it will be done in time  - It will be a huge bago'shite .

Other than completing this for this GB it would have been binned by now .🫤

Odd that I wanted to do two classic British jets that I love and have built before and yet none of it come out well 

Reckon the sandpit will be far more me .

I hear ya Guy some times it seems all can go to hill in a hand basket quick like.I had like three builds in a row fight it to the end one of them I gave away the Eduard P-51 it was not worthy.

PW - Nice work getting it into shape and really looking the part.  Amazed how time has damaged the kit.  Wow.  Love the paint work.

Hang in there PW - it's looking great!  Nothing like a deadline to light a fire in you, huh?  I'm probably going to have a couple more late nights on my JRS-1 to meet the deadline

You're almost there, keep it going as the Jaguar is so close to crossing the finish line.

Nothing like the older kits from the 70's (back in the 70's) to make us appreciate what we have now. But somehow back then, they were just so enjoyable to build, where we didn't worry about anything other then getting it built and on the display shelf - no display cases back then either. It was all about fun. 

My turning point came when I found the Squadron Shop in Syosset and joined a local IPMS club. Filling seams and air brushing were new found skills and those two skills were the heart of my modeling for years to come.

This is 1994 tooling🫤 .....Junk ! I reckon their 1975 1/72 jag is probably faired better . Filling seams in 2024 is like learning to set point on your old car ....it shouldn't be needed / should not leave the factory like that for my money .

Finished  ...made this kit twice now and like the Hasegawa Phantom FGR ( which is older and nicer) I would'n't do it a third time . Hopefully someone will make a nicer new Jag in the coming years

Looking at the photographs, you looked the Jaguar square in the teeth and won the battle. Agreed, a poor kit but the results, at least from my end surely show the kit be built by a talented modeler. 🏆
