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.

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.

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.
