Interesting, Profil24 does a lot of good quality Le Mans cars so it'll be interesting to see how they cope with a 1/32 Shag.

It’s nice to see a large scale Jag’ of any sort but at €350.00 that will be beyond the pocket of the majority.

That looks super nice.. so 350 for a Jaguar and 350 for a Rafale... Damn

Looks tempting but long live styrene!  Jaguars look best in pairs.

At those prices, I’ll be staying retired, even though I’d dearly love both a Rafale and a Jag’ on my shelves. 
They both look amazing kits.

A definite for me to sit along side my Buccaneer and tornado

Not a biggie. You've got a surplus kidney. Or your firstborn. Enough to buy both the French and Brit Jaguar AND a Rafale. Maybe all 3 Rafales...?

Shape looks really off to me, intakes seem undersized, windscreen squashed, the part at the front of the windscreen should be integral to the fuselage but is not on the kit, the entire windscreen should be angled down towards the front but isn’t. Complete hash and I only briefly looked at the pic and don’t know the Jaguar very well. Nuts to want that much money for something so poor.

Concur with the first statement. I am no Jag aficionado either, but something's screaming "off" to me concerning the inlets, outer wing leading edge and nose area (and I haven't yet got to see its underside and rear). 

I'm sure all those things can be fairly easily fixed by a skilled resin modeller, and so with a bit of extra work it'll be stunning; but I'm going to be just looking at this one.

I'm a huge supporter of any enterprise bringing us modelers the kits we so much long for, but there's no chance I'll pay a dime -let alone 350 Euros- for a kit with such poor design with unmistakable inaccuracy.

 

I am glad the 3D stuff widens the horizon and we will probably see many kits available in future as it seems many people will plunge into such production. The problem is, many people will try to do it and not all will be successful. Most will fail to produce accurate shapes and many will fail to even deliver, both of which is an equally deep concern for me as a modeler.

 

Having lost quite some bucks on the Scaleworx guy and his Mirage F.1, I have my serious reserves before I decide to buy a kit from a no-name somebody again, still of course only on the ultimate condition that the design must be specifically created for modeling featuring a well research and the kit (?) is not a 3D printed version of a poorly designed 3D model that probably was created for games and aircraft simulations in the first place.

And maybe John (ScaleWorx) is converting to 3D printing , as the Mirage was planned in resin casting, who knows...

I would be more than happy if that is the case, which surely does not require being so mysterious and silent in the meantime.

I would definitely be interested in a 1/32 Jaguar. And a Rafale too for sure. But they have to be, like any other kit I may be convinced to pay some extra money for, smartly scaled down copies of the original. I would not want to pay at all for a kit that lacks accuracy for I know it will hurt my eyes every time I look at it on my shelf. Then we can start talking about price which of course is a major factor in my choosing whether or not to buy. An expensive kit may be worth to buy it depending on how much one wants it but I would not buy a kit with remarkable inaccuracy even if reasonably priced.
