Hobby Boss 1/72 Scale Hobby Overview for Hobby Boss 87259

Conceived in the 1960s through UK-French cooperation, the Sepecat Jaguar filled dual roles as an attack aircraft and advanced trainer. The platform evolved through several marks, refining its avionics and airframe for frontline and training duties.

The Jaguar E is notable for an extended nose to fit a second cockpit for an instructor alongside simplified electronics and a fixed refuelling probe on the radome, visually distinct from the earlier Type A machines.
