Thanks for that mate , I've built most of that from memory of building the kit as a kid but there are a few pieces to add now you've kindly added that.

Thank you again it's been a big help

Update : she's ready for painting now , as you can see in the second photo the engine section is a right mess , I could have corrected it better but I was so fed up with this kit that I just filled the gaps.

Think you have done well to get this far Alan. Hopefully the paint will hide the issues and produce a nice build.

It's not looking too bad after a coat of paint but it will still end up on the shelf with the rest of the pigs I've done over the last few years lol

Hi Alan

The jag looks pretty good to me right way up. I think you're being a bit hard on yourself in calling it a pig! Ok, the build may have been a bit of a struggle but it's all good experience. Doubtless if you were to approach the same kit again you'd know what to expect and any mistakes or build 'bear traps' would be avoided. I think when it's finally complete you'll feel better about it.

All the best

Cheers Paul I appreciate it , it's a good job the worse parts are hidden away underneath , looking at it now your probably right it's not that it's a really bad kit most parts fit together well it's more all of the work you have to do on the interior to make them fit that's the problem oh and the instructions

Thanks again

Coming along nicely Alan.

Cheers Dave it does look a lot better now she's painted

Hi Alan, I think the Jag looks great! The paint work really has lifted it and looks very tidy, just the decals now and she's done.

Looking forward to the finished thing and your closing thoughts on the kit.

Cheers
