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

As someone who was also burnt by the Scaleworx Mirage, I wouldn't say that Profil24 are a 'no-name' outfit - they've been around for years. They're a low volume producer of resin Le Mans cars but they occasionally produce the odd aircraft kit as well.

I am very sure that a Jaguar and Rafale will come on day in styrene. Same as F-22. Just wait. I am not willing to pay 350€

I hope and pray that you're right , BUT I have a sneaking suspicion that the fact the resin models of aircraft exist will put off manufacturers .  which might explain why my heart sinks every time HPM produce a superb kit of a model I really want to build knowing there's no way it will never now appear in plastic.. Nor that Revell will ever produce a 1/35 Gigant !

I'm a little perplexed[not unusual for me],why would a IM company be put off from doing a subject that's already in resin? The resin/3D kits cater to a small segment of the kit builders A, the price B the availability of said kit. The IM companies would cater to the larger portion of the market for cheaper though perhaps not quite as detailed. IF there's a market for the subject then and lately there seems to be a heighten interest  for the jag ,cue up Airfix with a new tool coming out [ 48th but still].Perhaps I'm missing something [again not unusual for me] I would venture to say that MOST of us can't really afford nor want to deal with resin. We could really use an option for the "common man", we like to build too.

Thinking that we almost had a 1/32 Jaguar injected by kittyHawk, who gave it up to prior the Mirage 2000...

Nostalgia, nostalgia

For all this time, I still cry that this one never came to the shelves:

Sorry with "cross posting", but I did not find the same information/discussion that we had here, and yet I am sure we got it at the time

I didn't mean them in particular by no-name. Nice that they've been around for some time, which on the other hand makes thing worse if their kit features such inaccuracies but is tagged with 350 Euros. I have no idea how they are doing with car kits so I'm unable to comment on that product range but maybe they should stick to Jaguars on four wheels only and leave the Jaguars with wings to others more competent in that area.

I would love to see one in plastic. Trumpeter are you listening? 

[tomprobert]

For €350 I think I’ll stick with my ID vac that’s been slowly creeping up my to-do list. I wonder if they sell me the jet pipes and gear as that’s what’s currently holding me back…

That was Trumpeter!? why in the blue blazes didn't this go through?

Because the designer, Mr Song, left Trumpeter to co-found Kitty Hawk before the design was finalised. Trumpeter obviously lost interest after that.

Allan Wilson is back

I cant believe that it was over 16 years ago that the Trumpeter Jag first broke cover and its not been considered since, what with the advancement of moulding and resin casting / 3d printing in the meantime. 

 

Ill hover round the Profi24 release but not commit as ive got loads of stuff to build yet but if a reasonably priced Jag breaks cover then great, in the meantime, ill save my pennies.
