| This new decal sheet from Model Alliance has markings for 9 different BAe/Sepecat Jaguar GR1/1A's with the Royal Air Force and is available in 1/72 and 1/48 The sample for this review is 1/72. | ||
|
The Jaguars on this sheet include a variety of paint schemes from grey on grey to a grey/grey/white winter camo scheme used for arctic exercises. Also included is an anniversary scheme with plenty of red on the topside to a low viz grey scheme. This
sheet covers RAF Jaguars in the following schemes. |

| The decals themselves are flawless quality and very clearly printed on the 1/72 sample I have before me. Colours look solid and will cover very well, but the decals appear thin and of a very high quality. You will have a hard time picking which Jaguar to build as the selection is very large and varied. | |
|
| The decal sheet
includes all special markings for each of the 9 aircraft as well as a
complete set of stencils for one aircraft
The instruction sheets include side view colour drawings of each aircraft and 4 view colour drawings of 4 of the aircraft included on this decal sheet. All necessary information about painting is included as well as BS#'s, FS Federal Standard numbers, Humbrol, Modelmaster and Xtracolour. For me the most interesting scheme was the tri color winter camo scheme, but I'm sure you'll find a scheme that catches your fancy. One of the jets will interest fans of the TV show "The Saint"......as one Jaguar on this sheet features the stick man image from that show on the tail of the Jaguar The production run is limited, so don't delay if this sheet interests you. |
