Lancfan's Yellowjack Gnat. Finished.

From 1 April 1918, to present, celebrating anything RAF -- land, sea, air, person -- any kit, any scale, not whiffs. This GB incorporates the 617 Sqn/Opn Chastise 75th GB. Originally a 3 month GB, it is now super-extended through the rest of 2018. Part started kits will also be allowed to join.
Your host is Stuart, ably assisted by ShaunW, dwomby, lancfan, and jRatz.

Degrees per minute? Per second, shurely? :roll: Otherwise, there's not much that's phenomenal about a 9 deg/sec roll rate -- other than it would appear to indicate that the ailerons are incredibly stiff? ;-)

Finished, It does look good but it put up a fight in places and on reflection I think I prefer the Matchbox Gnat over this kit.

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Looks great, David and certainly the Yellowjacks scheme could never be accused of being shy and retiring!
