This one looks like a real filler queen! Can’t say I’d have the patience like your dad!

For now he has lost his patience and put the kit aside for a while, definitley no fun kit.

wouldn´t have believed it some time ago but the model finally looks like a Jaguar 😄

did some paint/colour tryouts with a selfmixed paint, decided to go for the "sunbaked" slightly pinkish look

there was some kind of "adapter" between pylon and PHIMAT, no such thing in the kit, so my dad used a piece of plastic

kit doesn´t include an AN/ALQ-101 either, ordered a resin piece from Flightpath UK

and the two Sidewinders, two of the small and large stabilizers are molded on, the other two have to be glued on

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?

Hmmm. Those wing pylons are extremely French. Have a look in the BM walkround section on the Jaguar for the British pylon shape.

 

all direct from the kit

the pylons may be slightly less pointy but don´t care about that

 

 

canopy fit isn´t the best too

had to sand down the dashboard cover and also the front area of the front canopy to make it fit without a step to the fuselage
