Well, I finally finished this one.

It's an old Bandai kit in 1/16 scale.

 

It's not that bad kit, but there are some problems with it:

-Clear parts are just horrible. Especially the windshield was bad. It was too small and ill-fitting.

-I don't know where bandai got the clever idea of making most of the suspension parts from metal. They were all cracked, ill-fitting, and looked horrible.

-Doors don't fit very well.

-Door and hood hinges look terrible.

 

But with patience, it can be built to a nice Jag. The biggest problem with mine was the paint job. I must have repainted the body at least four times.

 

Anyway, here she is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Overall, I'm quite happy with the result. Built Box-stock, I only added Finnish plates.

That is superb, if you photographed it on a road it would pass for the real deal. your investment in the paint has paid off it looks amazing.
