Jaguar xk-e roadster

[bbowser]

Its rumored that Enzo Ferrari called it "the most beautiful car ever built" upon its introduction in 1961.  I always liked the lines of the roadster better than the coupe, the roofline on the coupe looks 'off' to me for some reason.

Maybe because I've recently completed a couple of Heller kits I especially enjoyed this kit, the engineering and parts count were outstanding.  Mold lines were faint and easy to clean up and the parts attachments, especially the chrome parts, were designed to be well hidden on the finished car.  Everything fit without massaging.  It included an extensive decal sheet with all the underhood and interior markings you could want.  I didn't use them all, some were extremely tiny.  This kit, and I imagine the sister coupe, easily rival Tamiya for accuracy and ease of construction IMHO.  Comments always welcome and thanks for looking.

One of the nicest E Type builds I've seen. What kit is it?

[Matt Bacon]

Beautifully done, and in my favourite Jaguar colour, too. Absolutely nails the look of that beautiful car. The details really pop (and that decal for the hood vent is a very clever touch…) Great job!

best,

Beautiful build of a beautiful sports car. I have the old Monogram coupe in my build que and would be very pleased if it turned out as good as yours. Well done Bruce and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers,

One of my all-time favorite Jaguars, and you did a fantastic job on it.  I have to agree with old Enzo on this one!

A real beauty Bruce. For all the things we hear about Heller kits this one looks to be of very good quality.

This is the Revell new tool kit, sorry for the confusion.

Many thanks for all the comments, I really enjoyed this build.

Nicely done and great color choice.

That's a nice looking car... and the interior is great!  I've been looking for a nice Jag to build but have shied away because of fitment issues - most often with the Revell offering.
