Italeri 1/72 Jaguar GR.1/3

July 11, 2023 · in Aviation · · 22 · 399

An attempt to get as close as possible to how XZ119 looks in East Fortune now.
Well, apart from the open canopy but I liked the look of that.
A better kit than it's reputation as the fit was fairly good and I didn't have to resort to mounds of filler.

Primed with Neutral Grey.
Painted with,
Colourcoats RAF Gulf Pink Sand, Light Aircraft Grey and Zinc Chromate Yellow.
Tamiya Rubber Black, Nato Black and Nato Green.
Xtreme Metals Steel, Burnt Metal and Alclad Pale Burnt Metal, Mr. Color Metallic Dark Iron
Washed with Flory Dark Dirt.
Finished with Windsor & Newton Galeria Satin Varnish.
Decals from Model Alliance.

Thanks for looking,

Cheers,
Alistair

    Very nice. In the scale modeling world, that molding is old enough that she could be called a ’cougar’ 😉
