HEL80327 - Heller - 1/72 JAGUAR A - WWWEB10106118

Preowned, resealed, mint, some parts off sprue

The SEPECAT Jaguar was a joint Anglo-French project between Breguet in France and BAC in Britain. It began in 1965 as an advanced trainer and grew into a supersonic tactical strike aircraft. Two Rolls-Royce/Turbomeca Adour turbofans power it, and its rugged landing gear lets it operate from rough forward airstrips. The single-seat Jaguar A entered French Air Force service in 1973 and became France’s main overseas strike aircraft. It flew combat missions in Mauritania and Chad, during the 1991 Gulf War as part of Opération Daguet, and over the Balkans, then retired in 2005. This Heller kit builds a French Air Force Jaguar A with a full load of underwing stores and markings for two squadrons.
