Jaguar XJR-16

I have the body painted and decaled.


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

The wings are built up too, all photoetched brass.

Re: Jaguar XJR-16

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 :-)

Re: Jaguar XJR-16

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.

Re: Jaguar XJR-16

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.

Re: Jaguar XJR-16

It is actually 1/43rd scale.

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

Re: Jaguar XJR-16

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