Default Perfect Platform for the P20

Took delivery of my little 90 mm viper Jet from Hobby King. I am amazed that this little plane and kit only cost me about £200 delivered. It is wonderfully made and it looks like the wing inside is prepared for retracts. Nice panel lines and rivet marks It is certainly prepared for the nose retract. Unlike the Mig 15 there is loads of space for fuel and all the other kit.

In my view this is much nicer than my Habu 32

She is 47.5 Inches long with a wingspan of 49.5 inches. Just the right size for a P20.

Here are a few pics.

I think I will build this little Gem ahead of the MB339 which is going to be my winter project

Here are some more pics to show the detail. This is one of the best finished little jets I have seen in ages and not too small at all.

I have a big grin on my face

That looks really well finished. Is the red paint pearlescent ( it could be the flash though).

Yes the 90 mm version does indeed have flaps see below. They are split flaps
