Hobby Boss 87259 - 1/72 French Jaguar E  [HB-87259]

Hobby Boss 1/72 French Jaguar E Model Kit

The Sepecat Jaguar, a collaborative effort between Britain and France, was originally conceived in the early 1960s to fulfill dual roles as a close air support aircraft and a pilot trainer. Over the decades, the Jaguar has evolved significantly from its original design, demonstrating exceptional capabilities in both attack and training missions.

The Jaguar E variant is particularly noteworthy for its extended front fuselage, accommodating a second cockpit for instructor use. This model also features simplified avionics and a fixed refueling probe on the radome, distinguishing it from the Type A variant.
