Does anyone make that minijet? That's a really cool model!

The landing gear must be like spiders legs on deployment :) but yes cool. |

Hmmm, sounds like there is an African connection to L'tumNe (Lots of IJA and Italian surplus used) |

I'm not aware of any commercial model although there are a few scratch-built ones out there. The landing gear is located in the engine pod…
The entire pod can be jettisoned in case of engine failure…
The jet then becomes a glider. Landing is made possible with a parachute fired from under the dorsal air brake…

Fun Fact: Roger Leloup (Yoko Tsuno author/illustrator) used to work for Hergé (Tintin) and designed/drew the Carreidas 160 staring in Flight 714!
