Kennyboy Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Sorry I did not post up progress on this as frequently as I usually do but, at least I finished it! Â The kit has several issues with fitment ESPECIALLY when fitting the body together..... .......over a dozen clamps it took to get the darn thing to come together AFTER clearancing several areas that were contacting too early. WHAT a HEADACHE! Thank goodness it is over! I originally planned on having a racing theme on this but alas, I could not find any JAGUAR decals that would be appropriate for the build. Photos were taken in ambient sunlight to show color depth (as much as possible.) Â Hope you enjoy!

Phildaupho Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome paint on a great looking car. It is pretty amazing some of the limited production cars that AMT did kits of once upon a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Phil........I like to look for the more limited stuff and sometimes you have to put up with a kit just because of the subject!

tmathew1us Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Awesome paint on a great looking car. It is pretty amazing some of the limited production cars that AMT did kits of once upon a time. I thought this was a Tamiya kit reboxed by AMT? I was hoping to see this in racecar livery, as first proposed, but it came out great anyway. Awesome job. How many different colors of paint did you use?

The Tamiya kit is WAY nicer than this one Tom. I really wanted to do it in race car livery but could not find anything suitable. Used lacquer black as a base, then white for the flame base, then Kandy Blue, and finally Kandy Pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Nice work. The paint is great. What areas did you needs to trim. I have one prepped for paint and am curious about the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
