This is a rebuilt
model of my earlier Jaguar T2 which I have posted here a couple of years ago.
The model I had built in all grey tone was damaged beyond repair; at least that
what I had thought back then when it was damaged. But I found it difficult to
just throw the kit away even though it was damaged. And slowly as I built more
and more kits, I finally got the confidence to rebuild this kit.
I had bought model
alliance decal sheet which came with the option to build 3 different IAF
versions and that confirmed my plans of rebuilding this kit again.

I
contacted Italeri to send me spares for the damaged part. Though it cost me
similar to buying the new kit itself , it was after all rebuilt and I wanted to
re-use old parts as much as possible. I had to let go of cockpit detailing as I
could not locate the parts and Italeri could not send spares for the cockpit.
The aircraft was finished in two tone camo belonging to Sqn no 27 Flamming
Arrows of the Indian Air Force,
