Scuderia Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Looking good, I see the chassis pan setup is similar to that of the Italia. Should make posed wheels easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Yeah Usually with kits I was afraid to hack anything up to make turned front wheels.

martinfan5 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess I should start work on this, the Jaguar E type, this one might be a slow build , slow in my world . This one is going to need a lot a work, almost all the parts have some flash on them, I am not looking forward to this one lol. I think I am going to go with a green that is close to British racing green, its the same green I used on my Lotus Super 7 build. I dont think I will be getting any updates posted in tell next Thursday at the earlierst, this coming sunday is moving day, so its almost time to start packing the models up, but I wont have internet at the new house tell 6th of July , I do have my Blackberry, so I will check in as much as I can stand to on it Edited June 28, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Good job on the flocking, looks good, how much flocking did you get on the body?, going to have to strip the clear coat? I got more flocking today, so now I can get the interior on the R8 done, and the 458 I am doing . I also pick up some paint, I got the paint for the Jag, and the R8, not going to say what color I got for the R8, you will just have stick around tell after the break to find out Edited June 29, 2012 by martinfan5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
