Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
And another update, Started off with a 'naked' Jag, applied all the decals..(there wasn't that many.lol) and she had a bath on flory models dark dirt wash. Also started on the weapons, and washes applied to the undercarriage. Next up a satin coat and oil stains /weathering of the...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
And a question for anybody who may have worked on these aircraft or has more knowledge about this area, in the picture below I've arrowed the rear of the lower tail section, now for some reason I keep seeing images of the Jaguar with this area fully 'plated' out in bare metal, and then I've...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Had some time to make a start on the exhaust shields, I've gotta say I'm loving MRP Paints.. their 'metal' colours are perfect. And a quick test of the resin cans... not bad at all. Also managed to sort the Gun ports out, Airfix would have you paint this brick red, however there's...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Finally had a delivery of the paint..so I thought i'd throw a bit at her, Granted the pics seem a little dark, ( the bottom pic has been lightened and sharpened up to show the detail) but in normal light the pre shade / marbling worked well. Gonna let this dry completely for a couple of days...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
And a bit of marbling, not my best, but it'll do what I need it to do.. (quick question, when you guys 'black base' do you bother marbling the undersides of the aircraft ?, Been watching a few build vids and most of them do the whole aircraft, however I can't see the purpose of this as the...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Had a bit of time to finish of the main parts of the build, and throw some primer at her, totally love the way it looks with a splash of Mr surfacer 1500 black...never used this before and I'm really pleased with the results..(I even went a bit 'thick' on one area and it levelled down...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Managed to throw some extra thin at this over the weekend, it's starting to look less like a load of plastic bits and more like a Jaguar, It goes together perfectly, with no gaps, (I have ended up using a micro smear of filler on a couple of bits but that's down to user error and not...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Right then, the seat is finally done...(finally they say !!..lol), straps repainted a lighter shade for contrast, decals added, and a couple of extra bits of paint ,(yellow handles and the red 'blob' on the headbox)done.. to be honest I could easily mess around for ages with various bits on...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Had a couple of hours this morning to throw a bit of paint at the seat.. needs a tiny bit more work on it, whatd'ya think ? I'm not too sure about the colour of the droge chute..(the bag thing on the top, as I can't find any pics of the top of the seat). Also, anybody got any idea's if...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Right then.. had a look at the pilot after giving him a prime and black wash... he looks better, not 100% sure about him, it's an improvement, I've also ordered a replacement resin bang seat..luverly stuff indeed. Had a bonus find as well, whilst messing around with the Airfix pilot I found...- langy71

Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar
Made a start on the Airfix Jaguar, First impressions of this new mould version are absolutely brilliant, Airfix really did their homework with this kit, It's literally a 'shake and bake' kit, everything looks perfectly designed to just fall together and all the main components fit together...- langy71

RAF uniform blue
Thanks for the advice guys, So Last night I figured I should be able to mix up a 'random' RAF uniform blue, can't be that hard can it ? started with Vallejo model air Blue (71.004) and added some violet grey (71.128) and light grey (71.414) and to the mix until it looked 'about' right, ended...- langy71

RAF uniform blue
Currently just about finished with my Kotare 1/32 Spitfire and fancied adding a pilot to it to give it some 'life', grabbed a nice resin pilot, but I seem to have hit a snag with which brand makes the closest looking RAF uniform blue, I've read all manner of posts around the web stating this...- langy71

Latest Acquisitions (2025)
Been completely out of the modelling 'game' for a while, major mojo loss, However my son purchased the 1/48 Hawker Hunter from Airfix for my christmas present and that got me fancying building a couple of aircraft to break up the armour I normally do, so a quick wander around the interwebs and... -

After having my car written off a couple of months ago, and fighting the insurance company for a decent pay off for it.. (which i got in the end), I grabbed another insignia..(I'm a vauxhall man..lol), this car developed an 'adblue pump' issue within a couple of days, so it was returned to the... -
Airfix delivery times
Hi folks, I ordered the 1/48 Hawker Hunter from the Airfix sale on the 18/11/24 and was wondering how long it takes for them to actually ship items, It's now the 24/11/24 and I've not even had an update telling me it's 'left the warehouse'... dropped them an e-mail asking for an update but had...- langy71
