bar side Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 With the final retirement of the Cosford Jags a couple of weeks ago it seemed timely to finish off my build of Jaguar XX117 in her retirement colours. This picture of her got me started: I had been meaning to build a Jag for a while & a good priced GR3a came up on ebay, and Model Alliance did the tail decals. So here she is: The step ladder is a new scratch build addition - not a Jag ladder, but suitable for the scene. Nice Airfix kit to build & came together quite quickly. Hope you like it. 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone Phixer Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Great work, I like it lots. Brilliant HAS & photography, you could mistake it for the real thing. Nice to see the old girl again. I did loads of work on XX117 PA during my 4 years on 16R. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bar side Posted September 25, 2016 Author Share Posted September 25, 2016 Thanks for the kind comments. I have to say that my modelling skills don't stand up to the kind of close inspection that some excellent models on here do, but the diorama distracts you from the imperfections & my modelling limitations.

Tomoshenko Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Don't be hard on yourself. That's a really nice build. The diorama adds not distracts, and the runway / concrete looks very realistic. My only criticism is that there isn't enough piccies hint hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagRigger Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Really good that - I always liked that scheme. Just one question - what's with the probe cover on the Fwd avionics bay door ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
