Sensors for the SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a in 1:48 scale from Quickboost (Aires) - a resin replacement for the small sensors and probes on the airframe, intended for the Airfix kit. It is not a kit but a detail accessory.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of resin sensors and probes that replaces the corresponding small parts on the Jaguar airframe. It is NOT an aircraft kit - it is an accessory for a base model that you buy separately; glue and paints are not in the package. The manufacturer of the accessory states it for the 1:48 Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a kit by Airfix.
Small sensors are exactly the class of parts that injection-molded plastic falls short on. A mold cannot render a needle or a sharp edge without draft, so the kit parts come out thick, soft and blurred - and the larger the model, the more it shows. A resin casting keeps a fine, thin and crisply defined profile that looks right for the scale once painted. It is the classic upgrade of the little work, plenty to see kind: you swap a handful of inconspicuous little parts and the whole airframe looks a class sharper.
The SEPECAT Jaguar was a British-French attack aircraft, the result of a joint program of the two countries. The twin-engine machine with its long slender fuselage was originally conceived as a trainer, but it grew into a full-blooded tactical attack aircraft; the GR.1 and GR.1a versions served with the Royal Air Force. Jaguar airframes were gradually fitted with further sensors, aerials and probes over their service life - which is exactly why this class of parts decides whether a model matches a particular period of service.
First wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent - the surface tends to carry mold release agent and paint would not hold on it. The parts are cut off the casting block with a saw or a sharp knife; snapping a thin probe off means breaking it. For gluing, do not use liquid polystyrene cement, it simply does not work on resin - reach for super glue, or for epoxy. Do any cleaning up wet, because resin dust is harmful to health.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
