    Airfix 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar

    Thanks for the kind words fellas, Neil, I'm no expert buddy most of this is just trial and error, nothing I do can be classed as anything different or better than anybody else can do, and what's the worst thing that can happen ? I get it wrong and repaint / correct the errors...(and there has...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...
