dino246gt Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Wow I'm crazy about the way that carpet looks with the piping, very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Here we go... the engine received some basic detailing that really makes it look like more than the simplified assembly it is. THe body was painted in the Tamiya Racing White with Racing Green stripe... I'm pretty much in final assembly now, as it's been a fairly cruddy weekend here. Waiting on some VRM roundel decals... trying to decide between black or yellow roundels at this point.

warra48 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I just finished Revell AG 1945 MG TC. To keep the Revell AG theme going, I dragged the Jag out again. Started building this at least a decade ago, and put it away in frustration.So far I've cleaned up the body, opened the doors on each side, opened the boot (trunk in USA lingo). The doors have prototypically correct hinges made from brass plate. The interior panels also had to be cut once the doors were opened.The opening doors also meant I've had to cut recesses into the chassis or floorboards where it's recessed at the door areas, and build up the panels at the front and back of the door jambs. Consequently, the underside of the doors have been built up to the correct profile.Pictures to follow in a later seperate thread.

The Jag is done and looking pretty nice... just waiting for roundel decals from VRM to complete it before going to Under Glass. Might have to take some "pre-roundel" pics tomorrow and post them up here. Looking forward to your build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymcminn Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) As promised, here are some pics of the Jag finished except for last-minute decals... Here's a good shot of the interior. Notice the scratchbuilt aero rear-view mirror between the windscreens. If my decals ever come (hurry up, VRM!) I'm going with black roundels and white numbers. Or yellow roundels and black numbers. Still trying to decide... Under Glass shots are probably going to have to take place outdoors, as it is impossible for me to get the lighting right with my indoor setup to get the colors correct and fixing it in Photoshop leads to all sorts of weird artifacts.
