Very nice, pity that you are building this before June or it would be eligible for the Group Build. Looking good though  :thumbsup:

Very nice. Not quite sure about the folding wingtips. Is it worth it? Other than that,  I can't wait to see it finished

I have to agree on the tiny folded wingtips.
For the rest, I have always preferred the two-seater. Aesthetically a better looking plane than the single-seater.
Looking forward to see the result!

Guys, the Grumman Tiger had tiny folding wingtips like that and proportionally, the A-5 Vigilante's folding sections wern't much bigger. If your plane doesn't fit on the elevator by 30cm and there's a convenient structural joint 40 cm from each wingtip, that's what you do.

So the Sea Jag gets to keep both of her cannons even though she's a two-seater? ;)

And here I am, always thinking it was to take up less room in the ship's hangar. it's just because of the bloomin' elevator! :blink:

I like it, the probe is very French looking.  :thumbsup:

Suggest the backstory comes with an engine upgrade- the Jag came up short there for carrier operations.

Works for me.  :thumbsup: :bow:

That's one TALL nosewheel leg!  :o
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, I totally agree, but, the Jaguar has a wingspan of 28ft 6, and the Harrier GR9 a wingspan of 30ft 4, so the Jag would fit (widthwise at least) down a British elevator.
