Here's my current build status. What you think?

First the subject Jaguar T4 xx847


Now the build

Trial fit of wing section


In progress bits all together


Makers plate of the said jet. Would look nice on a wooden plinth infront of the finished model :-)




Will post further pics of the landing gear when i can upload them.

Yeah that's looking a pretty good start - welcome to the T2/4 build club. Now there is super detailing, but I gotta tell you that serial plate is waaaaaaay to large to fit on it though.

LoL I know I might even do some pc trickery and down size it and try and fit on lol fro reference the makers plate fits behind the seat inbetween the canopy struts

Picture of the landing gear for this jag.

Coming along nicely Wardy! The gear is looking awesome. How well does the station wagon part of the fuselage fit BTW?

Mike

Whahey - you've got great legs

I've been doing some more work on the T-bird I've left the legs for the moment and concentrated on the intake boxes and centerline pylon plus I've started work on the external fuel tanks.

Also following a few hints and tips from other treads cheers ALL I've bolstered the joint for the wing fixing at the front with 2 pieces of plasticard.

Any constructive comments would be great.

Cheers Wardy

Thats some nice progress there Wardy. You make it look so easy dropping in a resin replacement and looks seamless.

Looking forward to more progress pics.

Doc

Just want to echo Doc's comments and say love the "Do not copy" banner at the top of each photo. Wish I had the skill to try!

Brilliant job blending the resin bits to the rest of the fuselage. The landing gear is looking quite nice as well.

I've always thought the family model Jag has a nice look to it. Looking forward too seeing to this one take shape.

Cheers,
Mark

WOW!!!!!!!!!
Excellent work mate!!!!
Love the intakes, they look amazing!!!

Looking good Wardy. Top effort if you're building the intake internals... For total accuracy remember they do start to change fron rectangular to circular section by widening the rectangluar section from the box to a sq section and fairings until it got to the dustbin at frame 25 (Diffussion Duct being the technical term!!)

Depends how far you are going back...

Thanks mate the internals of the intakes do blend out to the square section after the intake box, as its so small you can't see it but the internals are for cosmetic reasons just to give the finished model (eventually) some depth and not make it look hollow I was tempted by placing at the back of them a mock up of the first stage compressor blades but you can't see them clear enough so I've binned that idea.

The Legs are comming on nicely only thing is I'm goinig blind and mad doing them so small items being fitted one knock before the glue sets it moves or falls off Arghhhhh

Wardy

Dont you just love plasticard?! Nice efforts on your part and what a lot of resin. Great fofos, too.

Yeah its great stuff thanks for the comments.
Just got back after going to China Lake with my new post with the Hercules C130k doing some RWR stuff not as good as the Jag dets but hey can't have it all, so not much progress at all sorry to say, I'm waning a little it's seems as if I've caught the build blues again maybe after xmas I'll perk up.

Just out of interest is there a model of the C130K with all the LIRCM / DIRCM kit?

Until my next update Happy Christmas

Wardy

Will be soon

Have you came down here then?

Jen.

Yeah went out on the K then came back saturday/sunday on a Tristar into Brize

Nice work mate!!!!!
I will keep an eye on this post!!!!

Hi all

Sorry for no updates, some sad news due to RAF work I am pulling out of the group build the cat / cats I intended to build are at a stage which will easily allow me to complete them in the next year I hope but they will get completed they hold so much fond memories for me to have worked on and flew in one.

Thanks all for the hints and tips

Mike for the intakes which will allow the the other 2 birds to be finally sprayed at some point, thanks mate.

Oh

Shame, cos I was enjoying that! Will you still be hanging round here Andy, or are you being whisked off elsewhere?

Still here but the time needed to do a good job on them is only coming about in small dribs and drabs, I want to finish them to a high standard for a display to go with the bits I got when the Jags dissbanded as a fitting memory I'll still post updates when they come but as an interim update the main legs are almost there and they look mighty fine if i say so myself lol
