Gluebomber Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Attached are some pics of the Gunze Sangyo Jaguar XK-E Roadster. Paint is Krylon Burgundy decanted and airbrushed and a mix of Tamiya acrylics for the interior. I added stainless steel wire for the chrome trim on the fenders and on the door panels, scratchbuilt the headlight lens surrounds, and added some p/e wipers. The whitewalls came from the Revell '55 Chevy. Other than that the kit is built box stock. This kit was a pleasure to build but unfortunately is out of production. I'd like to find another one if the price was right. Any comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Very attractive. Like your colour choice. The headlight surrounds and SS trim really enhance the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Beautiful looking Jag. Very clean build and I like the colour, looks like a colour that was popular around that time called Damask Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Beatiful rendition. Is it curbside. I sometimes feel that Gunze has it right when they go curbside. They seem to focus on the proportions of the body and faithfulness of the exterior details when compared to other companies' full detail versions.

robertw Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Very nicely done ! Have this same kit on my display shelves but would be ashamed to set mine beside the superior job you've done on yours. Gunze did a number of cool little curbsides besides this one and I wish they would get reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
