Tamiya Jaguar XJ220
Well then! After some initial foul-ups, I give you the Jaguar XJ220. It is the Tamiya kit; very well engineered for an older model. It was originally TS-43 Racing Green... but after some catastrophic humidity problems it took a bath in brake fluid.
On a whim, I picked up some of the new Model Masters Custom Lacquer System paint: Plymouth Bright Platinum Metallic. I must say, I am impressed after the first coat! It sprays well and dries evenly. Also, the color itself contains more metallic particles than most metallic paint, and even after it dried flat, it still looks glossy from the "sparkle".  I spent quite some time on the engine. It is airbrushed with Model Masters Aluminum Plate Metallizer, and details are painted with Tamiya acrylics and Testors enamels. Wiring was done with some fine steel wire, and the hose clamps are BMF strips.   I'm not yet satisfied with the exhausts. I plan to paint black inside the tips.   Heat staining was done with an airbrush and MM Burnt Iron metallizer. Finally, the interior is airbrushed in Tamiya XF-19 Sky Gray and XF-22 RLM Gray.  That's it for now, but I'll have more soon. Comments and constructive criticism are always welcome. Thanks for looking!

Wow, that body color looks very good even at it's beginning stages. That engine detail very realistic! Can't wait for more progress.

Re: Tamiya Jaguar XJ220
These are awesome, breathtaking cars. They just got screwed by circumstance and poor timing.
I've seen two in my life, and have been itching to go back and stare some more... Looks like you're off to a fantastic second-start.

sweet! you're doing my favorite car! good job--metallic colours work well on this car's curves. this kit's a good one overall, but i had trouble getting the body to sit low enough on the chassis when i built it 5 years ago
