Popular Post Solo Posted December 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2015 I have been building this model for almost 4 months and this time it wasn't so nice and easy as usually. KH kit is really infelicitous, with bad fitting and many small disadvantages. But finally I finished it and you can see outcome of my efforts. I used: - Sepecat Jaguar Gr.1/Gr.3 kit - Aires wheel bays - Aires air brakes - Eduard PE sets (interior and exterior) - Eduard masks - North Star wheels - Wingman BL.755 bombs (I also ordered special decals for those bombs) - Eduard AIM-9L Sidewinders - FlightPath's AN/ALQ-101. Here you can see my Jaguar in arctic camouflage. 97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsPhil Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) That's great work, I think you have been very generous to what is an awful kit to put together! Certainly a silk purse from a sows ear in this case! Edited December 21, 2015 by SaintsPhil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 I like that a lot This is my 'big build' for next year. Should I be very nervous??! Maybe not so much, but... This kit has a lot fitting issues, but those issues are not so big, not so considerable. Usually you can fix it with a little efforts, but problem is that those issues are frequent and really irritating. But the biggest and major issue of this kit are decals: this is really something %#@*#$!@#!. Very rigid and most of all: extremely fragile. I spent almost 40 minutes to put two of them on wings, or specifically: to put the pieces of those decals together. Puzzle. Just a horror. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Headroom Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for the reply Solo. I'm aware of the transfers/decals and their accuracy so I've ordered this https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ML48122 And the Flightpath drop tank and recce pod set.

Solo Posted December 21, 2015 Author Share Posted December 21, 2015 Thanks for the reply Solo. I'm aware of the transfers/decals and their accuracy so I've ordered this Thank you gentlemen, it is nice to read that you like it. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ML48122 And the Flightpath drop tank and recce pod set. Trevor I do not know those decals from Model Alliance, but I do believe anything can be better than this kit's decal. Anything. Regarding resins from FlightPath - I hope you will not be disappointed, because mine ECM pod is from this manufacturer... just really awful piece of resin. I can not recommend this product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
