Now it is onto painting the molded in engine/bay detail.

The wings are built up too, all photoetched brass.

Nice work!
That's the Starter kit, right? You don't get to see them often, and this one goes for good money usually in the bay. I like those 43rd scale kits with engine detail, but i'm not a big fan of this molded in stuff. Have a few in my stash though :-)

Be careful with that Starter kit. I built a bunch of them for Tony Dow when he was with TWR and I remember the rear bodywork is not correct on the XJR-16 kit and is more XJR11 since they didn't change the master.

The interior is pretty much done…

Wheels and tires are almost done; I just noticed some silvering on the lettering, too much handling no doubt…

Now for the fun part. I started with a base of dark gray.

My plan is to paint the deeper stuff and back my way out. Still plenty more to do. It is slow going as I need to let each layer dry before building on it.

Wow! that is a sersiouly detailed 1 piece engine casting! Youve done a great job of making it look right! Is this a 1:48 scale model?

molded-in parts in that scale are never easy jobs and your work just made it look easy. nice work!

It is actually 1/43rd scale.

The engine bay painting is mostly done, time to move on to the suspension and other assembly details…

Looking fantastic.
That's an awesome lot of (very well painted) detail crammed in there...
