Lord Riot Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 This was a fabulous kit to make, all the parts fitted really well and with good instructions, as well as a nice array of stores. My first 1/48 kit. I think I left the wing strakes a bit too long, and I haven't got the skill to fashion the three tiny canopy mirrors, plus she's a bit too satin not matt, but I hope she captures the essence of a Jag from the days when it was so much fun to hang out at the end of Coltishall's runway, or see them screaming low over Norfolk!

F-32 Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Very nice indeed, I do like a retro Jag! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filler Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 That's turned out brilliantly. Nice work LR. The paint job looks just right and it's persuaded me to start over on mine and try to get it looking more like yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, that has come up a treat, nice building. 👍 Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's hard to tell from photos isn't it, some Jags do look a bit satin while in other pics they look like they've faded out in the sun too long!

Very tempted to get one of these for the stash too Thanks Mikey - I'd definitely recommend one, it's a nice build, nothing too fiddly but then better modellers than me could probably have enough scope to add bits if they wanted, it all fits together nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashellis Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Great finish, I'm working on one at the moment but the Camo went wrong thanks to Maskol (One Day I'll learn) so gone down the desert storm route I have a couple more In the stash and a grey/green wrap is definitely on the cards, want to do an arctic trio of jag, tornado and Harrier Good looking Jag though Darren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazza l Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Very nicely done, the cockpit detail looks good, is that aftermarket stuff? I must get one of these built one day. gazza l 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Riot Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks Gazza; no the cockpit is just what came with the kit, I only added some seat belts from masking tape. Oh and a bit of bent plastic so I could have the canopy open. The kit decals for the cockpit were pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelh Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Very nice. To me that's the classic Jaguar colour scheme. Great job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opus999 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Love the camo scheme! I think the satin finish is about right. Nice job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
