In the 1950's The British Model Aircraft Manufacturing Co Ltd. (BMA) released a series of kits for Jetex motors,under the brand Skyleada. The Series consisted of two different sizes of model the JETEX 100's and the smaller Flying Scale Star Series for Jetex 50's. The range covered popular jets of the time. All the models had proper airframes with built-up wings, the formers were shaped where the stringers passed through, which avoided the 'starved' look that models suffered from, the downside being that the fuselage wasn't scale. That's not to say that you wouldn't be pleased with the results though!
Although originally designed for the Jetex 50 & 100 Size motors, they are also capable of flying with a Rapier motor. Click here for a Guide on making a simple motor mount Tube suitable for these models. Each Kit in Both the 100 & Flying Scale Star Series include;
