Just bought off of E bay, the Testors model, in 1/72 scale, of the Gloster Javelin FAW 1. Were all the Javelin's two seat aircraft was the question? My model comes only with one seat and a pilot figure. I was just curious. Looking forward to building this very attractive British aircraft. Russell

All Javelins were two-seaters. Testors models from that era have never been known for getting details correct. You're lucky there's a seat rather than heads on a plate.

You can tell how accurate it is if you think they've made the Javelin look attractive ...

LOL Sean, but I think that it looks attractive, like a Tornado of its day. I remember one of these flying low over my house many, many years ago. Then, I thought that it was the most awesome thing imaginable, probably due to the noise!
