About product

Airbrakes of the Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A (Aires, 1:48)

A resin set from the firm Aires that replaces the airbrakes on the SEPECAT Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A model in 1:48 scale from Airfix. It is not an aircraft kit but a detail accessory for those who want to show the brake panels extended, and with them the bays and the internal structure that nobody would see with the brakes closed.

Why extended brakes

The airbrakes of the Jaguar sit on the underside of the fuselage and open out to the sides; on their inner face are characteristic perforations and stiffeners. Most models are built with the brakes closed, because the plastic is simplified and the bays are empty. Extended brakes give a model dynamism at once and reveal that the builder took trouble over the detail, which is why resin sets of this kind are cast with a well worked back to the panels and with the bays filled in.

Recommended procedure

  • Wash the castings in warm soapy water; the mold release agent would otherwise stop the paint from sticking.
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw; never snap them off, as the thin edges of the panels crack easily.
  • Level the face after cutting, sand wet and with respiratory protection.
  • Try it dry: the opening in the fuselage usually has to be sanded out to the dimension of the casting.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); for castings with a large contact face a thicker version helps.
  • Paint the inside of the panels and the bays and bring them out with a wash before you fix the parts in place.

Who the set is for

For more experienced modelers building the Jaguar in 1:48 who want to display the model on the ground with the brakes open. It calls for work with resin and precise adjustment of the seating.

This is an accessory, not a kit on its own. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

Thinner and more sharply cast panels and the detail of their backs and of the bays, thanks to which the brakes can be displayed extended convincingly.

As a rule yes: reckon on dry fitting and on sanding the opening out so that the casting seats without strain.

The set is rather for the more experienced. Working with resin means cutting casting blocks, sanding with respiratory protection and gluing with cyanoacrylate.
