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!)

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.
 
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!
 
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!
