First shots of My Jaguar GR3

[Big Bill]

Hi Fellows! I wish to share with you all my current other build which I hope will be finished with my Vulcan for the IPMS Nationals in August. It's the 48th scale Airfix Jag, and when done should resemble the MK.3 of the 16 sq."Saints". I am doing the Paragon Mods, flaps, slats.burner cans,chaff dispensers,and cannon bulges. To that comes the Flightpath kit with Tanks and other goodies for the airframe. I fit the Neomega Jag Mk.1 cockpit, but made revisions to the dashboard by scraping off all the guages and screens and replacing them with more realistic PE ones including the square middle screen on the GR.3. I will also be adding the flightpath Tiald and ECM pod,2 LGB's and Paragon seat and boarding ladder set. I will be adding U/C and wheel well detail as well. The "BLACK" Intakes, Which are real nice and a direct replacement for the kit parts are from my friend Mike Reeves of two Mikes resin ( LOOK HIM UP AT TWOMIKESRESIN.COM), and were patterned by Brit modeller Mike Williams!!!I am currently using 2 PE sets. The Eduard Jag set and the rerelease Airwaves cockpit set which I need for the canopy parts. I will be doing the drab 2 tone grey with a black tail for #16 squadron "The Saints" The decals are from Model Alliance. Email me if you want to ask any questions about the build. P/S The nose Pitot was replaced with brass rod for a "Very Hard to Break nose piece!!!!! Thanks for looking, Big Bill. P/S I would like to thank David J Parkins and Niel Burkhill for helping me get this project off the ground!!!! The Jag will also be painted exclusively in XTRACOLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Bill, how about having a shot at listing your pics and not your links - I'm sure you'll get more comments/feedback?

Bill,

To do what Gary asks copy the IMG Code link from Photobucket (it's the 4th option under each thumbnail pic). If you paste the IMG Code link in your post the photo magically appears - just like this :-

HTH,

Ian

Looking forward to seeing more Bill!

As the others have said, try posting the pic, not the link

Lookin' good there Bill... those intakes look GREAT! It's a shame that Airfix forgot to make both the mating surfaces level, isn't it? I've got 3 pairs that Mike sent me in white resin as a test, and they look great. Also makes masking MUCH easier. I'm hoping if he's reading this that he'll pull the next batch in white

Keep up the good work

Thanks fellows for the help and the comments. I will try to iron out my picture problems instead of sending you links. You gotta give me some slack! I'm forest Gump on this har thingy!!!! LOL. Regards, Big Bill
