Jaguar XX119 FINISHED AT LAST

Hi all,

Finally got XX119 finished today, considering its hand painted and straight out the box I think it looks pretty good, hope u all do too. Comments good or bad feel free to leave em. A BIG thank you must go to BIGVERN1966 CANOPENER AL for their help.

Peter, its a good job 1. Youre now a Mod & 2. You put the nice compliment or Id have to go for a REALLY sarcastic comment LoL

My 1/32 Tigermeet Tornado will be started by the end of the week as I have just the decals on my 1/72 PR7 & a repair job to a friends 1/24 Spit. If I have any spare bits from the Tonka left over, do u still need them?

Sounds like a good deal Peter. My Tonka is 1/32, its the German Airforce Tigermeet one (I can never spell Luftwotsitsname LoL) Revell Kit

As for your Harrier, youve seen my other halfs Airbus colour schemes, plus when I add my PR7 to the ceiling I will be adding her rainbow coloured A380 to the collection too.

Peter,

That's a Wildcat rather than a Hellcat

Nice build Bex.

Peter,

Nice green on the Harrier ... 1 pair of 1/72 Harrier tanks... want em? - they were Airfix (the pylons were MPC - US release of Airfix in the 80s). All sanded and tail-fins thinned... just another selection from my big-box-of-little-bits-I-thought-I-might-need-someday.

Harrier parts

Hello ContrailJJ
That would be neat but not sure if I have them in the kit will have to check. I am on the lookout for a second wing tank for a 1/24 Toronado though..

Ohhh, 'Mega-scale' Tonka - my bad - mis-reading things again (bad bad bad) - but I do have a number of 1/72 Tonka bits...

Cheers,

JJ

Will post more pics of it tonight.

Got the fuselage together and wings are on. The paint schemes brutal... DOes anyone have a colorscheme for it as the directions are very VERY Basic!

Well she's all done but not proud of the colors... The decals are ancient and exploded when I tried to use them! Ever try putting decals together after they have turned into 1000 tiny bits!?
