Wouldn't the fact that the nozzles in the above picture are at different reheat settings make a difference ?

Thanks - out with the milliput methinks

Much obliged - I'm told it houses the oil cooler or somesuch.....

If Airfix brought out a 1/72 helicopter update set - all the lumps and bumps that could be used across the current kits, I'd be well happy. in fact, they could put the C130 on it as well......... Oh - and a Squirrel would be nice !

I'm busy trying to turn 2 Airfix 1/72 into an AH7 & AH9. One are I'm really struggling for detail shots of is the top cowl behind the main rotor head - there seems to be some sort of duct going across, as well as revised vents. Anyone help ?

Isn't there a resin one coming up soon ?

She's looking good. I like your alternator cooling ducts BTW My biggest gripe, looking at many 1/48th Jags is the incorrect panel lines - I'll leave it at that unless you really want to know......

Outboard was de-modded when the overwing appeared ( except on the T birds which never carried overwings ) Only the centreline and underwing inner positions were 'wet'

Not a bad effort, that XZ363 ?

The Jag's vented as you unlocked the canopy, even if it hadn't lost pressure once the air con was off.

If you are talking about the two bits of tape in the first picture on the corners of the square panel, they look like security seals, to show if anyone has tried to access whatever is behind it.....

I got 96 myself yesterday, and there are indeed two Yeovilton badges on it

As these days I work with 92's AND 139's, I live in hope .................

I did a few years in the Jaguar tank bay. Our 1200 litre tanks were made of Asbestos / phenolic resin. They were three parts, with the centre containing a large cast suspension beam. Inside, there were baffles at the front and rear of the centre section, with a high and low level float valve to say when it was full or empty. The tanks were pressurised to provide a pressure fuel feed to the aircraft - not sure about the transfer system - I'd have to dig some notes out as once on the aircraft that was more the sooties job. We'd normally get them in for dodgy float valves, sometimes for leaks, or if it was one of the war reserve tanks then just for periodic maintenance. All this was done by the airframe trades on the Jag, with suitable sign offs for minor electrical work.

I had a few of the 1/600 ships with very similar box styles. They are American market Think I've sold them all on now..........

Once the (in)famous 'Black Bomber'

Ahhh Golf Uniform. Had that one through the Team at least three times

You could try asking on the 41 Retro web site

Agree - Airfix by far. Esci nose is too thin if looking from the side, and that nosewheel is horrible !

That must be a very early A4 - the rudder isn't 'ribbed' Personally, I think too many modellers do go OTT with weathering and panel lines, but hey - your choice. It's like the soft/hard cammo line argument.

Danish. And the ship is HDMS Ejnar Mikkelsen

I'm inclined to agree with Pete - looks like black primer to me. NDT or fastener change / re-torque on spar fittings. We used to do torque checks in a similar area on the Jags, but never needed to strip back the paint. ( oh, and we were using black primer towards the end of things too ! )
