Excellent subject from a not so excellent kit, but then again I haven't attempted my Kittyhawk Jaguar yet. Will be watching this one..

The Kittyhawk kit is indeed much better. Enjoy building that one. Also operation Granby scheme?
I'm gonna put mine on hold until these arrive: reskit-models.com/in..49&search=jaguar
The kit nozzles are downright unusable (they don't even fit properly! 😂)

Most definitely will be doing the Kittyhawk in a Granby scheme. I might get those nozzles as well.

Still waiting for the resin nozzles, but otherwise finished... 🙂
Additionally to the aftermarket sets, I've so far scratch built and/or raided from the spares box:
-Intake trunks & turbine fans : 3D printed
-Dorsal and wingtip navigation lights
-Some wiring and extra detailing in the wheel wells
-Canopy lift mechanism and inner frame
-Boundary layer fences: butchered from the overwing pylons
-Pitot tube
-Main gear door pull rods
-Stores stabilizer brackets (are these called this way?) on the free hardpoints
-Got low-vis roundel decals from a Tornado kit
The Heller kit itself is very poor...everything about it, even the decals. I'd say avoid it, unless you want a real challenge :-P

Poor kit or not, you certainly brought it to its full potential! Can't wait to see the finished build with the cans. 😀

Nice job making a silk purse out of a sow's ear! Now, when will we get to see that F-100? 😉
