Jaguar IS | Full Build | Indian Air Force | 1/72

#indianscalemodeler
Hasegawa’s Jaguar Gr.1/A kit provides the option to make the SEPECAT (Société européenne de production de l'avion d'école de combat and d'appui tactique) Jaguar International in the ground attack/strike configuration. However, a bit of putty and judicious use of the hobby knife can convert the standard Jaguar Gr.1 to the Indian Air Force’s unique Jaguar IS aircraft.

Build:
The kit was completed pretty much out of the box. The rest of the kit went together well, except for the airbrakes. Hasegawa should be embarrassed by the lack of the part’s fit with the fuselage and the improper angle at which they are in the open position. The lack of air brake perforations is also unfortunate as the cover art shows these prominently. On the plus side, the kit includes an accurate access ladder and options to build at least three versions of the Jaguar (A, S, or IS).
Painting:
Indian Air Force Jaguar ISs sport the boring all-grey radar-absorbing scheme. Famously known as "Tipnis Grey". This time I distilled a batch of "Tipnis Grey" as I plan to build aircrafts for modern IAF fleet which are all in boring-gray. I do love the colorful ones, but I find it difficult to get my hands on squadron insignia and the squadron insignia is absent in the all-grey scheme.
Decals:
I used BrightSpark decals for roundels and for serial no. JS 225, my good friend Sherbir "Swing-Wing" Singh helped me in printing them and ship to me. Thanks a bunch Bhai! Hasegawa's decals do not have the 'No-Step' warning decals though.
I hope you enjoy this full-build video and kindly request you to subscribe to my channel. It is encouraging to see subs grow and inspires me to put out high-production content. Thank you!
