About product

Gloster Javelin — Warpaint, volume number 17

A monograph on the British Javelin delta fighter, volume number 17 of the British Warpaint series, by Tony Buttler. It is a printed publication about the aircraft, not a kit and not an accessory for a build. The series is set up so that one volume covers one type from the prototype to the last version — through archive photographs, color profiles and scale drawings.

About the aircraft

The Javelin was the first delta aircraft to reach squadron service with the RAF and at the same time a two-seat all-weather fighter: the pilot in front, the radar operator behind him. It was powered by two Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire engines and its silhouette is unmistakable — a large delta wing and a tailplane set high above the fin. That very combination brought it trouble early on with its behavior at high angles of attack, which had to be settled by changes to the wing. Later versions were given radar and guided missiles, so the type went through a number of marks and offers a modeler more than one finish.

What the volume contains

  • Archive black-and-white photographs of the aircraft in service
  • Color profiles and views with the colors and markings of particular machines
  • Scale drawings of the aircraft in several views
  • A distinction between the individual marks and their armament

Who the volume is for

Above all for modelers who are building a model of this type and are looking for reference on the colors, the markings and the details of a particular machine. Then for aviation historians and collectors of monographs, who will find the series a quick and clear reference handbook to a single type. The text is in English, so a basic command of the language is assumed.

FAQ

The Warpaint series is published in Great Britain and the text is in English. The drawings, profiles and photographs are usable without any knowledge of the language, however, so the book will serve as pictorial reference for building a model even for someone who does not read English.

No. It is a printed publication, that is a book about the aircraft, not a kit and not an accessory for a build. No parts, decals or masks belong with it.

It was the first aircraft with a delta wing to reach squadron service in the RAF. It was a two-seat all-weather fighter in which a radar operator worked alongside the pilot.
