Screech Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 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 Sure Mike, kick a fella when he's down. I'm sticking with my two Airfix kits as well. Although the new kits do look nice, just can't see chuckin' the loot I have already for the two Airfix kits to start all over again. So we'll just have to watch you review and build it up and shiny for us to be envious of! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum 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 I hope not Bruce, I'm not completely sold on the Kittyhawk kit. It is better than the Airfix one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagRigger Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 OK - I'll certainly get one and give it a good looking at. From the pictures, I think I'll need a new seat - that looks like a 9B2 - ok for the 80's jet but not for the other two options ( if it's a B3 the opposite will of course apply ) Of course, if anyone want's to send me one free to critique.........

MikeC Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Never mind the weapons, has it got a recce pod??? The lack of 2 or 41 Sqn markings may mean not, but of course they may have included one anyway. Like others, I'm waiting for both this and the Italeri before I part with money.

Albeback52 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Not a big fan of open panels etc but, I do like the option of showing the model with everything hanging ( flaps,spoilers,slats etc) . Brings the thing alive. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV107 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Pretty sure that the grey/green version (XX732) wouldn't have had overwing pylons (far too early) John Hmmm. As you'll know, the Hasegawa 1/72 Jag which contained XX732's markings as an option came with the overwing pylons (and Magics rather than AIM-9), but this was because the other decals are/were for a Jag International, which had the pylons. I wonder if a fond memory of the Hasegawa Jag (the instructions of which said you could hang the Magics on XX732s outboard pylons, IIRC...) has led to a slight mis-remembering of which airframe carried the overwing pylons? Part of me says that with eight Airfix Jags in the stash (or is it nine?) I ought to pass on this, but... I may have to succumb (particularly if the correct LGBs are in the box, even if these are liberated for use on a different kit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwitrogg Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Ooh very nice. Must get a couple of those. First obvious mistake (correct me if I'm wrong) but they've moulded a hydraulic hand pump stowed in both port and stbd rear undercarriage doors.....should only be on the port. A quick and easy fix, but it looks like they've gone to a lot of trouble to research the detail just to get a bit wobbly somewhere so easy to see compared to the rest of it.. Thank you Aires !

Breaker Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I've been looking at getting one of these for a while - The issues that I've found from around the web are that OOB you can only build a GR1 accurately, it comes with 25 loads however only 5 of them are applicable for RAF use (The rest are French). For those wondering - It only comes with 1 external tank. I'm a bit torn - I've got an Airfix one in the stash, tempting to bash the two together!

RMP2 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Any news on a re-release of the KH GR1/GR3? It appears to have vanished from sale anywhere (I realise this may please some people).
