llking Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 been working on the cockpit and front wheel bay. I'm really disappointed in the kit, it lacks detail in the cockpit, even with the PE it don't help, and as for a paint guide in the instructions( they call for the wheel wells to be interior green instead of yellow-green) it is almost non-existant so reference photos are a most have.

trickyrich Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 OOOPPPs I thought it had already started. OH well it's a good thing that I got disgusted with it so I put it up. don't you love it when someone gets that excited they can't help themselves!!! Love the colour scheme choice!! Looks like a challenge to paint, unless you have masks or decals, will be amazing once complete. good luck with it.....now keep your hands on the table where everyone can see them!

Fritag Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 (edited) Quite interested in getting one of these kits. I was looking at your cockpit shots (nice work) - and it shows the upgraded square central display. Appropriate for your era of Jag but all mark 1s (I think) would have had the circular moving map display amongst other noticeable cockpit differences. Do kittyhawk provide alternative cockpit bits? Looking forward to this. Steve Edited July 20, 2013 by Fritag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breaker Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 llking - Be careful with the instructions! I'm building out of sequence and the undercarriage build calls for the HUD frame instead of the correct part! The Engines have the compressor and turbine fans labelled wrongly as well.

MarcV Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hi, My GR1/3 is just in. Can any one help out with correct RAF stores especially 70s and 80s? I've got the Airfix kit so hopefully will be able to use this for stores also. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llking Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I would google jaguar loadouts to double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stever219 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Commonly seen weapons loads for Jaguars were 264 gallon tanks on inboard wing pylons with tandem bomb pylon for 2 x 1,000lb on the centre line and outer under wing pylons. Alternatively the centre line would be empty and CBLS 200s would be on the outer pylons. Sidewinders on over wing pylons came later, as did the BOZ107 and Phimat pods on the outer pylons. IIRC the aeroplane could carry a WE177 on the centreline pylon but I've not seen it illustrated. Also 2 and 41 Squadrons carried the EMI reconnaissance pod.

stever219 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Sorry, being a bear of very little brain, I'd forgotten BL755 CBUs (Cluster Bomb Units) as an alternative to the 1,000lb bombs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
