Tamiya Jaguar XJR-9LM


Recommended Posts

NICE!  I tried to build this one and didn't finish.   Paint was awful on mine.  I'm good enough at decals, but messed up the paint and didn't bother to fix it before decals.  Lost heart in it, sold it.  Yours looks GREAT!  THanks for sharing.  I think I did see this one run at Charlotte in the 80s.   Would love to have had the March cars and others to go with this and the Porsches.   THe REd Lobster car was one of my favorite paint schemes.

Those graphics are really tough but you pulled it off beautifully. I was only recently working on mine. Did you clearcoat all your decals and what did you use?? . It looks great. 

thanks, yep 2k clear over the decals

Cool, I remember watching these Group C cars on TV back in the day with the Jaguar XJR-9LM, Sauber-Mercedes C9 and Porsche 956 and 962, the Jaguar V12 sound was very distiguishable.
I have one Jaguar XJR-9LM in my stash together with a couple of Sauber-Mercedes C9's and a Porsche 956...I liked the old Group C class wich was very popular and it was unfortunate that FIA "killed it off" when they introduced the later 3.5 litre Formula 1 sourced engine class wich were more expensive than the earlier C1 cars was.
