Gunze Jaguar XK-E Roadster

[Gluebomber]

Attached are some pics of the Gunze Sangyo Jaguar XK-E Roadster.  Paint is Krylon Burgundy decanted and airbrushed and a mix of Tamiya acrylics for the interior.  I added stainless steel wire for the chrome trim on the fenders and on the door panels, scratchbuilt the headlight lens surrounds, and added some p/e wipers.  The whitewalls came from the Revell '55 Chevy.  Other than that the kit is built box stock.  This kit was a pleasure to build but unfortunately is out of production.  I'd like to find another one if the price was right. 

Any comments and constructive criticism are welcome.  Thanks for looking!

Very attractive. Like your colour choice. The headlight surrounds and SS trim really enhance the model.

Beautiful looking Jag. Very clean build and I like the colour, looks like a colour that was popular around that time called Damask Red.

Awesome color combo and the paint looks immaculate!

Beatiful rendition. Is it curbside. I sometimes feel that Gunze has it right when they go curbside. They seem to focus on the proportions of the body and faithfulness of the exterior details when compared to other companies' full detail versions.

Very nicely done ! Have this same kit on my display shelves but would be ashamed to set mine beside the superior job you've done on yours. Gunze did a number of cool little curbsides besides this one and I wish they would get reissued.
