B_rad88 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) hey everyone wuz up? i am tring to find out a little info and i am getting stuck, ok, i beleave i had this kit when i was 12-13, it was givin to me on christmas, and i did build it, oh and i did a poor job at it! lol, i was wondering if anyone else has built this kit? i just wanted to identify if its the one i had, or not! so i guess what i am asking is, does anyone have any pics of it built? the kit in question is a hasegawa jaguar xj-s h.e. twr! but i swore it was a tamiya, but i guess i am wrong! lol! Thank you for your help! Brandon Edited September 7, 2009 by KUZTOMMODELS88
george 53 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 B, I got it. And it looks pretty much like the one in the box! I paid about 10/12 bucks for it at a toy show. I've grokked it, an it looks to be a FULLY detailed kit, but it can only be built as a race car. I wanted ta combine it with Revells Snap kit of that same Jag, just ain't got around to it. But it DOES look like a REALLY nice kit!
B_rad88 Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 hey bro good to hear from you! lol, and really? cool. are they hard to find/rare now? i would like to get one and try to build it better! and i beleave it had screen mesh in it and yellow/orangeish color tubing in it! right? and wow thats cheap, i just found one on ebay for $30! but i don't like ebay, so i won't buy it from there! and i found those pics on the net. its the closet looking kit to what i remember! I WOULD DIE IF I CAN GET MY HANDS ON ANOTHER ONE! LOL! thank you very much for the help! Brandon

I'll hafta see if I can find one, It'd be ALOT easier than tryin ta kitbash one!!! LOL.. After Looking at jbwelda build he is doing of the Racing Version I went looking for one, only found this one.. That's been my luck lately too. I want a stock car, I find the Rally Version. Then some Crazy guy Down Under turns a stock one into a Rally car. Look for a race version, find the stock version. Nice kit tho.
Lownslow Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 I got the stock one off ebay just a few weeks ago. i got a tricked out one i think its a vert i havent seen it since i bought it its in my grail vault

jbwelda Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 ah funny this comes up because i was thinking about posting some update photos. i have the chassis, motor and wheels & tyres done but the interior only half done. ive got the bodywork done (remove some trim, drill holes for antenni and the big fuel fillers in the rear and some other minor mods. i am currently hung up painting the body, got the white on the upper fenders down and need to mask it and shoot the green, then clear. hoping to do that over this coming week because the wind is supposed to be down. i havent had any special difficulties so far but ive not come to the final assembly yet and that is where things generally go wrong so we will see. i will say to really follow the instrux on how to route the rear brake cooling ducts because its easy to get confused (or at least it was for me ). other than that i dont remember anything being that crazy but the instrux can be a little misleading at times...and then necessary! on the motor i think i would refit the wiring harness and make it sit lower. anyway have fun and i will ressurect my old thread here in the next week or so.
B_rad88 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 wow, ok! cool! i iwll be watching for it! and may i ask? what is with the blue film tape? what is it for? i never had figured it out, even when i had the kit 7-8 years ago, i still didn't know what it was for! lol! thank you for the help everyone! Brandon
FujimiLover Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) I believe our favorite tuner, "Koenig-Specials" tuned up one of these Jaguar's. Not too bad to! Check out their web site. This was back in the 80's when they were really cooking! Yep, here it is, and it look's like it's in my special gray color too! Edited September 9, 2009 by FujimiLover
B_rad88 Posted September 9, 2009 Author Posted September 9, 2009 thats cool looking! and i just read the thread that jbwelda posted on his jag in the workbench, i like the look of that lister thats mr. mike posted in it! i wonder whitch is faster? lol
FujimiLover Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 I wouldn't mind turning one into a KS model if I can find a kit. It'll go nicely along with my KS 500.
