and fear just prior to it’s maiden.

I've just been through every post on all 6 pages of the thread here for Neil's project, and there's nothing about delays due to family issues. If it's somewhere else on the Internet, then it's not my responsibility to seek that out; that information needs to come to me, and from the source. Anyway, this really isn't the thread to be debating this, and I'm staying with my order because I'm not worried about not receiving it, just frustrated by the lack of communication.

Juggernut Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 This was my charge several years ago. Of course she wasn't painted like this when I had her; she was overall white with a green and a blue conjoined stripe running the length of the fuselage, radome to tail fillet. She was registered as N498JR. Learjet 35A S/N 498. Apparently, she's been converted into a flying ambulance but with the ability to be reconfigured back into a pax cabin.

Out2gtcha Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Lears are just good looking airframes. The 35 is no exception IMHO. Kagemusha and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Apparently the price will be about $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for that price, I think I'll pass unless the kit is extraordinarily detailed and comes with a full civilian Learjet interior as well as the military gadgets. Even in 1/32, a Lear 35A is not that big a jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I'll have to wait and see in price. The Viggen was $192, and much larger than the Lear, so I would expect some interior stuff too if it was for the same price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 It's what Heinz posted on Britmodeller, think he may have pre-ordered one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Not sure how anyone could have preordered the kit since it’s not listed in the pre-order section of the Jetmads website. It’s listed in the shop with a $0 price, and you can add it to the cart, but that’s not how the Jetmads preorders work, in my experience with the Viggen.

Landrotten Highlander Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I had some conversations with the Jetmads team via email, and as I understand it they are seeking to keep the price below $200. As far as I am aware there is no option to pre-order yet as they will only release the pre-order for the Lear AFTER the Viggen kits are produced - which is happening now.

Just re-read his post, he's reserved one, very sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
