Appreciate your comments Alistair - looks very good. You must be pleased 🙂 -
No rush - even mine are sitting in the stash for now. Mind you, my spare Paragon T2 conversion also keeps catching my eye

Not sure TBH. Can't see if from my office now :

Glad you caught it in time !

I'm curious about waht is going on with your head shielding. Normally you have the inconel 'V' shields then a stainless one bolted and wrapped around the underside of the brake para bay, before the noddy cap. Yours appears light aircraft grey with a gap ? ( should be bright stainless )

Tend to agree with above, but in true Jag Force tradition am currently out on the beer so not able to check

AND if I want to get really anorak, there were a couple of GR wings that went on T birds - look here and you can see the 'blank' angles the strips attached to : https://forum.dcs.world/uploads/monthly_2024_04/1640657433_31-hdpic-club-p-istrebitel-yaguar-foto-48.jpg.aa64f736f7e9cfde95b496c008da96a6.jpg

Indeed it is - obviously not my photo, but I did 4 1/2 years there
-
If you look here https://www.airhistory.net/photos/0094175.jpg the cover is off - note at the rear ( above the hyd connection point and at the top of the fuselage) you can see the rear bonding strip - this is 'internal' once the wing goes on so doesn't need a cover
-
Answered somewhere else, but those strips cover a mesh bonding strip on all GR's linking wing and fuselage. Something to do with the di-electric No1 panel as T birds never had them. However, one thing the question has made me think about, the wings did grow an inreasing size reinforcing plate under the rear spar - from memory MODs 889, 1040, 1376. You'd not see 889 as it was fuselage width, but the others you would

It covers the wing to fuselage bonding mesh strip. All GR's had it from the start
