Dann Tier Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Here is a rare Revell of Germany kit (should say kits, it took 2)
Dann Tier Posted October 11, 2015 Author Posted October 11, 2015 They are photo etched parts from Model Car Garage that are placed on there individually.
Reeves Racing Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Gorgeous, I am wanting to build one of these, why did it take two kits? .
MrObsessive Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 I should add that this kit is NOT for the faint of heart, and I can see where it could take two kits to make this one right. I did the same as you and turned mine into a D-Type, and one of the biggest challenges was to make sure the engine sat below the cowl line at all times so that the hood would shut. Some careful planning makes for a very nice model such as yours, and this is one I wish would get reissued again sometime. They don't turn up on the 'Bay often and even at model shows, I seldom see 'em.

Dann Tier Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 The reasons for needing two kits.......MrObsessive is correct! And in addition to that, whenever I open up panels or correct kit makers seam lines - I am the type of builder who will use two kits. One kit to save the doors, panel, hood, etc. and use the second one to save the body. The Jaguar body had to be glued together before painting so I cut open the body panel around the seats so that the interior parts could still be put in, this also corrected the wrong seams that were in front of the rear wheel well. Thank you everyone for all the comments and for taking a look!
