I will try to get this one done. I started on the Jaguar build and got stuck on the paint, but that is worked out so this might be a finished product. I do have a question for you and a request too. I have a revell 1/32 scale Tornado, but I sure would like to do the one with the tiger skins all around, anybody have a spare set of decals they didnt use?? Thanks for looking, and I hope to get started SOON!!! Jack aka BUGFAN

Hello Speedy, I see that you are at Boscombe Downe. Appreciate the offer for details on the ETPS Jaguar. Right now I just have one question. On the bottom, between the lower strakes, is there the four antennae, without the largish intakes? I really cant tell from all the photos that I have of the bird. I see a red centerline pylon, a green replacement door, both camo and red tanks, alot of different views of the bottom but I cant tell whats in between the strakes!! Any and all info will be greatly appreciated!!! THANK YOU in advance! Jack aka BUGFAN (pm sent also)

Thanks for the comments. More to follow soon, got all the little changes made to the airframe and the wings installed with the flaps and slats!! Jack aka BUGFAN

THATS IT I QUIT!!!! Now where did I put my knitting needles and rocking chair!!! GREAT WORK, Phil, I cant wait for more! Jack aka BUGFAN

If anyone else wants some, I've cast up a couple of spares while I was doing the last lot, so let me know Uh me too, me too, me too. Thats if the shipping isnt going to kill us! Mike what would a set cost in USD shipped to my side of the pond? Lexington, KY 40383 THANKS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Jack aka BUGFAN

THANKS for the comments gents!! GrahamEM Posted Dec 29 2007, 08:06 PM Nice, how do you cut out the bits for the paragon flaps mini saw ? GrahamEM, I used my trusty x-acto knife for the long lines and this ... for the short edges. It works great, thin lines and easy to keep straight. http://www.umm-usa.com/catalog/tools_JLC.html More to follow shortly, camera battery is deader than a doornail!! Jack aka BUGFAN

A shot at the inspiration!! http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0788612/M/ Heres my start on the Jaguar from empire, I hope to follow Neils great build over on ARC. Neils build can be seen here: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....2&hl=Jaguar I have Paragons conversion set courtesy of NorthAmerican Hobbies, an Airfix Jaguar, and some decals printed for me by Eddy Grantham. First things first, I added the Paragon nose to the Airfix kit, and filled in the blowin doors with plasticcard: Then I cut out the flaps and slats from the kit in preparation for Paragons Flap set: Ive also boxed in the intakes to take away the see thru effects. Paint has been ordered , and work will progress. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking, Jack aka BUGFAN

Looking good Leigh, cant wait to see this one finished. I do have a question for you though, in the prop, white metal I presume, what is your technique for polishing it up?
