AnonymousAA72 Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) I have actually started the GR1 - according to the photo's a couple of years ago.....was there a GB on ARC? Anyway not touched it in over a year.... and I did take pictures... This will be a 54 Sqn GR1 (probably XX721) as issued in 1975 with pointy nose..... First of all The NeoMega cockpit - no 1/48th single seat Jag should be witout one!! Paragon's resin & P.E. I don't think the pylons were ever released commercially - Neil kindly donated a pair when I started this build!! I've started to bash the wings about a bit - in readiness for the slats and flappery! I've opened up the wheel bays and blanked off with plastic card in readiness for some additional (well, quite a lot actually!) plumbing... The Jag's cockpit is black. I normally paint "black" tub's in a very dark grey, but to me the Jag's pit should be semi-matt/satin black. I'm not 100% certain about the high-lighting at the moment - looks a bit too "white". I'll probably attend to that!!! I've given the seat an overall coat of black. The high-lighting should help when detailling it I'll do a separate post for the T2/4...... I will add some pic's in a few days - I need to spend a bit of time on the Vulcan GB first though... Edited October 2, 2007 by Bill Clark
jaguar00 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 Bill, looking forward to seeing more photos. Very nice. Radek
Gary West Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I've opened up the wheel bays and blanked off with plastic card in readiness for some additional (well, quite a lot actually!) plumbing... watching this with much interest - same thoughts as me Bill on the wheel bays. I notice quite a few jags sit with the larger door open and it puts such a different slant on a Jag kit. Lots of WiP pics please
rdxtnt Posted October 6, 2007 Posted October 6, 2007 I've opened up the wheel bays and blanked off with plastic card in readiness for some additional (well, quite a lot actually!) plumbing... Looking good Bill. Considered opening these doors up on mine too but decided against it. The speed I build it would never be finished in time
