Ranked at skill level 2, the 1:72 scale SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1 makes a comeback to the Airfix range in Vintage Classic form. With the tooling created in 1970 and the iconic pack illustration on the box front created by Roy Cross in 1975, capturing the Jaguar's effective tactical strike capabilities.
Overall, the kit contains a total of 79 parts with two schemes to choose from, and once built, the kit measures an overall length of 214mm and a width of 120mm.
The aviation product of a 1960s Anglo-French collaboration, the SEPECAT Jaguar was a highly effective tactical strike/attack, close air support and reconnaissance aircraft in service with the Royal Air Force for an impressive 33 years.
Featuring a high-set wing and long undercarriage, the Jaguar could be operated from grass airfields and roughly prepared landing strips. This ability was famously demonstrated to the nation's media on 26th April 1975, when the second production Jaguar GR.I XX109 made a parachute-assisted landing on the carriageway of the soon-to-be-opened M55 motorway near Blackpool.
