John Teresi Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) Hello........this is going to be my next prjoect........I am going to attempt a Pro Mod.........this will be a make believe car.....I have never seen a Jaguar Pro Mod.......so that probably tells me that it would not work?........Mr. Paul Rowe a Champion Pro model builder and painter.......gave me a Pro Mod resin engine and a few other goodies.......so I decided what the heck?........I purchased a new Entex Jaguar and a built up Entex Jaguar.......I will construct the 2 bodies together to make one to scale........thank`s for looking Edited June 4, 2011 by John Teresi
Rob Z Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Looks like an interesting subject, should turn out really KOOL!!!
Raul_Perez Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I don't remember ever seeing that kit. Was it made by Bandai?
The Creative Explorer Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 no, Entex. I do like the idea John, you got my attention. Be aware of the join-lines between the upper and lower body. On the box it says, can be built as convertible or as coupe, but you show a coupe body, is there a second upper-body in the box?
John Teresi Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Hello.....I worked on the body today........got the width and the length done......I will work on the height and the doors tomorrow......then I will need to shape......thank`s for looking.
John Teresi Posted April 5, 2011 Author Posted April 5, 2011 and a few more photos.......thank`s for looking
Jon Cole Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 What a build! The width of that body reminds me of... Overall, that... is similar to... I'm sure this will be another home run.
Raul_Perez Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 no, Entex. As I recall, in the 70s & 80s Entex only repackaged previously released kits; much like Model King did a few years ago. I don't think that they ever tooled any model cars themselves. Much of what Entex release from the 70s through the 80s was originally produced by Bandai. A lot of the 1/16th scale classics that are now available through MiniCraft were originally produced by Bandai and Otaki. What I'm not sure of is who produced the 1:20th XKE that John is building. If it was a Bandai kit, it has/had their name on parts trees, typically on the backside of the part tree behind the letter designator on the tree.

Raul_Perez Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 (edited) The original was by Eidai Grip: Thanks, Christian!! I recall the brand. I remember their 1:8th scale RSR Turbo Carrera Porsche, the 1:8th scale Lotus 72D JPS F1 car and the 1:8th scale Marlboro McLaren M23. I built both the Lotus and the McLaren, but I never had the Porsche. They were HUGE kits!! I don't ever recall seeing their 1:20 Jaguar. Anyway, keep up the GREAT work, John!! This is sure to be another amazing build!! Edited April 10, 2011 by Raul_Perez

Matt Bacon Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) That's a great job of work, John, and I'm full of admiration for your "cut n shut" skills... ....but (and I'm sure I'm in the minority here)... why would you do that to such a great-looking car? If I had a couple of 1/20 E-Types, I'd make them as 1/20 E-types... Each to their own, I guess..! bestest, M. Edited April 15, 2011 by Matt Bacon
