Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Well i've finally got my act together & started building again after a long time away from the hobby.
Here's the kit im going to try and complete. Its a Hasegawa Jaguar XJS with full (V12) engine detail. Undecided on the wheels. Think i'll go for the Fujimi spokes seen here in the mock up, the stock wheels shown seem a bit clumsy i think. Well here it is all primered up waiting for paint which will be TS-11 (Maroon) Interior will be a sandy colour. Thanks for looking, Mike      Clumsy stock wheels.........!!!

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Nice stuff! The stock wheels look pretty good I think, it's the tractor-like tyres that makes them look strange. Spoke wheels are better, tho'. Keep it up!

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Sweet!
Looking forward to seeing the progress. This was one of the coolest cars around when I was in high school in a small (35k) town. I'm gonna have to dust off my old Revell snapper and post a pix now.

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Another Jag, finally someone to share my experiences with the Hasegawa kit with. For such a good modeler as you are, you shouldn´t face any problems with the some issues the kit has (hood, windows and rear fender).
Good luck and I´m psyched to see it finished! If you like to, you can check my progress thread on the Hasegawa TWR XJS http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...ghlight=jaguar

Re: Progress Jaguar XJS.............
Cool project! I have the XJS TWR street version awaiting the day to get built. I really enjoyed building the standard XJS when it came out a couple decades ago
 Here's pics of it, use them as built reference for things like hood fit, ride height, etc. I'd have been a lot more careful building it now vs. then
