Key Features Pre-cut adhesive masks specifically designed for the 1:48 scale SEPECAT Jaguar model kit Easily achieve crisp, professional paint lines on canopies and clear parts Created using CAD data from the original model kit design for an impeccable fit Removes the necessity for freehand painting or intricate airbrush masking Saves time and enhances precision for a superior finish History: The SEPECAT Jaguar emerged from a joint Anglo-French initiative, intended as a supersonic tactical support and strike aircraft. Its maiden flight was in 1968, and it entered service with both the Royal Air Force and the French Air Force in the early 1970s. Developed by SEPECAT, a collaboration between British Aircraft Corporation and Breguet, the Jaguar was initially designed as an advanced jet trainer but evolved into a formidable ground attack aircraft. The RAF operated the Jaguar GR.1 and its reconnaissance version, the GR.1A, while the French used the Jaguar A for ground attack and the Jaguar E as a two-seat trainer. History continued: Known for its distinctive angular design and powerful twin-engine setup, the Jaguar participated in numerous combat operations, including the Gulf War, the Balkans conflict, and missions over Iraq. Its robust design, excellent low-level handling, and precision strike capabilities made it a valuable asset for both air forces. British Jaguars were retired from RAF service in 2007 after more than thirty years, while French Jaguars remained in service until 2005, eventually replaced by newer aircraft like the Rafale. These innovative masking sets blend traditional scale modelling craftsmanship with advanced design technology. By using the precise CAD files from the original kit moulds, each mask is crafted to fit perfectly, removing the uncertainty from one of modelling's most difficult tasks. The adhesive backing ensures the masks remain securely in place during painting, yet are gentle enough to remove without harming your base coats.

Airfix SEPECAT Jaguar 1/48 Masking Set Make painting your Airfix SEPECAT Jaguar easier and more precise with this dedicated 1/48 masking set. Designed specifically for the compatible Airfix Jaguar model kit, the pre-cut adhesive masks help create clean, crisp paint lines around canopies, clear sections and other detailed areas where careful masking can improve the finished appearance. The masks are created using CAD data from the original model kit design, allowing each shape to follow the intended curves and contours accurately. This provides a straightforward alternative to cutting individual pieces of masking material by hand and helps reduce preparation time before painting. Precision-Cut Masks for the SEPECAT Jaguar The Jaguar's cockpit glazing benefits from accurate masking during the painting stage. These purpose-designed masks protect the transparent areas while leaving the surrounding frames ready for paint, helping you achieve sharp, clearly defined edges without relying on intricate freehand work. The pre-cut format makes the set suitable for both brush painting and airbrush techniques. Once positioned on the relevant clear sections, the masks provide defined boundaries for applying paint and help maintain consistency across the canopy and other transparent areas. Designed from Original Airfix Kit CAD Data Using CAD information from the kit itself allows the masks to be tailored specifically for the 1/48 Airfix SEPECAT Jaguar. This saves time during preparation and gives modellers a more controlled way to approach one of the finer stages of aircraft painting. The set is designed to simplify detailed masking while improving accuracy, making it a practical addition for modellers working on the compatible Jaguar kit. A Useful Accessory for Your Jaguar Build The SEPECAT Jaguar was developed through a joint British and French programme as a tactical support and strike aircraft. It first flew in 1968 and entered RAF and French Air Force service in the early 1970s.
