Fun with a 144 scale jaguar

[Pantherman]

Decided to get a 1/144 scale for a bit of fun and it was really cheap. Would be interesting to see if I can make anything that resembles what it should look like. Pantherman

Thought I had better post the box art to show what I hope to achieve. Pantherman

That is tiny. I would not be able to see all the parts.

Little bit more of this is done. It's all assembled and primed, I'm doing the missiles separately as easier to paint.

1/144 can be a real challenge. Have fun with it

I have a 1/144 biplane also. Think I will leave that one for a while as I have no idea how I'm going to do the rigging....... Pantherman

I can't imagine the pain of doing 1/144 rigging.

Your box for the biplane says scale is 1/72 not 1/144. Is there something I am missing?

Yes, a few of my brain cells. I should look at the box before I comment. It should be a breeze to put together at that scale....not. Pantherman

All of the planes I assemble are 1/72. Not because I love the scale, but because I have problems with not enough room to display them. They are definitely tougher and slower to assemble at that scale.

I like how British aircraft look so sharp and sleek.

Rigging? Oh man that would be so difficult for me.

I know what you mean. I am having to squish models together to make room. I recently installed floating shelves to host my USS Texas and a German submarine.

You could always leave it with some spider mites and see what they come up with!

Anyone have experience with this stuff?
