Kennyboy Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 (edited) Sorry I did not post up progress on this as frequently as I usually do but, at least I finished it! The kit has several issues with fitment ESPECIALLY when fitting the body together..... .......over a dozen clamps it took to get the darn thing to come together AFTER clearancing several areas that were contacting too early. WHAT a HEADACHE! Thank goodness it is over! I originally planned on having a racing theme on this but alas, I could not find any JAGUAR decals that would be appropriate for the build. Photos were taken in ambient sunlight to show color depth (as much as possible.) Hope you enjoy! Edited November 5, 2016 by Kennyboy
slusher Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Man, that is an amazing model. Excellent paint Ken..
Kennyboy Posted February 25, 2015 Author Posted February 25, 2015 Thank you so much guys! REALLY appreciate the support and nice comments! .......JC ummmm no I think I'll keep it now.
Phildaupho Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Awesome paint on a great looking car. It is pretty amazing some of the limited production cars that AMT did kits of once upon a time.

Thank you Phil........I like to look for the more limited stuff and sometimes you have to put up with a kit just because of the subject!
wrecker388 Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Beautiful! It was nice when it was just the body, but those wheels finish the look!
Kennyboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 That really is an amazing paint job. Thank you Peter. Cool paint Thanks Stephen!
Relic_Models Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Looks amazing. Totally worth the effort, I think.
Kennyboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 That looks sweet, great work sir Thanks Buddy! See you next Friday at AMG Wow, love the colors!!! Thanks David.
Kennyboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Looks amazing. Totally worth the effort, I think. Thanks Christopher. The way it was turning out all along the way was what kept me going on it.
tmathew1us Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Awesome paint on a great looking car. It is pretty amazing some of the limited production cars that AMT did kits of once upon a time. I thought this was a Tamiya kit reboxed by AMT? I was hoping to see this in racecar livery, as first proposed, but it came out great anyway. Awesome job. How many different colors of paint did you use?

The Tamiya kit is WAY nicer than this one Tom. I really wanted to do it in race car livery but could not find anything suitable. Used lacquer black as a base, then white for the flame base, then Kandy Blue, and finally Kandy Pink.
Kennyboy Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Very sharp Kenny, turned out awesome. Thank you much Bill! Cheers!
DumpyDan Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Sorry you had such a hard time holding it together....LOL.....But thanks for finishing it, wonderful paint
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Nice work. The paint is great. What areas did you needs to trim. I have one prepped for paint and am curious about the issues.
