SUPACAT JACKAL BY AIRFIX

[MrT]

I had thought to do a review of this kit, but I lost all the text I had written about 6 months ago. So I will go ahead and finish as a build on this forum.

This is a 1/48 scale Supacat Jackal released by Airfix.

It has one main item that needs replacing.....the tires so I will replace them with new resin ones.

I will be also adding some PE details from BlackDog.

Here are some images of the contents of the box.

Stay tuned more to come.

Oh I've done a few.

Ok the first order of business are the suspension assemblies.

Some serious ejection marks to remove.

These are really detailed, but really delicate.

Mounting the supension units in lower hull.

Then things picked up steam. I finished the lower hull and interior floor assembly and painting. This needed to done before moving foward.

So out of the box you can position the wheels? Wish more kits allowed that.

Yes you can if you don't glue everthing down.

Now we begin to build the cabin. It is also time to break out the detail stuff because a lot of it will be worked into the assembly as we go.

The first part of the interior is the drivers compartment back wall and roll bar.

Some detail items are added and painted as we go because things will be too confined to do it later.

More later.
