Monogram Jaguar XKE (E-type) 1/24

[GMasterG]

Hello everyone

An old dear friend who is now too old to build models, gave me this kit to build a replica of his E-type jag that he drove up to the day his licence was revoked. I pulled it out today to commence work and noticed that the clear parts are all cracked and unuseable. Before I invest in a complete kit I wanted to post this in the hope that someone might have the sprue of clear parts in their spare box and would be willing to part with it.

Any offers greatly appreciated

Regards

Grant

Grant, you're gonna have to tell which kit exactly it is. There's several kits of the E-Type and the parts don't interchange on any of them

Ditto. 
If you could post a photo of the box, it would help. I recently parted out an E-Type and may still have the glass. I'm away from home right now, but can check when I return in a week.

Thank you for this information - I wasn't aware that this was the case. Cheers

Thank you for your reply, Trevor. Below is an image of the box. Cheers, Grant

The monogram kit was a re-pop of the old Aurora kit so you might be able to find the glass from that kit also.

Hope to can locate what you are looking for as it's a bit of a long shot.

You may have to resort to an alternative kit. Revell's looks to be the most easily available, but the roof line looks a bit odd on their coupe version.

Heller and Gunze come to mind as two others. I think that the Gunze one was marketed for a time under the Airfix label.

I don't think that Tamiya ever kitted the E Type, more's the pity, and surprised that they never did !

SMTS did a roadster in 1/24th as a ?limited run white metal kit that is quite comp!ex.

If I recollect, and I'll check downstairs as I have the kit, that is a 1/25 not 1/24 kit.  The old Auroras like the Jag, 250 GTO, Maserati and Aston DB4 were 1/25.  Those were the ones picked up by Revell.
