Jaguar XJ220 Progress PICS pt. I (Engine
I've been working on my AMT/Ertl Jaguar XJ220 kit, and so far I've completed the engine, shown below. The cam gears were covered in Krome foil, and I went over them in Sapphire Metallic blue to give them that powercoated look. Alot was already chrome plated, and I painted the transmission and block chrome, the letters were painted Sapphire Metallic blue, the valve covers were painted aluminum, and the belts were painted flat black (obviously).
I put the engine together using mostly white glue (used a little super glue for the intake plenums), which I find to be stronger when gluing painted parts, plus it's not as messy for me, and dries quicker. I just applied it with a toothpick. So what do you guys think? Hopefully, I'll have the interior completed sometime next week.

Thanks, man. It's gonna be pretty much box stock, except I'm going to put some mesh wheels on it, and the body is painted black purple metallic. I'm almost finished with the body, just got to put the clear coat on. I'll post more pics soon.
