Thanks for the Foxbat, Juan Angel.

French Jaguars from the 1st mission over Al Jaber AB in Kuwait would be nice.

Twelve Jags from 11 EC attacked the base at 150 ft on january 17 with BLG 66 Bélouga cluster bombs and 250 kg bombs.

Four were hit by enemy fire (Jaguar A91/11-YG by a SA-7 missile, pilot: Cpt Hummel). A bullet went through the canopy and helmet of Cpt Mahagne who was flying Jaguar A108/11-MP. He was bleeding and about to lose consciousness when he landed.

All returned to Al Ahsa except A104/11-EK (Lt Bonnaffoux) and A91/11-YG who landed at the US base at Al Jubail. There, the americans told them exactly what they had flown over: the 3 most defended sites in Kuwait (command post of an iraqi infantry division + Al Jaber AB + command post of an iraqi armoured division). Information sharing improved after that first raid.

The 4th damaged Jaguar was A99/11-EI, flown by Lt Christ (nicknamed "Jesus").

Model-wise, you'd have to modify the nose and fin of Bruno's 1:300 Jaguar GR.1. It's a bit overscale, so for 1:200 I enlarge it by 133% instead of the usual 150%.

Here is one of early Bruno models nr 226 PZL P-7 fighter.Some of them were still in active service in Sept 1939 but not in fighter roles afaik.This one is a bit modified from original.

One of the hardest wing arrangements to build correctly in my experience.This model is a second one-first was a fail.I build 3 of old maly P-11c kits ,only one was good,one so-so and one complete fail.

Model on pictures is about 1:50 scale.

As for that cheap photo booth from ebay I think one or two more stips of LED lights would make it better.Anyone knows where I can find short 6 inch strips of those?

I think that if you cut two windows of 2" X 1" at the sides of the booth, cover them with very thin white paper and install a pair of lamps on them your booth and your pictures will improve a lot. Tony.

Actually, I'm taking this one. I've modified the nose and fin, the basic camo is done (no markings yet apart from roundels) and the model printed but the test-build will have to wait for a sunny day.
