modelling minion Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 A great choice Patrice. The camouflage scheme worn by French Jags in the desert is, in my opinion, the best ever worn by any Jag. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 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. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockeyboy76 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Yours is looking very nice Patrice. I like your replacement wing. We should have combined builds using your wing and my u/c bays it make the ultimate Jag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMP2 Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 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 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
