Jaguar XJR-9 Test Version

Hi motorsport-lovers,


This is my first WIP in the Motorsport section. I've been lurking around this sub-forum for a while, and was very impressed with the quality of level being displayed. I hope I can learn from all of you.

I am currently building the full-detailed 1988 Jaguar XJR-9 Test Version. The color will be TS-9 British Green, I chose this color because of its darker nature in comparison to TS-43. Here is a pic of the testcar from Exoto website.


I used the SMS CF template for the cockpit and absolutely loved it. It took so much blood and tears, but I think the final result is worth it.




For the radiator grille, I used S27 PE pieces, coolant hose, and sakatsu.

Here it is again after blackwashing.


The brakes used three PE pieces from S27 and SMS. I also decided to go with the slotted rotor from S27, instead of cross-drilled from SMS.




That's it for now, I apologized for the lack of comparison with the ref photos(I forgot where I put my USB )

Please voice your opinions and suggestions, thank you!
