Gotta love it when someone offers up a post that combines high levels of build quality and detailing, exceptional paint work and top notch photography.

Congrats also for matching the factory paint.  Wish someone (looking at you, Tamiya) would offer that color.

Beautiful and clean looking build. Just like everyone else I think one of the most outstanding features is the color.

That's very nice, the metallic colour really accentuates the shape.

Good call on the wheels too. I once saw those Dunlops on a '60s Jaguar saloon and they looked great on that too.

that's one good looking jag.  i've done the coupe and a roadster this year and they've been my favorite kits to date so i bought four more of them - will definitely be trying this color scheme on the next one.  it looks amazing -  great job.

This is a stunning model and is beautifully photographed.  I will be curious to see your work in the '95 M-ed. I owned one of those for 10 years (the Miata) and still miss it every day.

Thanks Eric. the two biggest challenges are going to be changing the NA6 interior to the later NA8 interior (especially the '95M low buckets) and finding a set of 15" BBS RZ wheels. Aoshima makes 17" RG's in 1/24 but they're just too big.

Thanks man. I have some plans for the roadster... I'm leaning toward a resto-mod type of thing with painted wire wheels, racing seats and a triple-Weber setup.

Photo do-over time... I decided if I'm going to step up my photography I need a camera that wasn't built during the Bush presidency... the original pics were shot on a 15-year-old Canon Rebel XTI that just couldn't handle what I was asking it to do. Today I bought a Rebel T7. This is one of the cheapest DSLRs out there, but it has an excellent sensor for the price and accepts the lenses from my old Canon in addition to having a decent lens bundled with the camera. These new pics were taken at f29 with auto ISO and, other than some cropping, are exactly as they came off of the SD card. The color in these pics is EXACTLY how the model appears in real life.

Gorgeous car, gorgeous photos!  The difference in the photos is like night and day (literally  :)). Thanks Jason!

I wonder how that photo would look like as your avatar.

I still use my ancient Nikon CoolPix 8700 camera (not a DSLR), but I use a tripod, long exposures, and lots of light.

Great idea on updating that avatar... it's been a while. A lot of my old pics, including the Porsche that is my current avatar, were taken with my old Panasonic Lumix non-DSLR. It took a really nice picture but unfortunately did not survive my idiot cat knocking over the tripod a few years back.
