Assembly time varies with experience, but expect several evenings to a few weekends for careful construction, painting and decalling of Hobby Boss 87258.
Subtle weathering techniques like light washes and drybrushing work well at 1/72 to suggest operational wear without obscuring panel detail.
Look for period photos, squadron profiles and online archives for authentic Jaguar A paint schemes; these sources help you match markings and camo accurately.
