buffalobill Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I like this project a lot. I've been wondering what to do w/ the Tamiya Jag sedan kit that I have - now I know what direction to take it. . . My only suggestion - hope that you don't mind - is, that I'd considering lengthening the doors approx. 6 scale inches (@ their trailing edge) to lessen the length of the rear side windows. Do you intend to keep it as a pillarless hardtop? I'm really looking forward to watching you finishing this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydime Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Andy, I give you a lot of credit. You certainly have done great work on this and get tons of points on originality! I do agree with Bill on the longer doors if a two door is your intention. Either that or scribe a line for the rear doors as well. A four door custom with no center pillar looks really cool. But it's your build. Whatever you decide to do or not do, it still doesn't change the cool factor of this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Hi Bill & Ken, no problem, I originally used the existing front panel line of the rear door to save the need for scribing (which I dread) but looking at the body in primer & you're both right about the length of the door. Just a pic with the door lengthed about 3mm to try & balance things up a bit. You might just be able to see where the "old" panel line has been filled with plastic sheet. Thanks for the interest guys. Cheers Andy Edited November 17, 2013 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajay Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Hi Bill, sorry for the lack of updates - I did get as far as spraying up the body but managed to polish thru the clearcoat & couldn't get a good colour match on the damaged area so back to square one I'm afraid - hope to get a bit done over the xmas holiday (weather permitting).

DPNM Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 I've wanted to get this kit 'cause it looks like one you can do something with and you most certainly have. Your vision of the car is super cool. Your execution on the build is fantastic!!! I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Hi all Progress ! Just a couple of pics of the body. The colour is HOK Brandywine over a silver base followed by Zero paints prer-thinned clear and a lot of "elbow grease" with polishing cloths and compound. Thanks for looking Andy Edited March 9, 2014 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Perfection. Very pretty, and a great re-style. The Mk. II looks very nice as a hardtop- too bad Jag didn't do one like that. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobthehobbyguy Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Great color. Looks a little like a 49 merc from the side profile. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajay Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Looks great! How would you rate the Zero clear?Thanks Peter & sorry for delay in replying.I'd rate it as pretty good, I still have to use polishing cloths to get a glass smooth finish but thats probably more to do with the fact I tend to put 2 or 3 fairly thick coats on as I'm vary of polishing through to the basecoat.RegardsAndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
