Good catch there H.
Just 'won' this Typhoon, for £10 including shipping!
The beautifully detailed Neomega cockpit set will be shared between the Heller and Esci Jaguars, with the 'spare' MkIV seat going to a Lightning (and the Lightning seat going into an Academy Mirage!), so good value for use with three models! (Which is why I bought it, as I'd normally scratch-build such detail!)

[Wayne Little]

Cheers Evan, thanks man....

Look like interesting bits there Wayne.
Thanks guys, and Igor, the resin is 1/48th scale. I accidentally received someone els'es order originally, for 1/72nd scale Su- 17 cockpit, and it was equally as good and well detailed. I'll be ordering a couple of seats and some machine guns from them at some stage.

Never thought I'd see you do resin Terry. Be careful as it will just lead to stronger stuff...

Nah! Only got it as I can share the parts between the two Jags, and swap around other bits for the Lightning and Mirage. Saves some scratch-building on the Heller kit, but the ESCI Jag will still have the cockpit scratched, except for the seat, which will be from the Heller kit - with a few additions!
There's a good chance I might start soon on both Jags together - when I eventually get out of the modelling Doldrums!

 

[A4K]

Today is that day Terry, please start the Jags!!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Second that call!

 

[Lucky13]

Hear! Hear!

Gone noisy in here all of a sudden!
Ok, OK, I'll make a start soon, once I've made more inroads on a commission, and finished a couple of writing jobs.
It'll be interesting to see how the forthcoming Italeri Jaguar stacks up against the new Kitty Hawk Jag kit, and what price it will be - might even be the same kit, the way things work these days. I'm tempted by the KH kit, but at £42 it's a bit pricey, especially as I wouldn't be using things like the open engine and gun bays, and have two jags already, which I hope will turn out as good, with a bit of extra work.
That said, if someone releases a complete set of Jaguar resin wheels, it could be helpful. I've got a set for the ESCI kit, which really needs them. They're designed for the Airfix/Heller kit, but for some unaccountable reason, the nose wheel is not included in the set, just the main wheels!
