Mozzy19 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) The bombs look to be French versions? But I think this may be one of my next things to buy. By the way isn't it kitty hawk making it, not kinetic (probably a typo) Edited February 28, 2013 by Mozzy19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mozzy19 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I read somewhere that it may be released in May (don't quote me on that one) but I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caution Wake Turbulence Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Has anyone heard any news on the Italeri release? Do you think we'll actually see it this year? Will certainly be tempted by the Kitty Hawk version. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger331 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Scheduled for release end of May/Early June although it's not clear which location (Far East or Europe)....judging by the mis-aligned release of the Kittyhawk Mirage F.1B (should have been in Europe in late January and its now first week of March) could be July/August before we see it here.

AnonymousAA72 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ah well, at least the SNEB pods will come in handy for other aircraft!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12jaguar Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Pretty sure that the grey/green version (XX732) wouldn't have had overwing pylons (far too early) John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Hopefully you get more than one drop tank! Nice to see XX732 though - I hope they've got the zaps on the starboard fin and forward fuselage included in the kit's decals: http://sepecat.info/b/2009/09/29/jaguar-54sq-xx732-sharkmouth/ BTW XX732 was destroyed in a crash in 1986 near Hawick, so as John (12jaguar) points out it's unlikely it would have had overwing pylons. Didn't they first appear on RAF Jags in 1991 for the Gulf War? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truro Model Builder Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I believe we bought or borrowed them from the Royal Air Force of Oman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Cool! A new British Jag to be released in the month of my birthday. I'm going to pretend the date was set to coincide on purpose 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
venomvixen Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Does this mean I have to turf my Airfix one now?

Gary West Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Pretty sure that the grey/green version (XX732) wouldn't have had overwing pylons (far too early) John Spot on - that was zapped at GAF Husum August 1979 (I know, I was on the exercise living in a HAS) - far too early. Im also hoping the chute cone isnt the same for the GR1 & 3? Might give this one a go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sod that, I'll still build my Airfix one - it only cost me £10 and still looks like a Jag It does, just remember that the spine under the tail is a little bit too low, so if it bothers you, you'll need to bulk it up somehow... oh, and replace all the panel lines that aren't there on the underside, and so on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjD Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Urgh. Those decal drawings (whilst beautifully done) don't fill me with confidence for various reasons (all late-style chute cones, early aerial/strobes and late chaff/flare dispensers on all too I think, plus the aforementioned issues with pylons/LGBs, etc). I'm not usually one for throwing up criticism in public but I've been really, really looking forward to this and at first glance it does kind of appear that it could prove to be a victim of a rush job... Knowing what the price will likely be and how beautifully moulded the kit will be too, that's going to be awfully disappointing if it's let down by shoddy research. Personally, I quite like the options to open doors although I accept that some people would rather not pay for such gimics but seriously, how can efforts be poured in to making all that work and (potentially...we'll see) external details be screwed up. We're all human and mistakes do happen but these are kinda Jag basics I'd say... Still, that's just my first take but it could require a small bank loan to buy the kit plus all the aftermarket to put it right. Hopefully it'll all be alright on the night but if not, let's see what you've got, Italeri!! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjD Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Although on second thoughts I do accept that much of that is easily fixed. I just hope it's not a prelude to anything more major. No doubt I'll still find myself buying one! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I like we'll have 2 new tool Jag's soon. I'm now waiting for the Italeri kit before I put down my hard earned. I do hope there are 2 drop tanks in the Kittyhawk kit though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacificmustang Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Are we still likely to see it though Calum? thats the question. Not sure how far along Italeri are with their's and also they arent the best known either for getting all the little details right. I lbelieve they have dropped their forthcoming H34 due to the gallery kit being released. It would not surprise me if they (italeri) dropped the Jag as well Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
