Sepecat Jaguar 1/144th



The latest box on top of the kit pile is an Academy 1/144th scale Sepecat Jaguar, which I'm going to build and paint as a French Jaguar A. The kit is really nice even though it's an old one but the four missiles it is provided with are way over scale and not at all realistic. I'm thinking of replacing them with a couple of spare AA-2 Atolls, to represent Sidewinders or Matra Magics, then adding a Phimat chaff/flare pod and a Barax jammer on the other pylons, although I'll have to make these myself.

    Hi Jim, Daft question, but how do you know the missiles are over scale? I assume you have 1/144 measurement and these are to long/large. Only ask because I have Academy F4

    Although kit is from SOV-M believe it's academy in disguise :-)

    Hi Gary,

    The only thing they could be is AIM9 Sidewinders or Matra Magics, which are much thinner. The load out is all wrong too. Your Phantom should be okay though?
