Jaguar XJS TWR sports UTE (pickup conversion)

This time I'm building the abbreviation nightmare



Base kit is the Jaguar XJS TWR sports from Hasegawa. I never liked the ugly plastic bumpers TWR put on this otherwise beautiful car. I thought about making it a phantom racer with big fender flares and heavily modded bodykit....but then I found a better solution. I am converting it to a UTE (utility vehicle = pickup). It will pull a trailer loaded with a Jaguar XJS H.E. TWR in full race trim.

I started with outlining the cutting lines:





After sawing and moving the rear roof section forward it looks like this:















Now I have to shape it. Don't expect updates before next weekend

C&C as always welcome.

Cheers
Sebastian
