Looking good so far. White bodywork is a nice choice and the red spoked wheels really stand out.

That's me done the interior, all in red. Things where going clean & well but after popping the body & doors on to see how it's looking I've got a few little dirty marks on it typical. I'll have a careful try at tidying them up or little light spray back over them.


The body looks not bad considering. I found when gloss varnishing the body with spray I was getting a few dust hairs sticking to it. Wouldn't be a problem with most other colours (like military models) but they show up so much on white. Managed to tease them off & away with a pin point

The next step I made was deciding that the convertible roof hood that came with the kit covered too much of the back of the interior. I wanted it to look more like the hood of the real jaguar in my pic at the start of my posts. So I made one myself. It was as simple as cutting a U shaped piece of thin craft foam at the right measurements, then a piece of thin card cut a little bit bigger. I then glued the 2 together and then cut a small bit of plastic bag & glued it & wrapped it round the U shaped foam/card. Finally giving it a spray with a red purple colour. It works great, fits perfectly & looks the part when attached to back body

Here's a photo of how the new custom made roof hood is looking on the car....With the interior

Thanks Mark

That hood looks much better the way you have modelled it. The wider original piece represents the hood full cover.

Started to add the final extras. With the chrome windscreen & lights I actually now found the clear plastic bits of the kit are missing but no worries, luckily their easy enough bits to make out of an empty plastic bottle so cut rectangular bit for windscreen & small round bits for the 2 main lights. I then decided that instead of the chrome horns to be fitting to the front I wanted 2 more smaller lights, so I cut the ends off old glue lids (in picture) then cut small clear plastic circles to fit on them too.

This looks wonderful. I love the red and white colour scheme.

Great progress on this vintage Jag - really nice. I've got an Airfix 1/32 MG so I'll be watching this with great interest.


Lovely work on the details.


Cheers
