Right you Orrible lot, knives sharpened, paint stirred and Jaguar kits out of the stash. The Sepecat Jaguar group build is about to begin.

The Rules:

- Jaguars with wings ONLY - no vroom vrooms please (and no sticking wings onto your vroom vroom)
- No "What if's" allowed.....so sorry.
- Any scale allowed.
- Your entry should be either completely unstarted or at least at the early stages of a build. No popping a canopy on something 95% finished
- Jaguars from any user nations can be included - will add a list later.
- Models do not have to be straight OOB and there are NO limitations to all those after market goody's that you can use.
- The winners will be decided by vote and a poll will be set up.
- Prizes - I know we don't need prizes to tempt us, but if we can collectively muster some goodies up over the next few days, a seperate announcement will be made.
- Have fun

Sadly, I've forgotten the usual GB periods, so I'll add the completeion date in later.

Gentlemen (and Jen) start your Adours.

End date's on the forum header... 30th April 2008... 6 months, unless my maths is screwed up

...and that's an order!

I think I might be in with a 1:48 Airfix Jag, although I've no idea what I'll be doing with it. I have some decals & a Neomega cockpit, but when I'll start I have no idea

I'm in with a Hasegawa 1/72 T2 - squadron as yet undecided, it will be in wraparound grey/green

I'm torn between a T2 very early scheme or a pre squadron entry development GR1.....choices choices

I'm in with a 1/72 Hasagawa "DERA" Empire Test Pilot School T2.

For the second time, just to keep Mike happy I'm in with a 48 scale single pit aircraft. Markings undecided!

I'm in Airfix 1/72 GR.3, built as GR.1 XZ367/'Debbie' in Op. Granby - thank you Col

I am in with a Jaguar Marine in 1/48 (see the other thread!)

What you mean the closed one

Count me in Airfix 1/48 Jaguar GR1A Gulf Scheme Colours

Anyone here fancy volunteering to knock up some banners for the GB?

Can I enter 2? I've got an Italeri T.2 and a Revell GR1.A to do, both 1/72... the Revell GR.1A in grey/green, 2 Sqn...

Just had a thought on a banner, but hadn't got any good piccies to mess with...

Karl.

Yeh, gotta 'ave a banner.

Never entered a GB before but I'd like to have a go. Airfix 1:48 Omani AF for me

I'm in too!

Gary,

Count me in - Airfix 1/48 GR3 done as XX119 in the "spotty" retirement scheme in your avatar It may push my airbrushing skills over the edge but I may attempt to do this without using the upcoming MA decals

Cheers,

Ian

Now that would be worth seeing Ian

Never done a group build before but have a 1/48 airfix jag thats been sitting gathering dust for a long time and this will be a good reason to do it. Have an old set of decals knocking about for an anniversary 41Sqn aircraft with a wrap round camo and a red tail / spine that i`ll give a try .

Sandy

I'm in with a 1/72 Heller Jaguar A. Even I should be able to finish it in that sort of timescale!

John

Count me in, i have been looking forward to this one.
I will be building the 1:48 Airfix GR1 in Nigerian colours (decals very generously donated by Gary (RDXTNT) Thanks again.)
I am a member of North Somerset Modellers and we have a do not feed the animals theme at Telford this year, so i will try to get this one finished for then.
Then i might try and build the second one in my stash as an OpGranby pink jobbie, maybe.

All good choices chaps, really looking forward to seeing these take shape over the coming months


Ooh, do the development bird Gary! Go on, you know it'd look good and different next to those two you ain't got finished yet



No problem mate, glad to see them go to a good home

Have to say, I'm very impressed with the range of machines being planned so far and the colour schemes they will be wearing. Particularly pleased to see mention of two export birds and the M in the mix as well.
At this rate it's gonna be a good one and we ain't even started yet

Well as you know I'm a treadhead.

But I have always liked the look of the Jag. So I have in my stash an Airfix Jag GR.3, a Hasegawa GR.1 an Italeri T.2 and a Revell GR.1.

And I have a lovely Neomaga Jag cockpit for one of them.

Nothing wrong with that Daz, welcome aboard. Quite a list of choices you've got there mate.

I'll watch you pro's and stick my nose in now and again to see how it's going.
can't wait to see how they unfold

For those who are interested the link below goes to the YouTube film of the Jaguar Marine on trials aboard the Clemenceau... Let's see if mine looks anything like it.... That undercarriage is going to need quite a few mods...

Jag M

I wasn't going to join this, having just sold my only Jag. But then I accidentally bought an Italeri T.2 in Hobbycraft just now. So I'm in!

Colour scheme to be decided...........

Jen.

Count me in, I have a Revell 1/72 GR1 in the stash, and some Modeldecals for wraparound scheme Jags at an early RIAT.

We seem to have a fair few participants so far for the Jaguar Build - great news. Should make it a very enjoyable viewing area.

Should have added earlier, anyone wishing tp join after Monday are just as welcome - there is no final entry date.

I'd say you've got your work cut out for you there mate! Sure you'll nail it though.



Ah well, accidents will happen. Welcome aboard Jen.



Cool, another interesting scheme!

Thanx Col.

I now have to decide what squadrons and markings to put them in.

I have the (very rare) 1970s Heller 1/50 Jag M (yes, I am that autistic ) - it is a bit of a collector's item (and also a bloody awful kit to make) so I won't be using that but it should provide a good base for sorting the undercarriage on the 1990's 1/48 Jag A

Maybe I will finally exorcise this Jag M thing and I can get back to my SAAF Cheetahs.... I will think of this build as therapy

Dr Jekill is trying to makes me remember that I've failed to finish the GBs that I've joined previously, but Mr Hyde tells me "Go, go go!!!!".
I'll try to make a decision today.

Assuming I can find the box in the loft, I'm in with a 1:48 Airfix kit - It'll probably be a 41 Sqn Aircraft with the pearlescent white tail - but then, it might not...

It WILL be Martin- even if I have to drag you kicking and screaming to the local Auto paint suppliers...

AND_ you have got ME started- so no backing out- else I'll be round to nick all your Jag decals

Never fear, O Mental one - I've found the box, plus another one I'd forgotten about... which means I've got three I could use

Pulling out all the resin bits shows I've got 2 sets each of Neils wheels, flaps and exhausts, 2 Neomega Cockpits and a Flightpath set of Jaguar tanks and pods, and also a set of Flightpath TMD Cluster Bombs.

I can feel an operational jet coming on as well - ATRF pink or grey, I'm not sure yet

I've been having a look, and I think that I might have a go at the Jaguar ACT, would that qualify?? Would need to make up the leading edge strakes, but wouldn't think it'd be too hard. Decals may be a bit of an issue, but I've been fancying a go at making some of my own for a while.

For the who don't know it, here it is...


Karl.

Didn't Mastchbox do a kit of that a/c?

Don't know Daz, I'd be converting it from a GR.1 kit anyway. Might help with regards to decals if they did though...

Karl.

Ok Karl.

Maybe it's me having delusions of grandeur lol

It certainly would - nice choice too

YAY! I think I'll be brave then and have a go at this... That's another trip to Cosford for some decent photo's now then!

Karl.

Ooohh goody- I can feel some horse trading coming on

Ok, I'm in.

Kit =>
Hasegawa GR1/A 1/72

Aftermarket =>
- Airwaves MB mk9 seat
- Eduard photo etched for ... Jaguar A! (Nevermind)
- Model alliance decal sheet International Selection.
- Wing tanks from Italeri Jaguar E.

I'll go for a Fuerza Aerea Ecuatoriana Jag ES, FAE 327 from Escuadron de combate 2111 "Jaguares".

Our first export Jag - nice change Green & Grey

I might change my mind, but anyway, it'll not be Brit or French.

Can I join in with a Hasegawa Jag, airwaves resin wing and some stuff from the airfix kit. The bit of kit that I work on is right there in the nose, that's as good a reason to build one.

Graham.

OK! I've found some good pictures of XZ103 in the 41 Sqn 2005 Display Scheme, so that will be my entry!

Wish me luck, I'm going in...

Hello all,

I'm awaiting on the postie bringing me a 1/72nd Airfix Jag , my 11 year old son is joining in too with an Italeri Jaguar E.
