Erik C Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Hi I am doing research on my upcoming build of 1/48th Kitty Hawk SEPECAT JAGUAR RAF gulf war "sadman" XZ364. One item I keep coming across is the RAF pylons are diffrent from the French version. Which the Kitty Hawk kit uses. Most who have built this kit. Have used Airfix SEPECAT JAGUAR for donor parts for the pylons. I have not been able to locate a kit to become a donor. Could someone with knowledge of the pylon difference. Please explain to me what they are? I have come to the idea of having to scratch building them out of styrene. I just need some direction on what the difference between them are. Thanks in advance for any help. Erik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andyf117 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 The RAF Jag's pylons were slightly smaller, and without the rear pointy bits that the French variants had. It should be possible to simply modify the kit parts - hopefully these pics might help: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
