Looking good, The old damaged body id chop the roof and just build some 70s racer out of it. I did like the red but gotta be a colour your happy with so good on you stripping it back and making sure your happy. I will build a road car vette soon, I'm torn between the box art green or a burnt orange if I ever do one

Not aware of one on the market, it would be a good candidate for some aftermarket conversions parts

No worries Yeah shame the new kit has no hard top

The kit has a hard top with it being the old 1:25 kit

Evening all, Started this project using the old 1:25 revell roadster. The car I am making is E-Type 875027, the first E-type Roadster delivered to Cunningham and the car raced at Sebring in 1962 and 1963 before being replaced by the lightweights. https://stanceworks.com/2016/11/not-quite-lightweight-gregor-fiskens-preserved-1961-jaguar-e-type/#:~:text=Built in 1961%2C Gregor Fisken's Jaguar E-type%2C,famous driver and team owner Briggs Cunningham. I'm building mine to replicate the car as raced in the 1963 race, which is how the car is currently presented. Jobs Sort out the headlight shape (the kits are way to circular) if this fails I'll cover them just like the real car had at race start. Build tunnels/structure behind headlights. Opening up doors and boot and build working hinges. Scratch build boot interior, fuel tank, spare wheel holder and other components Modify interior based on reference pictures ' transmission tunnel doesnt match kit parts. Modify engine to have a wide angle head and redo carb set up. May try wiring this engine Scratch various body modifications including parts similar to the lightweight cars Replace missing wheels from the kit with better wheels (looking at Jack's resin model parts) Make roof mounted indentification lights Current status All parts cut out, prototype hinges built using paper clips. Boot structure being built up.

Really like this, I need to finish my airfix 1:32 which i was trying to make look like the daytona 24 hour cars. Wish there was a decent 1:24 kit

Has anyone built the 1:24 scale Minicraft TR3 I believe it was also boxed by Entex and maybe Revell. I require the hard top part for a project using the Gunze TR3 (gunze didnt do a hard top), however don't want to buy a whole kit for 1 part, seen a few build it without the top so hoping there may be a spare lying in a box and be better to make use of a scrap/leftover Will pay postage, UK based.

Think I'm going to try scale these up and compare what's what and do some measurements. It'll either be worth changing or accept it for what it us. The kit decals are toast so will also find a new scheme to do it it

I have this 996 gt3r from horby and been trying to figure out what's wrong with it? The shape just looks off. I can see the front is very wrong but the rest of cars bugging me. Any tips or ideas on adjusting the front or anyone seeing anything that stands out to them that is off. Ot could be once fronts sorted the rest falls in place? The kit is the same as the scalextric car

Hi all picked up this kit as a built up unpainted model. I have stripped it back to parts, decals are toast so have decided to order the le man's DeWalt set from Pattos Place. Plan is to redo interior to try make it more realistic, no gear stick a rather pedestrian steering wheel and very generic square seat came with the kit some odd mouldings in the passenger side interior, and not convinced the cage is correct. Boot is all wrong based on a reference I am using of a recently sold car, not the same chassis but assuming this is more correct that what is depicted on the kit. Boot is now cut out, just removed the bottom panel to try redo it that way but may chop the whole rear off and rebuild around some reconstructed foot wells. Chassis lacks detail so may look at a way to improve that to

This will look fantastic

I will hopefully get back to finishing this soon

This is fantastic build to look through and a really cool car to model

That looks beautiful

Another beauty!!!

I think I have seen it on spot model. No idea what it was like

That's a great pair, really like different touches and see more each time I look

That looks great, paint really pops

Top one is a gulf car I believe

Looking fantastic so far

Like the extra detail added to the bonnet

That's another cracking car!!!

Loads detail gone into this. Quite the project

Love matras and the world needs more v12s.

I realised I only got to page 2 and missed all the other goodness!!! The weathering looks good. Love the detail and effort around the number decals and the door fittings
