1/8th Revell Jaguar E type FHC (Silver Blue)

Final finished photos of the ‘62 Jaguar E type FHC

Morning Ron,
Clean as always, decals home made too?

Fabulous work once again Ron and without taken anything away from the build whatsoever, It's just a shame you couldn't find any 1/8th Dunlop racing wheels.

Great result Ron. Well done!

Thanks All
Thanks Al.....Yes, a set of wide steels would have made it perfect. I believe these wheels are made under BRM branding now.
Just a note : The Goodwood Revival weekend is coming up soon, with a live feed on 8th/10th. September......put it in your diary !

Thanks Ash, yep homemade decals. ......You do realise that the driver of most of my 1/8th cars is my alter ego ‘Gene Gilleno’ ? He’s my Batman to Bruce Wayne, Superman to Clark Kent - the guy that wins races and can afford to build these cars for real.
By the way, my middle name is Eugene.

What a nice build!

If that's car paint, have you got a code number thingy for the colour Ron?

Beautiful...
I have no idea which direction to go with mine. Although, I do have pictures of one I saw at a show that was plum crazy purple with a Ford 5.0 in it...

Thanks
I have no idea of the paint code Shay, but my model is painted in BMW Liquid Blue from the local Halfords.
Cheers Sam, I tried squeezing a V8 in the E type frame, but it wouldn’t, and needed a completely new chassis - maybe the Corvette chassis and block could be squeezed under the Jaguar body without too much fuss.....you never know ?

Hmmmm, I have the 1985 Corvette....

But if they did it in the real thing?

I've seen smallblocks in E-types in Hot Rod and in Street Machine. I think they were both the later bigger V 12 2+2 model.

Halfords colour is good enough for me Ron, thanks.
