Kittyhawk surprised a few with their very good Sepecat
Jaguar kits in 48th scale, some people often thought why not “upsize”
them? Well their wish has been granted as Kittyhawk send us pictures of the CAD
drawings of the first of the Jaguar family to come this year…
CAD Preview: Sepecat Jaguar
By Kitty Hawk Models
Product number# KH32018
Scale: 1:32nd
scale
Available from Kittyhawk’s Distributors Worldwide
Kittyhawk Models have already given us the 48th
scale Jaguar T.2/T.4 as well as the two single seat kits of the French Jaguar A
and the RAF Jaguar Gr.1 / Gr.3. As we said – why not go bigger?
One can assume that Kittyhawk will want to continue with the three kits they have already researched - but in the larger scale of 1/32nd..
The possibilities for this kit are pretty wide, as it was
used by not only the developer nations of Great Britain and France, but it was
also exported to India, Oman, Ecuador and Nigeria. With various air forces, the
Jaguar was used in numerous conflicts and military operations in Mauritania,
Chad, Iraq, Bosnia, and Pakistan, as well as providing a ready nuclear delivery
platform for Britain, France, and India throughout the latter half of the Cold
War and beyond.
In the Gulf War, the Jaguar was praised for its reliability
and was a valuable coalition resource. The aircraft served with the French Air
Force as the main strike/attack aircraft until 1 July 2005, and with the Royal
Air Force until the end of April 2007. It was replaced by the Panavia Tornado
and the Eurofighter Typhoon in the RAF and the Dassault Rafale in the French
Air Force.
We have some CADs of the new kits, showing the features of
the kits as they are right now. Only the single seater as of this moment - more surely in other variants to come...
– this is the time to add or give any improvements you think
might be warranted – Just contact Kittyhawk if you can add anything to the kit –
I am sure at this stage that input would be. You can contact kittyhawk thru their website.
