After looking at the model posted in another thread of the beautiful and superb Jaguar XKE racing lightweight prototype, I present you my unfortunate attempt and effort at modeling the famous CUT-7 Lowdrag Jaguar XKE racer....oh, boy...this model of mine is really a bad one!! I started this project about 15 years ago...with great expectations and hopes for a nice replica of the actual car,CUT-7, but because of lack of visual information..wich now is PLENTY in the web and a superb new book about the "specials XKE racers" now for sale...my effort turn out to be quite a poor one..in a LOT of ways and details of the real car, the doors profile is wrong,the back glass area is wrong profile also, the paint finish have a lot to be desire...in fact have suffered a bit after this project have been discarded under a old t-shirt in a shelf in the "may be I will finish this thing one day" level. Anyway...the effort itself have some good things..in my very personal opinion..I did scrachtbuilt the four "racing Dunlop" wheels and also thw back wider tires,new headers,hood longer louvers,cockpit detail and driver side change from left to right among other small things...but again, not much to save this unfortunate model attempt.
