dougwintz Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Hi. This is Tamiya's kit. Instead of building the racing version, I found a 1:1 example, slightly modified and tried to replicate it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, thanks for bringing up Mike Hawthorn. He certainly had an interesting story in racing and in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Beautiful looking build, the bank robbers choice of transport back in 60's UK! I love the colour, looks like the car in an old TV show over here called "Inspector Morse" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbtr6 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Very nice. I hav3 this kit and may have to steal your ideas. How did you paint the hood medallion so nicely? How did you do the wood? Thanks, Perry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should say I have a special technique to do that - but the REAL truth is the hood medallion is a decal, and so is the wood!!!! Both are included in the kit!

carbuilder1950 Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I love these old Jag sedans. They can have so many different personalities, depending on how they are dressed out. The black wheels give a bit of a sinister look to me. Pretty cool 👍. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Porter Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Lovely build of one of Tamiya's nicest. Hopefully a kit they judge to be due for a reissue soon, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Well done. Love the color choices. But why does the license plate tell me to "Buy 12"? Subliminal messaging from Tamiya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subliminal messaging from Tamiya. This is definitely no Tamiya marketing gag: Believe it or not, John Coombs Racing prepared Jaguars for the British Touring Car Championship in the early 60's which they dominated from 1960 to 1962 - drivers were Graham Hill, Roy Salvadori and others, and one of these cars had that very license plate BUY 12 (another team car had BUY 1)- see pictures: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
