Another excellent Jag Matt. The hood and interior look particularly good. I think the first pic is my favourite.

Wow! You must have a b-i-g studio.

Wait a min' – 1/24th scale? You must be joking. Awesome.

Thanks, guys!

@BeowulfShaeffer - the E-type is the classic 1/25 Revell offering, from the early 60s. It's actually a great kit, and made it into our 101 Gems display at Telford last year. I do have a GS one as well, but it's rather more challenging - a whole lot of white metal to build for the engine and spaceframe, and photoetch to fold for the underbonnet ducting etc. I also have a Heller Coupe, which is like a slightly scaled-up version of the Revell.

The latter will get built here before too long!

bestest,
M.

thanks for that

i did the basic gunze sangyo one awhile back with an Austin Powers UJ scheme and found it a nice kit, although cos it was kerbside i had wished it had a tilt bonnet and a lovely engine to show off
