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.

Agreed, you'll be pleased to know that is the scheme I'll be going for!Stikpusher wrote: They look meanest in the wrap around camo

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.

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!
