There is also the ESCI Jaguar kits out there… but they are older and more simplistic being one of their earlier 1/48 efforts. They made both the French Jaguar A and the British GR.1, and are fairly easy to find online.

Might have to look for one of those.

Hey!! Blooming hell, I've just managed to assemble and fit one of massively complicated main gear legs - and it actually fitted!!!!



Now to do the next one.....

Yea Jaguar legs are a bit......weird

You're not wrong, trailing link always looks a bit strange.



The Jag was designed for rough field use, it also needed the ground clearance to carry a Nuke on the centre pylon.

I did a 12 hour audit for a client today - great fun not but I did get a few minutes here and there to get the rest of the gawky gear in place...





I also started work on the tanks and the recon pod....



It's not a bad kit this, if you start with low expectations. It certainly looks like a Jaguar.

Cheers!

It looks like Lego Luke approves of your Jaguar so far.

I dunno, he's a been sulking all day because I put him back in his pot. He kept drinking my TET.

She’s looking good so far. I remember gluing those damn stagger gears on the 1/72 scale kit I did. The nose gear wasn’t too bad though.
