I finally came across some Brit decals that I was able to apply to my 1/72 'Cat' so I could wrap it up. Camo was painted free-hand.

Another view.

Interesting to note that the Jaguar could carry a bigger bomb load farther and with 1/10th the crew than the B-24 behind it.
Congratulations on a finished build, Bill. It came out well.

I did not build this model, nor the F7F-1 Tiger(Blue Angel), nor the B.A.E. Hawk. (along with a Cutlass, various MIG's, Fury, and a Voodoo)
All of these were actually 'already built' kits that I got from Cliff a few years ago. I have been using them as painting "targets", testing my canopy masking and free hand camo's, to (hopefully) get better with my air brush. I am not investing time into seam clean up, so you will see seams that could have been blended or corrected. Currently they are in various stages of 'finish'.
I thought Cliff would appreciate seeing them finished.
On a note about the Pegasus on the side of the Jaguar:
There was another decal underneath that scotch tape could not remove. So instead of jeopardizing the paint I decaled over it..... hence the silvering :(
When its on the shelf, you tend not to notice it.

Great job Bill on the Jaguar. That is a really nice model. Quite a collection you got there.
Hi Bill,
Nice looking Jag GR1 as the others have said. I've got the Hasegawa kit which looks pretty nice as a build. I got to see a GR1 at an Ottawa Airshow years back where it likely flew down from Labrador where NATO did low level practice flight we often got German and Italian Tornado's too.
