Raul_Perez Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I don't remember ever seeing that kit. Was it made by Bandai? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Creative Explorer Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 no, Entex. I do like the idea John, you got my attention. Be aware of the join-lines between the upper and lower body. On the box it says, can be built as convertible or as coupe, but you show a coupe body, is there a second upper-body in the box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Cole Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 What a build! The width of that body reminds me of... Overall, that... is similar to... I'm sure this will be another home run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul_Perez Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 no, Entex. As I recall, in the 70s & 80s Entex only repackaged previously released kits; much like Model King did a few years ago. I don't think that they ever tooled any model cars themselves. Much of what Entex release from the 70s through the 80s was originally produced by Bandai. A lot of the 1/16th scale classics that are now available through MiniCraft were originally produced by Bandai and Otaki. What I'm not sure of is who produced the 1:20th XKE that John is building. If it was a Bandai kit, it has/had their name on parts trees, typically on the backside of the part tree behind the letter designator on the tree.

Raul_Perez Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) The original was by Eidai Grip: Thanks, Christian!! I recall the brand. I remember their 1:8th scale RSR Turbo Carrera Porsche, the 1:8th scale Lotus 72D JPS F1 car and the 1:8th scale Marlboro McLaren M23. I built both the Lotus and the McLaren, but I never had the Porsche. They were HUGE kits!! I don't ever recall seeing their 1:20 Jaguar. Anyway, keep up the GREAT work, John!! This is sure to be another amazing build!! Edited April 10, 2011 by Raul_Perez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bacon Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) That's a great job of work, John, and I'm full of admiration for your "cut n shut" skills... ....but (and I'm sure I'm in the minority here)... why would you do that to such a great-looking car? If I had a couple of 1/20 E-Types, I'd make them as 1/20 E-types... Each to their own, I guess..! bestest, M.
