I'm working on the Revell boxing of the Italeri Jaguar GR1A and I want to finish it in the wrap-around green and grey scheme. The kit gives alternative blade aerials to fit on the fuselage spine just behind the cockpit. One of these is a single large aerial mounted centrally and the other is a pair of smaller aerials mounted side by side.
The instructions say that the single large aerial is for the wrap- around scheme which they say dates from 1987. According to a book on the Jaguar by Andy Evans, the single aerial was fitted to aircraft that took part in Operation Granby. This would mean that it wouldn't be suitable for 1987. I have the feeling that the 1987 scheme requires the two smaller aerials but I have no definite evidence. Does anyone know which aerial arrangement I should use?
