Love to know where to get any crew for this beastie. Absolutely nothing close in 1/35 for IJA crew or even soldiers??? Steve,

This is probably the best source on this topic Roger Boniface, MiGs Over North Vietnam: The Vietnamese People's Air Force in Combat 1965-1975 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1902109058/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=&psc=1 The color references and research are pretty good & it dispels many myths about the Kill claims from both sides. IT also has some very nice color plates & photography. HTH Steve

Airfix 2024 Mystery release..>Could it be a 1.48 Jaguar??
Corvi replied to Corvi's topic in The Rumourmonger
Fruitful debate!! Huzzah! Now we will see..... So I am at the crossroad dilemma of my ESCI 1/48 Jaguar Gulf War boxing that was a no cost item. Do I wait for the Maybe 1/48 Airfix new tool, Build the Heller-Airfix when it hits th shelves this year OR_________________________________ ---QUESTION-How bad would it be to build the ESCI kit with some AM-Airwaves for the cockpit , also a pilot figure {this will be an in-flight display] , resin exhaust from Res-Kit, Master pitot set. If I button everything up will it be decent build or is the shape that horrible??? Steve, -

OK Pulled the trigger on the Revell GR.4 in 1/48 It does look rather nice. Will do the Kits World decals and substitute the N for some black ones in my spares! Now to get seats or am I am going to put some blokes in there!!! This maybe a nice inflight display?? It does avoids extensive wheel well work or resin seats. ?? Steve -
OK I have been doing some research online and it seems to be a toss up between the Italeri and the newer tooled Revell kit. I am leaning towards the Revell kit GR.4? What is everyone's opinion on building a 1/48 Gulf War Tornado? Best kit to start?? Also Stores for the kit...Best bet??? Resin or are the Revell or Italeri passable?? Also any comments on the Kit World decals https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW148126?result-token=hmNf1 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW148132?result-token=hmNf1 BTW_--The Hobbyboss kits seems to have too many boo-boos to fix and not worth comparison?? Steve,

YES a new tool Jaguar is well needed! It seems ALL 1/48 kits of the Jag have issues and problems. The Kittyhawk kit suppose to be the best BUT with many caveats--modular tooling with difficult fit, some inaccurate elements-problems if one wants a very accurate GR.1 -Gulf war. The Old ESCI kit is lambasted BUT I have one. IT is a basic kit and fits well...with a few inaccuracies. IT has raided panel lines but I kinda like it ..IT can be built into something decent--albeit not the most accurate. The Airfix-Heller is good I suppose--with a few fit issues and needs detail and upgrade sets..... SO it really is a matter of what is important when getting this kit in 1/48. A new tooled 1/48 Jaguar series FROM Kinetic would be much welcomed!! Steve,
