peekay Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Very nice work going on here. One of my all-time favourite designs.
dino246gt Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Wow I'm crazy about the way that carpet looks with the piping, very nice!
jaymcminn Posted July 26, 2015 Author Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Here we go... the engine received some basic detailing that really makes it look like more than the simplified assembly it is. THe body was painted in the Tamiya Racing White with Racing Green stripe... I'm pretty much in final assembly now, as it's been a fairly cruddy weekend here. Waiting on some VRM roundel decals... trying to decide between black or yellow roundels at this point. Edited July 26, 2015 by jaymcminn
XJ6 Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Oh yes she going to be a Good Looking Jag doing a Great Job ??go with the yellow roundels just sayin ?lookin forward to more ?XJ6?
warra48 Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) I just finished Revell AG 1945 MG TC. To keep the Revell AG theme going, I dragged the Jag out again. Started building this at least a decade ago, and put it away in frustration.So far I've cleaned up the body, opened the doors on each side, opened the boot (trunk in USA lingo). The doors have prototypically correct hinges made from brass plate. The interior panels also had to be cut once the doors were opened.The opening doors also meant I've had to cut recesses into the chassis or floorboards where it's recessed at the door areas, and build up the panels at the front and back of the door jambs. Consequently, the underside of the doors have been built up to the correct profile.Pictures to follow in a later seperate thread. Edited August 2, 2015 by warra48

The Jag is done and looking pretty nice... just waiting for roundel decals from VRM to complete it before going to Under Glass. Might have to take some "pre-roundel" pics tomorrow and post them up here. Looking forward to your build!
jaymcminn Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) As promised, here are some pics of the Jag finished except for last-minute decals... Here's a good shot of the interior. Notice the scratchbuilt aero rear-view mirror between the windscreens. If my decals ever come (hurry up, VRM!) I'm going with black roundels and white numbers. Or yellow roundels and black numbers. Still trying to decide... Under Glass shots are probably going to have to take place outdoors, as it is impossible for me to get the lighting right with my indoor setup to get the colors correct and fixing it in Photoshop leads to all sorts of weird artifacts.

vintagercr Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Very nice! I built a 1/32 Jag slot car with the same paint scheme.
XJ6 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Beautiful I want it send it my way ?Just a Wonderful Model you built ??Don aka XJ6 ?
NYNS Franky Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Awesome work, this turned out beautiful! I built this kit years ago and was a fun build. Did you use the wheels from the tamiya Jag? I did the same with mine as they look great on it!
afx Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Very nice Jason. Are the wire wheels and tires from Tamiya's MkII Jag?
Cpt Tuttle Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 The XK120 is my dream car after the 300SL gullwing, and your build seems spotless, lovely!
Taxdude Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Very cool build. Are you going to replicate the horrendous electrical system of the real car?
