Revell Jaguar E-Type Model Kit
https://youtu.be/xnqJU-KEf4E
I saw this and thought it looked like Widebody911's Jag. If you like building model cars, this guy does some pretty neat things to bring out the detail in a kit. I've learned a lot from watching his videos. Anyhoo, I posted this mainly for Widebody911. Enjoy. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

I think it was Monogram that made the really big 1/8 scale model of the E-type Jaguar coupe in yellow and a 63-67 Corvette coupe in orange. I was a kid back in the early 70's when I built the model of the E-type. All went well and the last thing to install was the windshield.
I had glue on my fingers and totally screwed up the windshield. I was beside myself. So I wrote a letter to Monogram pleading for a new windshield, stuck a 5 dollar bill in the envelope with the letter and mailed it off to them. A couple weeks later I received a small box that contained a new windshield wrapped up in tissue paper and my 5 dollar bill. I've still got that model, been meaning to find a local guy with an E-type coupe to give it to.  EDIT: Better yet might be worth finding a guy with an E-Type that has a nice pair of used SSI's for my 911 to trade! WOW! Last edited by SCadaddle; 12-10-2021 at 02:26 PM.. |

Reminded you of Thom's car; did it have a pair of size 17 Birkenstocks in the back or something?

I'm currently doing some of the same detail treatment to a Revell 1980 Ford Ranger F150 1/24 pickup truck with the flareside bed. I am building it to match my 78 F150 flareside with the same colors. I realize that the front grill is a bit different on the 1980 model, but my 78 has the square headlights, and a newer style bed, so it should be a really good representation of the real truck out in my barn.
The model is all currently still in it's plastic trees, and I have been painting parts (even some of the chrome parts like he did). Last edited by ckelly78z; 12-11-2021 at 06:58 AM.. |

There's wire wheels made from resin available on ebay that would really help that E-type pop.

Yes I've seen some that are 3D printed and are amazing looking.

Here is the same model but this guy changed the color and used 3D printed wire wheels. This one looks fantastic. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
