wyatt Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 You're off to a great start. That is really looking nice. Have you done any mods to it or is it out-of-the-box? wyatt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corwyn34 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Thank you very much Wyatt ! Only paint job, all parts have been spray painted. Also added a decal on the ignition coil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyatt Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Aww, that would explain why it looks less plastic like. I went out on the web to look at other builds and yours has that extra snap. Keep up the great work. wyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corwyn34 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Thank you again, Wyatt ! I must say that I was rather disapointed when I see that de main engine's parts were plastic ones... I found some intersting information on model-space on how to paint it (Construisez votre Jaguar E-Type | Altaya ModelSpace (model-space.com) - see pack 04). I use "Motip" car spray (spray for "real" car - Motip : Bombe de peinture Motip - Bombedepeinture.fr), it fits perfectly well. The most difficult is masking... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyatt Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 You're on the right track. Going the extra bit to make it stand out. Sometimes the partwork kit components look like Burago diecast in their simplicity. Which is a shame. But it gives model builders a challenge. It's going to be a beauty when you finish. Keep the pics coming. wyatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsessivebldr Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Looks Great! I intend to do the same thing with my kit.........paint the engine block black. I'm also going to change out the wiring as it doesn't seem to "lay right" according to pics I have of the 1:1. One HUGE change I want to do when the time comes is change the window regulators. I don't like what I'm seeing so far with how the windows wind up and down. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corwyn34 Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi ! According to pictures I found on the web, wiring is not so bad. I don't see what you mean about the window regulators, I will follow your build with great curiosity ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corwyn34 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) I must confess, I made a mistake: I chose the 24 months payment... So it's a long, long way... Some pics of the engine, now finished: all decals are from ebay ((roymatthewblack). And the Lucas Battery from Modelmodz .

mikedm Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Hey corwyn34, Very, very nice, commend you for the detail work. If you are on the monthly, contact support and ask them to finish out the kit in one final sale. This can be done cause I did it with the Shelby. Keep up the great work...
