Nice

Great choice - want to do my pair too (Heller and ESCI), but they'll have to wait.
You can fit the center line tank though - think I gave you one from the ESCI kit, in exchange for the two wing tanks.

And that's all the tanks you get Karl!

Nice choice. Looking forward to seeing what shakes out.

Will post some pics later, but this is not uber detailed kit, plastic is very like airfix, very soft .
Details dont worry me too much though, it looks like a Jaguar and thats good enough!

You broke it ?
Numpty !
It's like Airfix cos it is Airfix - originally from Airfix, and Heller were owned by Airfix too.
I've got a resin cockpit and wheels for mine, and will use the Heller / Airfix kit parts for the ESCI kit, when I get around to building them both.
