I agree on the amazing B-29 build . The interior detail is awesome , particulary all the brush painted detail .
Very inspiring …[t$t]
I’ve been building a few kits over the past two and a half years for the Korean War GB and I was scrolling through some of the pages from 2010 and found a photo I posted of some kits I got for my birthday back then and one of them was the 1/72 Academy B-29 . http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/29/t/129001.aspx?sort=ASC&pi240=21
After looking at the incredible work Z square 8 is doing , I’m mighty tempted to have a go at my academy kit once the Jaguar is done .

Great WIP pic’s guy’s .
BTW Bish , I must say I’m really starting to appreciate the simple but attractive lines of the GR-1 Jaguar .
One of my general aircraft reference books has it listed as one of the most cost effective attack aircraft of modern times . The hasegawa kit went together reasonably well and the Italeri kits look to be similar in their build instruction sheets . I do like how the wing sits right over the top of the fuselage , italeri took the same approach with their kit as did hasegawa ; No messy wing to fuselage join to sand and putty !
I wonder what Hannants have in the way of after market decals for other non Gulf War Jaguars , I’ll have to have a browse and see .
