Hobby Boss 87258 Jaguar A 1/72 Historical Snapshot

The Sepecat Jaguar emerged from a Franco-British collaboration in the early 1960s as a versatile platform for close support and pilot training. Over time it served as both a trainer and attack aircraft, playing a practical role in French operations, including deployments in Africa and during the Gulf conflict.

Yes, the scale and detail level of Hobby Boss 87258 make it a good choice for small dioramas showing ground handling, service crews, or compact airfield scenes.
The kit offers basic cockpit detail appropriate to 1/72 scale; modellers seeking extra fidelity can add aftermarket instrument decals or photoetched parts.
The two clear parts are small and should be handled gently; mask them before painting and attach with a canopy-safe cement to avoid fogging or stress marks.
