exdraken Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Nice progress! Just asking, I am away from.my references currently, but did you look into the pylon and tank shape? Or is this all direct from the kit? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phone Phixer Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Hmmm. Those wing pylons are extremely French. Have a look in the BM walkround section on the Jaguar for the British pylon shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
