Heard a lot of good about this kit and couldn't wait to get it. When I did I started it right away and it went so well I finished it. a very nice kit with only a few minorfit problems. Revell certainly stepped up to the plate on this one. Color is Tamiya LP33 Gray green + LP-49 clear pearl. Then finished with a coat of pearl then a clear coat of MR Color G100 Super clear. Features on this kit include steering wheels, opening hood and a really nice decal sheet with lots of options. I added a few details and they can be found in the captions under the pictures. Thanks for looking and comments welcome. Interior is difficult to see so this shot was taken before final assembly. Seats and interior are painted using custom mixed Tamiya flats. I mixed some of the exterior color into these colors to make the interior blend better. Woodgrain required several steps. Note the shift pattern on the knob...came with decal sheet. Left side of the engine. With all the accessories it really fills the engine compartment. Revell was thoughtful enough to include the "Prince of Darkness" decal. Right side engine. I added the wiring. There was a lot of detail painting to be done. Note the half filled water bottle. Lots of checking had to be done on this kit to make sure the hood closed properly. There was some cutting and grinding here and there but it snapped down nicely in the end. Under carriage and suspension had a lot of detail so why not show it. finished car on its wheels. all the trim, bumpers and windows fit nicely...that was a relief. Rear view shows all the attention to detail again. I glued the front clip to the nose and sanded the seam. The bumpers in the back cover the seam. The body was installed to the chassis and this area did not need to be glued. It fit that good. Side view shows the beautiful lines of the E-Jag that many consider one of the best looking cars ever. Thought it might be interesting to see different manufactureers take on this car . Metallic green is the Heller. White convertible is Gunze/Sangyo hi tech and in the back the dark green Aurora that was built sometime in the dark ages. The Gunze has been my long time favorite but we will see when I get the roadster version of this kit.
