Jaguar was an immense plane.
English Electric Lightning though FTW. They don't make planes like this anymore

starting to get into this now, i dont think the standard cockpit on my Jaguar is very good tbh, not very detailed and a bit simple, but you can actually buy upgrade kits, one is called NeOmega Resin. So iv bought one of these highly detailed cockpit kits for it.
Some examples

Today my Buccaneer + Extras arrived from Vernon off ebay, nice guy IMO
Shot of few of the bits from the kit
And the NeOmega resin cockpit, the details on this are absolutely fantastic and will look even better when painted up
And the photo etched details, not sure what im supposed to do with these but im sure il figure it out
Looking forward to doing this one

Mine would be fucking awful. I have no patience. i remember doing one years ago and the blob of glue that held on a wing mirror was bigger than the wing mirror itself.

Why would a Plane need desert camo? Is there a desert in the sky? And why would it be parked in the middle of the desert

its for when they are parked on or near the runway so they arent easly spotted from to sky and bombed
parked there when the Iraq war was on in the 90's

decided to crack on and do a couple more jobs on the jag as im getting impatient
cutout one of the masks for the cammo
sprayed one part that can be sprayed, and this is the colour of the lightest parts of the cammo, eg the bits not cutout in the mask
got a spot on colour match imo

Surely the runway would stand out as im assuming its going to be made out of grey concrete and not sand
