Jaguar GR.1A Operation Granby "Debbie" 1:72


Recommended Posts

I was based at RAF Coltishall for 15 years, 6 of those on 54(F) Sqn, so I have a bit of a soft spot for the Jaguar, and I have to say, that's one of the best 1/72 Jaguars I've ever seen.  Well done.

Do you have any WiP photos? I'm particularly interested in how you did the flaps and slats.

Thank you mates, that you like it, for me it was big fun!

I love the jag really much, but built the last around 1976...

Next time a Bulls Eye one from Husum 1979 with shark mouth and zapped with german Sq badge, XX732 hopefully!!!!

Hello rtfxwp,

Main kit was Revell (Debbie), i used a second (Italeri) kit and an additional Heller Jag A kit to saw out all  the needed additional parts, and detailed them from scratch. So, sorry, no easy solution here...

Cheers,

Tom

That is a really nice Jaguar, love the work on the slats and flaps, I'm hoping Airfix bring us one of these soon with that feature built in!

What a great model! We don't see enough Jags on this forum, so when we get one as nicely done as this it's a special treat. Keep 'em coming!    :)

 

Cheers,

Bill

Very good that, with may subtle things most wouldn't spot ( both spoilers sitting slightly up is one I like - allows one to dip as you roll )

 

 

Thank you JagRigger! The  only real one i touched was in 1978 at Erding AB Open Day. No good kit of a Jag is out there, its a pity! I made a new nose because the Italeri/Revell one was too flat. And i made a clear Ferranti LRMTS window, but masked too small. So i changed this again

Lovely looking desert Jaguer, probably one of the best in 1/72 I have yet to see.

 

Well done!

Thank you, Terry, next DS is a Tonka

Yes, and the first good kit of a Jag. Hobby Boss is so awful, i didnt buy.

A brilliant Jag, thanks for it.

 

Not a model, its a Jag without doubt, but shrunk.

Wow, thank you! Yes, the nose job with bigger(!) nose makes the Jag look much better, relocated fins, changed windscreen, smaller vertical, relocated forward wheel bay and more. All kits look awful if not changed

That will be one to look out for, having also seen some of your other excellent builds.

 

What kit will you use as the basis of the Tonka?

Thank you Terry,

it will be 1:72 Revell with extras. I think i have a dozen of them in a (at the bottom) 20 year old pile. GRRRRRs and IDeSesss galore. 🙂

Cheers,

Tom
