Taylor JT-2 - Modified Amodel 1/72nd kit

 

Here is the second of the Taylor designs released by Amodel in the same boxing with the JT-1, the Taylor JT-2

A common thread for the building of these two kits is here:

And the completed sister kit JT-1 can be seen here:

The JT-2 kit was modified to represent an even peppier version of the updated design with longer wheel pants, a higher aft fuselage deck and a different canopy, plus the addition of registration decals from a special Arctic Decals sheet, and again the replacement of the exhausts and addition of control horns and cables, plus reshaping and narrowing the carb intake. The model is really small, and no doubt a challenge for my dwindling eyesight.

  4. Sorry for late response I was busy looking for a teeny tiny aeroplane(airplane). I am so impressed by the teeny tiny engine used for those flying shots. Is it fossil fuel powered or electric?
