SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1 (Airfix 1/48)

[Stuart]

Well if you get knocked down, get up again - so I pulled something out of the stash...



I've had this kit for ages, as it's one of my favourite British Cold War jets, I've just never got around to building it. I actually have a GR.3 kit, but I swapped my GR.3 decals for somebody else's GR.1 sheet - as I wanted to do the 70's/80's wrap-a-round camo.

Here's were I was - just some badly painted parts. I also seem to be missing the control column.



Should be fun - I need to do something to take my mind away from all this moving crap.

Cheers!

Nice! Gotta love the Jag! A very sleek & sexy looking strike aircraft.



The look meanest in the wrap around camo

Gotta love the Jag-u-ar I have one T.2 built and 5 others in the stash. All 72nd.

I'd like to get a 48th

Agreed, you'll be pleased to know that is the scheme I'll be going for!

Nice! I've yet to build one.

I think this is a pretty basic kit, but the Kittyhawk one should be nice.

Nice!

Thanks Lyle.

Nothing much to report yet - just freshening up the black paint in the cockpit before decals. I also need to sort out some belts and a new control stick.

"Freshing up"? "Freshing up?"...you ain't decorating a den, son. Put on your war face and get er done!

Stuart, this will be fun to follow! I've always admired the Jaguar; I first learned of it and the Tornado via Tom Clancy's "Red Storm Rising" novel. I would really love to have one in my display cabinet. And one like this would do very nicely! I look forward to seeing more dude!

Heh..... I did the Hasegawa Sepecat Jaguar back in the 80s.

Thanks Gents - it's a cracking little aircraft!
