Gluebomber Posted January 13 Below are some pictures of the Revell-Germany Jaguar XK-120. I didn't do much to the kit other than adding some engine wiring, detailing the dash, and adding some p/e wipers. Otherwise the kit was built box-stock. Paint is Tamiya Spray Dark Blue (TS-55) decanted and airbrushed, and a mix of Tamiya acrylics for the interior. All the kit chrome was stripped and repainted with Alclad Polished aluminum. I've built a few of the Revell-Germany classic sports cars and despite their age have found them to be great kits to build. They're also pretty readily available at model shows and I try to pick up as many as I can. All comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Thanks for looking!

peteski Posted January 14 Nice Jag. Beautiful! I have that model kit (Monogram version) in plastic, and another one with die-cast body. At least I think that is the same model kit. Just need to build one of them. . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larman Posted January 14 Stunning! Beautiful build of one of the most perfect looking sport cars ever! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
espo Posted January 14 Beautiful looking paint and finish. The color looks Black on my screen but I have used that shade of Blur before and it is really dark. To me these car some of the best looking Jag's of all time. As a child this is the first sports car that I remember seeing, is this a plastic kit or the old metal bodied kit ??

doorsovdoon Posted January 14 I like that! Your paint and detailing looks great. Very sharp looking build. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace-Garageguy Posted January 14 Absolutely first-rate beautiful. The first shot is especially realistic. I have a couple of the ancient metal-body versions in progress, and it's inspirational to see here how good this kit can look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Bacon Posted January 14 That looks fabulous. What a beautiful model of a beautiful car. You don’t see many people building these, but when they do, they turn out very special builds like this one... best, M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hi-Po Posted January 14 Nicely done, I like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertw Posted January 14 Picked up one of those when they did the brief all in plastic version. Your excellent work is telling me that I need to dig it out and build it. Your build is fabulous! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e30lover Posted January 15 Tamiya dark blue is one of my favourite color - and it looks amazing on your build! Great paintwork and engine details! It's gonna be on my next buy list... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bainford Posted January 15 Beautiful Jag. The XK120 demands a nice, smooth paint to show off those sexy lines, and yours suits perfectly. Very well done. I have this kit in progress, though the project stalled a couple years ago. I am hoping to get back at it in the spring. Seeing the lovely job you have done on yours is helping to inspire me to get back at it once I get through a couple current builds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sixties Sam Posted January 16 Great build! The finish is really well done. Those Jags were beautiful cars! Sam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarcoTJ Posted January 16 Beautiful gloss finish! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjordan2 Posted January 17 Beautiful, spectacular. Haven't seen a better one, but wonder why you chromed the trim around the door top/cockpit instead of the typical leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gluebomber Posted January 17 Thanks again for the kind comments. Skip, quite honestly, I built this model 3+ years ago and don't remember my thought process. I probably just thought the polished aluminum trim would look better than the red leather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
