  India Republic Day 

 

Well the Indian Air Force mainly uses the Jaguar 2 version for training purposes, but recently started using it for combat operations. The aircraft I chose is of Indian Air Force with serial number JT 069. Well Jaguar is one of the oldest aircraft Indian Air Force operates. SEPECAT Jaguars have served the Indian Air Force for over 25 years in five squadrons comprising three versions: the Strike version (IS); the Maritime strike (IM) and the two seat trainer (IB). The IB of this build is JT069 of the No. 14 Squadron, The Bulls, based in Ambala, India.

Well building the kit was pretty easy and the whole kit fitted properly after a little bit of sanding and filling.

Well the Air force recently replaced the two tone dark green scheme with all gray scheme. Even though it’s quite boring, I decided to stick to all gray scheme. I hand painted the whole kit with help of Academy enamel paints.

Well the decals provided were pretty good.  Well you will find the serial no (JT 069) decal missing, because I didn’t have time to print one which I will be doing later.  Sorry for that.   Well decals supplied with the kit were pretty good but I got the Indian Air Force decals from Mr.Murli Rajan.
