1961-1964 Series 1 E-Type Jaguar (Revell)

Lovely work as usual Dave. Well done.

So the side windows go in as one long piece, and you either have to bmf or paint chrome trim on I assume?

Any pics Dave?

If you can find a cheap built up Tamiya Mk 2 Jag, the wire wheels really are miles better.

Fabulous work as usual mate.

That's right, I had to cut the glass up first and check the fit. I just used silver paint rather than fart around with BMF, I was getting sick of the sight of the thing near the end. No pics beyond what's here. Sorry.

Can't really get on too well with the bmf myself either Dave.

It seems to come easy to some people, but they are all liers! lol

Unbelievable! Did you say that you painted the felt carpet ?

It's never 'easy' Shay but you just don't try hard enough or often enough.

In this case the felt was already red but in the past I have used a beige colour then dyed it with inks. An example was with my LFA where I used plasma red ink.

Al, the Mk 2 Jag nearly drove me mental with the bmf.

You are right though, I have a reasonable stash of dreadful old stuff now which I like. I think everything has a V8 which won't surprise you.

Saving the pennies for a new basic laptop. I will make a start again as soon as I can.

Great thread, and great model too !
.....wish I’d opened out the tailgates of my 1/8th scales now. 🥴

What do you use to make the carpet material out of?

Looks great. Do you find it at your local craft store?

I can usually get some nice self adhesive sheets in various colours from Hiroboy. It seems to be just right. Another source is stealing the felt from old jewellery boxes or jigsaw mats. I'm always on the lookout for things lying about.
