monkeyclaw Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Don't know of a 1/12 XJS; But Imai or another Japanese maker did an XJS kit in 1/16 some years ago....I do see them on ebay occasionally. Price $50-$70 for a mint kit.......................Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacked Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 hi Matt, thanks, but i don't think it's 1/16 the guy said it's 400mm long. cheers Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 It could be labeled as 1/16, but may scale out to 1/12. There are a bunch of kits where the model is actually larger or smaller than the scale indicated on the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hacked Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 thanks Jordan, would they have been that far out, so it will be 1/16 or 1/12 or something inbetween? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I thought I'd seen this before - 1/16 by Bandai. Check UK eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cortinanut Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have the Entex 1/16 kit--is that a repackage of the Bandai? I have not built it, but it seems like a good kit to a casual inspection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 (edited) What confuses me is that 400 mm in length is over 15 inches, which would indicate a 1/12 kit. A 1/16 version would be somewhere around 10 inches, the size of my 1/16 Gullwings. As a large-scale builder, I have never heard of a 1/12 XJ-S kit. Jeffrey, please keep us informed as to how this comes out. Edited November 18, 2012 by sjordan2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hacked Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 hi Guy's, got the jag yesterday, and as it works out the seller has a different ruler to me. it's not 1/12 but 1/16. anyway it's kinda cool so i'll see if it will come apart. if it does i'll start a new topic. cheers Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
