Hmm....I'll look that one up...ta for the heads up.

A quick Google search and it looks like someone at Corgi didn't research thoroughly enough :-?

Other than that though she is a cracking bird. :yeah:

Oh yeah, she's a 'keeper'...I'm simply wondering how many other purchasers have noticed :DL

The looks good Jim, nice that you get straight and droopy blades.

My only gripe would be that the plough/big dipper stars (from Ursa Major) are 7 sqn's badge, not 18 - they have a red Pegasus.

Back from work and had a 'proper' look......

The website states '18 Sqn' (bottom of page)

The box states '7 Sqn' (thankfully) :DL

All is well in the world of Jim's diecast then. Good, I'm glad it's a keeper.

What's next then Jim?

I think you'll have to move on to some of the bigger cold war jets, V-force stuff maybe? :hmmm:

Another Jaguar arrived yesterday but I haven't had time to photograph her yet.

The V-force (Vulcans, Victors etc) are very tempting but the scale is 1/144 and that is the 'put-off'.

The latest addition...a Sepecat Jaguar 6 Sqn AA35412...370/1200

Very nice, :yep:

Jimbuna 06-26-11 08:59 AM

Yes, I have a soft spot for the Jaguar.

Oberon 06-26-11 10:27 AM

She doesn't get a lot of the attention that other British jets have got, like the Tonka and Tiffie, a sound aircraft though, good for beating the Rush hour traffic on the motorways:

First time I've seen that :DL

Herr-Berbunch 06-26-11 10:57 AM

My first experience of losing a pilot on station was a Jag crash at coltishall in '96. Amazing how the whole unit feels it.

The best thing whilst at Coltishall was the simulated airfield attacks where four uber-low Jags would appear simultaneously over the airfield, at great speed. :yeah:

Also recall a C-141 taking off fully laden en-route to Greece with F-16 spares, I was on air traffic's balcony and we all had bets as to how much runway it'd use compared to the Jags (who used most of it), we all thought equal or greater than a Jag but reality was near half!!!

Jimbuna 06-26-11 11:24 AM

Low flying Jag (an old one)
