bh1701 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Finished an AMT Jaguar XJ220 kit that had been sitting in my stash of old, unbuilt models. Paint is Testor's Model Master Lacquer Bright Platinum Metallic. Thanks, Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby 427 1965 Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Didn't know AMT made one of these! Gorgeous build, looks flawless. That coupled with Tamiya's wheels and you'd never know the difference between it and the Tamiya one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phildaupho Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 You did a nice job on this Jag which I always thought was a very good looking car. I built one of these AMT kits many years ago and in retrospect it was a surprisingly good kit but kind of surprising it was from AMT although when you think of it there were many other surprising releases from AMT back in the 1990's !!

I agree. It was a well-engineered kit. One of the other AMT kits from the 90's that I recently built was their Dodge Viper. That kit was well-designed, too!

bh1701 Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 When you look at your photos, you often notice something you forgot to do. ? In this case, I had neglected to paint some black on the ends of the exhaust pipes. This has since been corrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt Tuttle Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Don't think I have ever seen one built up, didn't know it existed from AMT either. Lookin' good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 A really good looking Jaguar. Did the windows come tinted or did you add the tint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Van Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 You made it look good!!!!! Kinda a odd kit for AMT at the time..........I recall when they raced the real car on NASCAR type short tracks....and beat them up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave..the race series was called Fast Masters and was a made for television series featuring retired drivers over 50. It ran in 1993 and featured many racers from all forms of racing. I had the opportunity to talk to George Follmer (one of the participants) about it and he was none to happy about how it was run or managed. It would seem he had one race all locked up until David Pearson decided to intentionally punt him into the wall. Suffice to say George did not spare the expletives. Check it out on Google if you are interested. Some good history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The windows came tinted. Makes it pretty hard to see the black interior! After I completed it, I wished that I would have cut the "door windows" out so you'd be able to see inside the interior better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I have both the Tamiya, and this AMT Jag, and i must say that you did a FANTASTIC job on this build!!!, but also, other than wheel, and tyre size, tailights, and a bit of details, this kit IS VERY nice, and even has some really neat details that Tamiyas doesnt have, like the bonnet opening with decent detail inside. I will be building mine within the next few years. Again, WELL DONE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
