Hi all,

Have always been amazed how there is always someone who knows the answer to a question somewhere no matter how strange the question.

Anyhow, i have recently bought a Jaguar kit and am actually hoping i could find some photo's of the interior cockpit ie, seating colours, interior detail so on and so forth, however all my ventures to this point have been unsuccessful.

If there is anyone out there who knows of some photo's, or who has done a jaguar before and can help, i'd be very thankful.

I got the Italeri 1/72 Jaguar E Kit, it's ok. I'm not that great a modeller so I was a little annoyed when i found that some of the pieces don't match up. So i decided I'd remake the seats using those awesome photos i was able to get from the site you lead me too until i could think of some way to correct the problem. Typical of italeri to do this to me hehe. Have you made one before?

Hi Matt,

I first built the 1/72 Airfix GR Mk 1 back in the early nineties. Cockpit is really basic, but overall it looks like a Jaguar to me, although it does have raised panel lines. I do have a couple more in the stash. Next one I will try my hand at rescribing the panel lines.

My hamfisted skills don't match up to most of what is posted here, but I try to do better each time.

I suppose that is a blessing i didn't realise i had until now, the italeri kit came with inscribed panel lines! Detail in the cockpit is pretty good for 1/72 but i think i can make it even better with that site you gave me. Will be working on it today.

If you like 1/48 scale (my general preference), Airfix also does a nice GR3A:

I think that i will eventually move to the 1/48 scale, but at the moment i need to work on my technique, and its way cheaper to work with 1/72.

You wouldn't know of some harrier cockpit photo's by any chance, i can start a new post but i thought i'd see if you had a another sweet site up your sleeve first.

I don't have much, just some cockpit pics of an AV-8B:
