Which region are you building Patrice?...Roussillon, Corse, Jura or Vosges?

 

I will probably build the A104 of 2/11 Vosges with the Berna decals sheet

That I ordered a few days ago ...

 

I will try to work on this build during the week end ..

 

Best Regards

Bonsoir Patrice,

 

a great start to your Jaguar.

The ejection seat is a model in itself! I did not know this artisan.

Your paint job of the seat is top class.

Has the Hasegawa Jaguar got a French nose?

 

Keep having fun.

Looking really good.

Just a note re the gun shrouds - the French ones were slightly different to the RAF versions, not sure how noticeable in 72nd, but thought I'd mention it in case you weren't aware.

Either way, gotta love a Jag in any camo scheme 🙂

Indeed.

Not only the shrouds. The gas vents and case ejectors as well.
