Really nice. I do like the JP, when I did my Aerospace engineering course we had one to work on - a cool plane.

You've nailed it splash!

Cheers

The canopy glue is still drying and should set clear by tomorrow.

The T1 always looks spindly with its long thin u/c where as the T3 with its shorter u/c looked better.

It looks great Splash. And I'm glad it sits properly on it's wheels after the effort you put in to get some weight in the front 8-)

The canopy has set and a first lick of paint on the window frames, one I have a second coat on I will straighten the lines by scrapping the surplus paint of with a cocktail stick.

I have also run a bead of PVA around the bottom of the canopy to get it to blend in better.

That looks so good. I'll have to dig out my old Alan W Hall article on converting a JP3 to the JP1.

You've done a very good job on what looked like being a bit of a problem early on.

It's looking terrific Splash. More so than later marks, you can really see the JPs piston Provost origins in the Mk.1 and you've captured that very nicely. The choice of colour scheme certainly enhances the similarities.
