stevehansen Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Built this for club challenge, Hasegawa - Jaguar XJR-8 Sprint Type. Pretty much box stock. Had to put old decal sheet in the sunlight to lessen the yellowing and restore with Microscale Liquid Decal film. Tire decals are Indycals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

935k3 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Very nice build.An interesting fact about these cars is the way the exhaust pipes turn down at the end. It was to reduce the noise of the cars because of sound restrictions in place at most tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew McD Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hello Steve, Beautiful work. I am currently working on this exact model. I've not been engaged in the hobby long enough to develop your skills and the extensive decal work it calls for is somewhat intimidating. I have some concerns about the age of the decals and I'm not familiar with putting them in the sun or using the Microscale Liquid Decal film. Can you elaborate a bit on how you dealt with the decals? Thanks, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Chernosky Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Outstanding...,I know from experience that this kit is one tough decal challenge. You did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Good job on one of the coolest race cars ever! IIRC, the purple areas are not all covered by decals contained in this kit so additional painting is required. I also remember that Zero Paints are (or were) offering the purple color to match the Hasegawa decal colors exactly. Here comes another compliment: I don’t see any color deviation. So how did you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
