Should have used this one for your demo at playday hohohoho
Another excellent model well under way

Back to the Jag, struggling to get the bonnet to fit correctly.
Maybe the big hammer will come into play as my patience wears thin!

Well, after a struggle and some major surgery, the bonnet fits, the downside of this is that it cannot be opened and the engine, is invisible.
I always seem to mark the paint as well. Obviously I do not have the patience required to build a model to the standard that I would be proud of.
The fit of the parts was pretty poor and needed a lot of work to reach the stage I am at.
The lights were a bit of a disaster and some of the chrome fits poorly.

It still looks great - depends on how you feel about the finished model, Howard will allways spot any small blemish on the paint work hohohoho - wish I could do a model to that standard

I was wondering how to display my not so great cars, then, the perfect solution, here they are on their way to Thornton Le Dale - Bangers for cash!

All very nice Dave - great display. The E type does look rather good.

If you need to, hide the E type in the middle of the lower deck on the transporter?

It is if you look!

From the same box as the Jaguar, This is a Datsun 240Z, Datsun are now know as Nissan.
This is another old kit that was recycled in 1986.
Still need to fit the exhaust and sort the sit of the model out.
The odd bit to touch up too.

Looking very nice Dave.

This is the last of the trio.
This is a Porche Speedster, again from 1960 and repackaged in 1986 for this Car and Driver re-box.
The parts were badly formed and the fit was poor, I cannot get the wheels any better without major surgery, so I have left them alone, they seem too wide for the body.
Anyway here it is.
Lastly the three kits together.

I bought this on EBay for a reasonable price,
It is from Nitto.
On opening the box, this is what you see (2nd photo), a really well presented kit, the rest of the parts were underneath.

That should keep you busy for a day or so.
The Speedster looks good in silver.

Thanks Chris, are we the only two on here?

Fear not Zak,
I'm watching but can't get my mojo going.
