Italeri - Jaguar GR.1 / GR.3
R.A.F. - 1:72 (No.1459)
The Jaguar ground attack aircraft, born in the 1960s
from a collaborative project of the French and British
aviation industry, was used by the Royal Air Force until
the late mid-2000s, demonstrating extraordinary
longevity and operational efficiency. Thanks to its two
turbojet engines it was able to reach and exceed Mach
1.6. It has been used, carrying out numerous missions,
in operational areas characterized by a high level of
complexity, including the Balkans and Iraq. In
particular, the "all-weather" Jaguar Gr. 3 single-seater
version has been significantly updated in avionics and
has been equipped with terrain mapping and GPS tracking
systems to optimize the role of ground attack aircraft.
