I’m told the current 1/72 Heller Jaguar A is in fact the Airfix GR.1 kit with a modified fuselage tooling – has anyone got the current Heller kit?
The Kitech, IDEA and Hobbycraft kits are not ex-Hasegawa, but are very poor quality pirate copies of the Hasegawa kits. Many corners have been cut e.g. fuselage detail mirrored from one side to another in a manner that means both sides are wrong, parts that no longer fit, poor quality decals etc. Well worth avoiding. All 1/72 Jags have faults but the Hasegawa is the best of the bunch by far, and Matchbox the worst.
Damien I agree with everything you wrote.
We are waiting for good Jaguar kit…..
