theplasticsurgeon Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) Tim's Jaguar completed model. 1/48 Airfix almost straight from the box - which was the Jaguar at Fairford in 1989 (and I was there to see it). And now she's going to adorn my desk - until the next project is completed.

OzH Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Another Sadman I'm afraid..... 1/48 Airfix kit, with Eduard etch, Heritage cockpit, Mike's intakes and Hasagawa CBU-87s (thanks for the tip Martin) Painted with Xtracrylic, Aeromaster decals and Phils wash. Hope you like it, the build thread is here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Looks great Oz! One thing tho' - read the text on the side of the bombs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguar00 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Great model Oz I have a question. Do you have any Jaguar photo with four CBU-87s? I have seen BL755 or 1000lb boms in tandem but any CBU-87. Thanks. Radek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Well done Oz - don't forget to sneak the fuel dump pipe on as well. Small protruding pipe just above the drag chute cone, at the base of the tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzH Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 (edited) Great model Oz I have a question. Do you have any Jaguar photo with four CBU-87s? I have seen BL755 or 1000lb boms in tandem but any CBU-87. Thanks. Radek Radek, I have to say I knew nothing about the Jaguar before I started this for the group build before Christmas. I was planning to build it using the kit supplied ordanace but understood that the BL755 cluster bombs were switched to CBU-87s, I sorced these from the Hasagawa weapons kit, I had found this picture, I think taken at the same time as the one you have posted, I honestly couldn't tell you if they are BL755s or CBU-87s! I do have the BL744s ready to go, so it won't take much to switch them over if they are wrong...... Looks great Oz! One thing tho' - read the text on the side of the bombs I know, I figured they were the shipping text?! maybe only transport them by land/sea!? I did wonder why you would have DO NOT FLY on them, again, easily removed if it will make it more correct. Totally open to suggestions here!

LotusArenco Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Ssshhhh...... Let's see if we can quietly slip this one into the group build before anyone notices. Right, think I can consider this one done. Not perfect by any means, but it'll do me. 1/72 Revell Jaguar. Mostly out of the box, except for an Aeroclub seat and a few Xtradecals roundels and stencils. What did we learn from this build? 1.I know bugger all about modern aircraft. 2.Xtracrylix don't seem to like being sprayed on bare plastic 3.Revell decals can be a bit pants at times 4.Even when I want to, I can't build 'out of the box' 5.Blu-tac worms are brill' 6.I spend too much time researching and then forget to look at the flipping photos while building! 7.A fully detailed cockpit is not entirely necessary if it is painted black. 8.Spilling Klear on models and not noticing is a pain in the bum. 9.I like building modern British aircraft! 10.Britmodeller is full of helpful people who know a lot more than I do. The stores are just white glued on, so if I've messed up the loadout it's not the end of the world. C&C welcome. One last thing, I didn't seem to have used as much filler as some Revell/Italeri builds I've seen here. Maybe It was from an earlier moulding batch?

GrahamEM Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 OzH great job, desert dirty and worn nicely it's crackin' & LotusArenco very nice 1/72 jag that's so good it actually looks like a 1/48 Keep 'em coming this is the best part seeing what's flying in!

DamienB Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 LotusArenco - wash a bit of red over the cannon muzzles and that'd finish it off nicely. Don't think I ever saw a Jag with all the red coating worn off, certainly not with the rest of the paint job looking so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LotusArenco Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi Mart - Nice Jag mate. Did you sign up for the GB - can't find you? OOps...Think I messed up there! Can I sign up 'after the deed is done'? Sorry newbie mistake. Mart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary West Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 OOps...Think I messed up there!Can I sign up 'after the deed is done'? As the Jag GB ends in about 6 weeks, probably best to wait for the next one - especially as you didn't run a WiP thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatchet Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Oz, the CBU-87s were only carried as singles. Incidentally, Radeks picture is the first I've seen of a Desert Pink Jag carrying BL755s, but as 8 were dropped 'in anger' it figures there would be some pictures of it too. The picture you linked to seem to show a CBU-87. The "do not fly" text is, I believe, only on inert, ground-handling, training rounds. I think I mentioned the 'single-only' thing in my PM...

Do you have some photo with 2sq Jaguar with 1000lb bombs? 2sq was recce squadron and I have not any similar photo in my collection. 1000lb bombs on the inner pylons were in tandem only I think.
