Monty Python Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) Following on from the F-5E posting I see that Kitty Hawk are releasing a 32 scale Jaguar. Hopefully a GR3 so as to do in special markings. https://www.cybermodeler.com/special/kits/kit_acft_scale.shtml Edited February 12, 2017 by Monty Python reconspit and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David66 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Nice, I'm personally hoping for a GR-1 so I can make it in Desert Storm markings and a T-2, just because I love twin seat Jaguars...... reconspit, Darren Howie and kalashnikov-47 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaffyMan Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 OHHHHH - So many kits that I have been waiting for!!!!! So there goes this years pension contributions Taff reconspit and David66 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Python Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 In 48 scale they do 3 versions, a French A, a Gr1/3 and a T2/T4. I hope the 32 scale offerings are better than the 48 kits as they have not been well recieved over on Britmodeler. David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Airfix is to Britmodeller what Tamiya is to Hyperscale! To be honest though, I hang out over on Britmodeller and I am a bit of an Airfixophile... I like any kit as long as it's a subject I want....I'd even hug a Starfix kit if they made a 1/32 Dornier 17...

David66 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Yes, but in this case for very good reason. Like their Mirage F.1s, the KH Jags suffer from poor research and poor execution (like so many other KH kits, for that matter). My money says the 1/32 kits will be just as bad. I hope I'm wrong. I've never seen the 1/48th scale Jaguars or Mirage F.1 kits from KH so I can't judge them, but, apparently, they are aware of the formers 'issues' and are starting from scratch on their 1/32nd versions. I have their OV-10B/C Bronco and OS2U Kingfisher and they look like decent kits so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the 1/32nd Jaguars will be much better ! Hoping to get an F-86D and T-28 later on this year....... and really looking forward to the Jaguars ! timvkampen and Nic C.D. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Python Posted February 12, 2017 Author Share Posted February 12, 2017 Hoping to get an F-86D and T-28 later on this year....... and really looking forward to the Jaguars ! I wish somebody would do a slatted wing 1:32 Sabre F4. Would love to do a 66sq a/c namely either XD707 or XD730. These are the 2 aircraft that crashed on Ashop Moor in the Peak District. Nobody knows if they collided in mid air or hit the top of Kinder Scout. Both pilots were killed. They were returning to RAF Linton on Ouse after an unsuccesful interception exercise during operation Dividend. The pilots were told not to fly below a certain height because of bad weather but it seems as though they ignored the advice and flew low down the valley that leads up to Kinder Scout which is the highest point of the Peak District. Witnesses recalled hearing 2 aircraft flying low in the valley before a loud bang was heard. I have visited the wreckage numerous times and if pssible, would mount the model along side a small piece of the wreckage.

Tony T Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Macabre. Yes, 66 Sqn lost five aircraft in two months and eight that year - even the F-104 didn't waste pilots at such a prodigious rate. http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/Aircraft_by_Type/RAF-Sabres.htm As for the Jaguar, it's visibility was poor and accident rate quite high, but it was a fancy piece of kit. I'm hoping to build a Desert Pink Jag with the BAe recce pod and countermeasures pods. I suspect that the pod will need to come from an AM source, but it might be included as a pleasant surprise.

Nicely proportioned. Definitely buying at least one. Thanks for the link, Tony David66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
