Interesting idea!? I could scribe the line and use the butt end of a .021” drill bit to make a half round trough for the wire. I have some .015”x.020” evergreen that I was going to use. Hmmm?

If you mean the tire, It’s Scenes Unlimited. If you mean the truck….the cab is a resin casting of a modified die cast piece. Check out my build thread in the link for more info.

That’s a very nice looking truck Mike!?

Real nice!?

Excellent job! I like that hood hinge idea.?

Looking really good there Riley! Great job on the wood grain for the spokes and bed rails.?

Thanks. That is pretty much what I have been discovering. The blue car in my above post may have had the seams filled or perhaps an aftermarket fiberglass bonnet?

Maybe, but I have a lot of primer and I’ve just recently learned that it’s possible to calculate the exact parameters of the perfect paint job….so I will never need to strip again.?

It sure doesn’t work well on Tamiya primer or their laquers.

Thanks. There are a number of sites dedicated to them. I will have to start sifting through them. According to the two pictures I posted, the wipers that are included in the kit are only correct for a RHD vehicle.?

Another question?…did the opposite sweep of the wipers depend on whether the car was RH or LH drive? I imagine so?

Does anyone know when the chrome trim on the fenders appeared? From looking at restoration photos, it look like it covers a body seam. This Revell kit is obviously a series 1, but does it represent a specific year and is the fender trim a proper feature for this particular model? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. ?

I never though of that. But after googling a bunch of images I realize not all e-types had that molding. I thought they all had it to cover a body seam. Here is a pic of a 1964(?) that doesn’t have them. I don’t feel so bad now.?

Thanks David. The tires are Cheetah Max Tracks from Scenes Unlimited. They look very close to the KM2s.

Nice clean looking build.?

Looks Nice.?

Well I feel stupid! I’m working on the Revell Jaguar Coupe. It is a very nice kit despite the roof height issue. So I was cleaning up the body, sanding the mold lines and ejector pin marks. I got it looking real smooth! Then I grabbed the instructions and there on the cover is a nice full color picture of the model, complete with chrome fender trim that I just sanded off.? It should have been obvious to me that they weren’t mold lines. So my question is…should I leave it with the smoothed fenders? I have some .030” half round that I could replace them with. It shouldn’t be any harder than doing the seams on a vinyl roof. The .030” is the smallest size available, but is it small enough?

Well done! It looks great in that colour.?

No. But I have e-mailed Newell Brands to request this information, and also exactly how many passes are required to get complete opaque coverage, and what weather conditions are most favourable. Ooh…darn it, I forgot to ask them if each pass should alternate directionally or be parallel?

Hey…are those available in purple??

Absolutely! ?And giving the odd tidbit of advice is OK….as long as you don’t seriously expect any results! ?

Very nice.?

How will you ever know if you don’t SPRAY SOMETHING?

Looks Great. Nice job on the roof!?

Nicely done!?
