Description

Although the SEPECAT Jaguar actually started its development life as a joint Anglo-French project to produce an advanced new jet training aircraft for service with both nations, it later became a highly capable strike platform, with some aircraft further developed to undertake the pilot training and conversion roles. 

Always regarded as an attractive aeroplane, the tandem cockpit arrangement of the two-seat Jaguars made these aircraft even more appealing from an aesthetic perspective, with many enthusiasts regarding the training variant of the Jaguar as perhaps the best-looking of all Royal Air Force aircraft from the Cold War era. 

You can now build this beauty in 1/48 scale model kit form.
