Matchbox Jaguar Gr1

[Spellbinder99]

I picked up an original issue of this kit the other day very cheap as I remembered it included AS-30 missiles, or did I mis-remember?
It does include four missiles that look similar to the drawings I have seen and they would look good on a TSR.2 so any help is appreciated.

As an ex-Jag fixer, I don't mind another Jag kit anyway and I have a bagged Hasegawa two-seat Jag kit that included a few duplicate sprues so I can fix up the somewhat crude Matchbox undercarriage if I want.
One thing that did strike me was that it gives the option of the early intakes with splitter plates so I mild WIF may be in order, even the attractive option of a Navalised Jaguar springs to mind....

Cheers

Navalized.........RCN. Sounds like a winner !

Yeah, I had one Matchbox Jag in 1/72 aeons ago, and it included the AS-30s and one centerline rocket pod/fuel tank.
Its remains lie in an abandoned corner of my studio, waiting for some plastic surgery.

The missiles bear a 'passing resemblance' to AS30s.

The first WHIF I ever did back in 1983 or so was a Sea Jaguar - graft the nose of a Sea Harrier onto the front, add upper wing pylons for Winders, Sea Eagles on inner wing plylons

If you're gunna try and tart her up, don't forget that the gear bays don't exist on this kit......I don't mean that they are basic, or lacking in detail, I mean that they quite literally aren't there!
