My 1/24 Jaguar XK8 **PICS!**

[Jumpman_Z]

Here are some pics of my Jaguar XK8. It's a 1/24 Maisto metal kit, it was pretty easy to build, and almost all parts snap together. I built this a month ago, but I just wanted to work on a few things before I took pictures of it.
I did a few things to make it look a little different than the regular model. At first, the interior was molded in black (or dark gray), so I painted it with white primer, and used a uniball ink pen to color in all of the red, except for the dashboard, I painted that (I didn't think the red went with the original woodgrain dashboard). Also, I don't really like the way the XK8's grill is made (looks like a bunny), so I didn't put it on, and instead glued two little rubber things on the front. I used superglue, which was very stupid, because the supeglue aired out, and covered some of the paint with white. Luckily, I was able to get most of it off, and I polished the body, so that it would be even less noticeable. I also added some bare-metal foil along the window sills and gas cap (still haven't decided if it looks better that way) and I painted the headlights black. I think that gives it a more aggressive look.
One more stupid thing that I did, I put the front emblem in the wrong place. It's supposed to be right above the grill instead of on the hood, but I didn't bother removing it, because I was afraid that I'd mess the decal up.
Well, I talk to much. Everyone, please give me any helpful criticism, I'm trying to improve my skills.

Wow, good job, it looks like my 1:18 diecast version also made by Maisto.
