Homebee Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Do you remember the talentuous chinese kit designer named M. Song who worked for Trumpeter and who's now working for Kitty Hawk Model ( http://s511.photobuc...Sepecat Jaguar/ ). His current employer has obviously taken over this project as M. Song has just published, on his personal photopage, CAD drawings of a SEPECAT Jaguar A (the French version) and announced this Jag as one of the next 1/48th Kitty Hawk kit. To be followed.

Max Headroom Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Interesting. I was wondering where Trumpeter's project had got to. I hope it sees the light of day. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twentyten Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Gutted that this has turned out to be 48th scale. I know I was hoping for a 32nd Jag and Bucc. Maybe it'll be scaled up???? Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aninswed Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Aren't Italeri also doing a 1/48 Jag? A Bucc would be good as well - I have two of their Hunters in the queue ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim T Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Their website is utterly unhelpful, but we have seen physical evidence of the first two releases, so maybe I should cheer up. It is a very strange mix of releases though.A new tooled 1/48 Bucc would be beyond belief though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) Had a look at your hobby search link Homebee and saw this Heller Jaguar GR.1/3 boxing that I've never seen before. Looks like their current box style but I'm pretty sure it wasn't announced at the trade shows, is it out yet? http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10200366 Jaguar A is listed too. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10200365 Paul Harrison Edited October 14, 2012 by GreenDragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HLJ has them slated for October release. Time to dig out all those Paragon bits and bobs from the stash then... Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 well I think, at the risk , of lynching, that the French A has always been the more interesting version for me. So roll on Telford.... Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin @ Freightdog Models Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I am on the Jagwagon to, new 1/72 resin weapon sets due out at Telford for GR1 and GR3. Leave the big scale stuff for the short sighted (looks like I might get lynched as well!) Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hannants have an eduard 48th jag listed as a future release. Seems everyone is jumping on the jagwagon Weren't Eduard supposed to have been re-releasing the Airfix Jag with etch/resin extras a while back? I'd assume that now Heller appear to be re-releasing it under their own label that may have bitten the dust? Hannants do have the Heller Jaguar A as a future release...but then again they also have the (alleged) 1/48 Italeri Jaguar listed too. And there's nowt wrong with 1/48 for those with ailing eyesight Colin. And for Jonners, French Jags are more than acceptable too!! Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I wonder when we'll see the sprue pics as the decal sheet shows a varied assortment of weapons although some will be inert with the blue stripes. Jari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Those pics of the Buccaneer are quite impressive, it will be even more impressive it actually makes it onto the shelves of my local model shop alongside an RAF Jaguar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Hannants shows The Jaguar A from Kitty Hawk as available from early December 2012. The Heller A is priced at £24.99 but no date shown as yet. Hope that Kitty Hawk price theirs accordingly. I would prefer that they didn't complicate the kit by opening panels on the fuselage and kept the price down. I do, however, want the flaps and slats option.

chrisov Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thats a shame early November would help sales no end, say available before 10th? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvanagr Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Just take a look at this: http://www.hannants....e=&save_search= See how many jaguars are up to be released in the future. I suppose the 2 Eduard kits are re-releases of the the old Heller kits. If the Italeri kit is really going to be new tooling, then i can't wait to see pics of the Kitty Hawk and Italeri NEW kits sprues! But...what about their prices????
