About product

Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a pylons (1:48, Aires)

A detail accessory cast in resin, not an airplane model. The set replaces the external stores pylons of the British Sepecat Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a ground-attack fighter in 1:48 scale and is shaped for the Airfix kit. The resin pylons have crisper edges and finer detail than the plastic out of the box and carry the stores and tanks better. The set is made by Aires, a Czech specialist in resin detail sets.

The real subject

The Sepecat Jaguar was a British and French single-seat ground-attack aircraft built to attack targets on the ground. The British GR.1 and GR.1a versions served with the RAF and carried a wide range of ordnance under the wings and the fuselage, which makes the pylons one of the visually prominent features of the model.

Fitting and painting

  • Check that your Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a base kit is the Airfix one in 1:48 scale, because the set is shaped for it.
  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water so that no mold release agent is left on the surface.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a sharp scalpel and sand the surface down, always with respiratory protection.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); cement for plastic does not bond resin.
  • Lay down a primer; pylons are usually painted in the shade of the underside of the aircraft, and a wash and dry brushing on the edges bring out the detail.

Who the set is for

  • For modelers building the Airfix Jaguar GR.1/GR.1a in 1:48 scale.
  • For those who want more faithful pylons than the plastic out of the box.
  • Working with resin calls for at least basic experience.

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, the ordnance, paints and glue are not included in the package. Use a respirator and ventilate when sanding resin.
