250 Testa Rossa Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I wonder if it can be converted to a very early flat floor car with the welded louvres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyser Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Easy. Correct seats, welded louvers need scribing that’s about it. Floor simple. External bonnet latches not difficult. I posted pics early in one of these threads. Nothing else much really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redisetta Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I was reading another thread and saw it mentioned that Michael’s has them in stock now. So I just ordered it for same day pickup. Website says limited quantity. I have been waiting for this model forever lol. I would have never dreamed that I would be getting it from Michael’s but who cares where I get it 🤪 Hopefully all issues will have been fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbostream Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 It's only the Revell Germany version that had the plastic issues right? The US version doesn't use red plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redisetta Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Got it.!!! It’s red. Haven’t opened the box yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redisetta Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 The under side of the roof had this sticker on it , maybe to signify it had been checked for previous issues Body and chassis parts are red. Everything else is molded a very light grey color. Nice set of decals also. I’m no expert but it looks good to me, lots of details, it will be my next build. I’m happy 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Canceled my Megahobby pre-order, they were saying 4th quarter, and ordered it from a local Michael's, and saved 10 bucks in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure the first reported problem I saw was from the German version. Anyway good that it seems fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjordan2 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Has anybody built the 1/16 Bandai/Entex XJ-S? The body looks pretty good to me, though the US headlights are a little sloppy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Has anybody run across the Dunlop racing wheels for this kit in Resin? All I’ve been able to find is from Thingiverse and I don’t have a way to print them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USCP has sets with and without tires here. July 12th: Just checked with USCP.

Matt Bacon Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland does Dunlop steel wheels as well, if you are happy to go through the hoops to order from them… best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Thanks guys, I may have to look into the Ukrainian ones, I’m not having much luck with finding the R&M versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy 😎 I scored one at Michaels last weekend- happy to report there are no sink marks (as seen on earlier posts in this thread) on my example. While the windshield height does not seem to have been corrected from the test shot photos, it overall has better proportions than the old Revellogram issue (ex-Aurora?) kit.

Rodent Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I was at Target on Friday and decided to walk across the parking lot and check out one of the world's worst Michaels. I thought they seemed to be getting rid of models, but they actually had five of the Jags on the shelf. Wonder what the deal is? They never had new releases before other stores before.

Matt T. Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I picked one up this weekend at Michaels. (Thank you to the folks with that info!) However, the hood was up against the body’s A-pillars in the bag and it may have been too warm when packaged, causing it to spread. I have a replacement request in with Revell… Edited July 14, 2021 by Matt T. Clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Have they finally decided to ship replacement parts to the U.S.? I need a 69 Chevelle rear bumper (bad chrome) and haven't bothered to request one because of their message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodent Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Thanks. It looks like the "no shipping to the USA" message is gone now. Too bad about your Jag! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a replacement request in with Revell… Upon reading these posts I signed onto Michaels website today and got a discount coupon and bought one of the three Jags they had on the shelf. Was quite disappointed to get home and open the box to find this exact same problem....hood stretched over the A pillars in the bag and not aligning with the body...same as your photo. Is there any way to correct this without cutting the sides of the hood away and regluing and sanding in order to get tighter alignment? Was thinking of dunking the parts in hot water and then taping the hood and body together. I've only requested replacement parts from Revell once in my modeling history....a poorly chromed tree in a Roth Mysterion kit many many years ago. What's the current procedure?
