1/48 Seamless Intakes for Airfix Sepecat Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A

Description

Bring the Big Cat to Life with True Full-Length Seamless Intakes — Exclusively for Airfix's New Tool Jaguar Kit (#A11010)

The SEPECAT Jaguar was a cold war icon: fast, aggressive, and built to punch deep into enemy territory. Designed as a joint British-French effort, the Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A served the RAF with distinction as a ground-attack workhorse, admired for its speed, ruggedness, and low-level strike capabilities. With its distinctive twin intakes and purposeful stance, the Jaguar looks every bit the part of a frontline warrior — and your model should reflect that.

That’s where this seamless intake set comes in.

Meticulously designed specifically for Airfix’s all-new tool 1/48 Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A (kit #A11010), this upgrade is a direct response to one of the kit’s few shortcomings — the lack of full-length intake trunks. The new Airfix Jaguar is a beautifully engineered kit, widely praised as one of the company’s best in recent years. But without proper intake depth, the realism falls short. This drop-in solution corrects that — in style.

Key Features:

• • ✅ Fits ONLY the new tool Airfix kit (#A11010) — not compatible with older Jaguar molds.

  • ✅ 3D printed in ultra-high resolution (16K) using premium resin — razor-sharp detail with a smooth, seamless interior.

  • ✅ Printed in Zinc Chromate Yellow  — So you don't have to paint deep inside (just paint inside the front part inside the body color.

  • ✅ One-piece design for truly seamless intakes — no putty, no sanding, no joins.

  • ✅ Runs full length into the fuselage, just like the real Jaguar’s intake path.

  • ✅ Includes detailed compressor faces at the rear of each trunk.

    

• ✅ Choice of auxiliary intake doors: Open or Closed

  • Closed: Perfect for aircraft on the ground, engine off, or in high-speed flight.

  • Open: Ideal for dioramas depicting the Jaguar taxiing, idling, or on approach.

Installation is straightforward — only a single bulkhead needs to be cut to allow the intake to pass through. No complex surgery required, and the fit is engineered to drop in cleanly with minimal fuss. Designed by modelers, for modelers.

If you’re building the Airfix Jaguar and want to capture the look and feel of the real aircraft, this seamless intake set is an essential upgrade. It transforms an already-excellent kit into a showstopper — giving your Jaguar the depth and realism it deserves.

Make your Jaguar breathe right.
