Having seen plenty of Jags at Telford, and built my own, I know how hard it is to fettle the Airfix kit parts to give a more accurate representation of the Jag's ovalised rectangular intakes, with the blow-in doors in the "at rest" position.

Well... now you don't have to try! I've cast up copies of my masters, which you can see below:





They come with a set of 8 hinge decals, printed for me by Ed Grantham (respect there, Ed ), and I'm offering them up for grabs at £9.50 per set delivered within the UK.

They're a simple drop-in replacement to the Airfix part, and will require a little filler to fair them into the exterior trunking, but so would the kit parts. Each decal sheetlet comes with 8 hinges, to allow for any mistakes, and the end result should be an improved Jag with very little work on your part.

To order, either contact me in the usual manner with the number of sets you want plus paypal address & I'll raise a Paypal invoice, or send the money (with details of what you want in the notes section) to meATmikewilliamsDOTco.DOTuk via paypal.

To those of you who have already pre-ordered, they'll be going out with decals in the next couple of days

Mike,
Great job on those intakes. I'd sure love to take a couple sets off your hands. Will you ship to the US ?

Thanks,
Mark

At the moment I will, but let me come back to you with a shipping price. I always use "International signed for", so the cost is a bit higher, but worth it for the certainty of delivery for both sides Did you want 2 sets?

Goody! I think I already have two sets on order.....Oh, and I don't need the decals as Ed popped into the shop on Saturday, I now have enough hinge decals for the whole of 54, 6 and 41 Sqns ca . 1982!!!

Ta Ed!!!

Yes please, two sets.
Thanks again.

PS Here's my Postal Code 95005 ( just in case you need it for a quote)

good old Ed Yes, yours are in the "pre-order" pile. I've got 12 sets cast up, plus some for my builds (3 more), about 8... make that 10 of which are spoken for. I'll be spinning up a couple more sets in a bit once I've demoulded this other thingy I've been working on

They look good!

Stephen

Thanks... yours are waiting to be bagged. You did give me your home addy, didn't you?

Fantasic work there Mike!! I cant wait to get mine!!

Cheers

Mike

Yours were on their way yesterday minus decals. I'll pop you a few sets of the decals in the next box I send you

Looks like I'm gonna have to cast up a few more sets of intakes!

Think I can get 2 sets Mike?

Thank you

AW

You can Anthony... shall I send you a paypal invoice?

btw - did you manage to get a hold of any Jag retirement decals?

Yes, I did. Good golly gosh they were expensive

I don't have Paypal...would you take any other payment?

Tricky matey... what you got?

Just to keep you informed. Any orders taken & paid for up to close of business today (UK time), will be packaged up over the weekend & posted on Monday

How many padded envelopes u got left?

A couple... I can make a few more from bigger ones too

See you tomorrow PM

Ya... got a meeting with my architectural engineer (get me! ) at 6:30, so as long as that doesn't clash, we're good to go.

I've heard that one before...

feck orf, ya fecker!

No, probably a little after lunchies

K... all paid orders are packed & ready to go to the post office, which includes the last of the Valiant intakes too.

I've got 2 intake sets left of the last batch, which are provisionally allocated to those that ain't paid yet. Any more needed?

NOTE: The hinge decals are on a small sheet of decal paper in the envelope. Please ensure you take them out before you recycle the envelope. There are 8 decals on each sheet, which should give you plenty of spares in case you stuff them up. Each one is very fragile, but should go down ok without a coat of liquid decal film if you're careful.

Ooo it's gonna be like Christmas a bit early here - 1 set on Valiant intakes, 1 set of Jag intakes and my Jag decals. Thanks Santa

...and you & J-Fever will be getting a free piece of thick cardboard to make sure that your decals arrive in good shape

Geez, your all heart

Hmmmmm caarrrrdbooorrd. Will taste great with Eggnog!

Cheers!

I'd advise you soak it overnight in vodka first, so it doesn't hurt your gums

Great Idea, english cardboard is tougher than the stuff over here!

Cheers, and bottoms up!

All the orders in the UK should be with you by now, or tomorrow at the latest (unless you're out & too lazy to head off to the post office!)...

You Yankees will have to wait while the postman cycles across the big wet bit I'm afraid... BUT... they're on their way, and they're sent int'l signed for, so pretty secure

Any more needed?

Got mine today Mike, look good, now have to crack the Jag kit open and start building....

Glad you like 'em

Hey Mike,
The Postman just delivered a package containing a beautiful pair of


Resin intakes!


Thanks again, they look awesome.
Cheers,
Mark

No worries Mark - pleasure doing business

I've got 2 orders outstanding, just waiting for my lazy arse to get casting. Won't be long chaps - promise

The intakes and retirement decals arrvied, Thanks Mike!

Very nice job on the intakes. The hinge decals are a nice bonus too.

Cheers

John H

Now, where is that vodka....?

Glad they got there safe & sound John The vodka must have dried out en route!

Gday Mike , can I also put myself down for two sets. You can send me an paypal invoice including airmail post to Australia. My email is simmersauce@hotmail.com
regards
Bruce

G'day Bruce... I'll check the postage over there & send one over in the next 24 hours. Cheers bud

Bruce & Geoff,

Humble apologies for not dispatching your orders over Christmas... they're going in the post today all being well

If anyone else wants some, I've cast up a couple of spares while I was doing the last lot, so let me know

If anyone else wants some, I've cast up a couple of spares while I was doing the last lot, so let me know

Uh me too, me too, me too. Thats if the shipping isnt going to kill us! Mike what would a set cost in USD shipped to my side of the pond?
Lexington, KY 40383

THANKS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Jack aka BUGFAN

Hi Jack,

I've PMed the scary total to you!

Okely dokely! The latest batch went in the post this avo.... just one order received today missed it, because of time constraints. They should go in the post tomorrow, all being well. As I said before, apologies to those of you that have been waiting since before Christmas

Couple of sets left from this batch if anyone else needs some

Yeah, I'll take a set Mike if that's okay.

Just as some of you might be getting towards the stage where you will be looking at applying the hinge decals for these, I thought it might be useful to remind you that the decals are very delicate, so either give them a coat of liquid decal film before applying, or treat them very gently. There are 8 decals per sheetlet, so one spare for each hinge

The last two orders on hand will be posted tomorrow, and I still have a few pre-cast items in "stock" (sat in a box on my bench! ), so let me know if you want a set.


Yours is one of the ones going in the post tomorrow

I received my intakes today

They look GREAT!!! Thanks Mike

No worries... anymore for anymore?

I can honestly say the intakes are the dogs danglies...I've fitted mine to the airframe tonight and they're superb!

I've fitted mine too! My Jag's starting to look like a Jag now... must stop being lazy & take some pics

And I must calm down and take less

Seriously, those intakes are a quality piece of work
