modelercarl Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 I have both of the new Revell Jaguar kits. Looking through the instructions I was really impressed with the painting details they have noted. I visited the Revell site and made up my order based on their recommendations, 10 spray cans and 10 bottled paints. Revell indicated that delivery may take a couple of months due to the current shipping backlogs but I have plenty of other kits to work on while waiting. I ordered them on September 6th and package arrived in New Jersey customs Nov 13th, close to prediction. This will be my first effort at detailed component painting and looking forward to it.
NOBLNG Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 This is a nice kit. I am just working on it now. I think the only one needed in a spray can is the body colour, and maybe the interior? It looks like yours is molded in black. Mine is molded in red. I wish they would have used a more neutral colour.☹️
modelercarl Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 Greg, the kit was molded in red. I painted it with MCW British Racing Green but the flash i needed to highlight the instructions and paints darkened the model body. It actually is a lighter green and the MCW paints polish up great which I have to do yet. BTW I primed the body with Tamiya grey surface primer which covered the red and I then "cured" that in a dehydrator at 105 degrees for about an hour. Didn't see any bleed through.
SfanGoch Posted November 21, 2021 Posted November 21, 2021 For future reference, you can order Revell Email (enamel) and Aqua Color (acrylic) paints from Hobbylinc which is located in Georgia.
modelercarl Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 Didn't know that. Just checked and prices are comparable as well. I buy kits from Hobbylinc and the shipping is reasonable and quick. Thanks for the info Joe!
