Today, I pulled this one off the shelf, removed the Pegasus TT2'S and stuck the stock wheels and tires on it to take a photo for a different thread. While I had it out, I took a few others and thought I would post them. Some of you may remember when I posted it originally with the custom wheels. For those that don't remember it or haven't seen it before, it's an original MPC promo that I restored a few years ago. The interior got the bucket seats cut loose, holes in the floor patched, floorpan was then flocked with baking soda, painted to match and the bucket seats got brackets to get them up off of the floor. It was painted with Model Masters Artesian Turquoise with Bright Aqua accents. On the body, I repaired a hole in the right front wheel opening along with what seemed like hundreds of nicks and scratches. Once it was ready for paint, I covered it with the same Model Masters Artesian Turquoise and covered that with Testors Clear. The grille was opened and it along with the rear bumper and wheel covers were sent to LittleMotorKarCo for new chrome. The tires are original and just got the tread sanded. Something I really like about these old promos is that you can do a simple wheel swap in a matter of minutes and totally change the look of it. Thanx for checking it out!

I've been wanting an XJS kit since seeing a completed Jag on the forum. I seem to recall that the Hasegawa XJS is a good kit. Opinions are appreciated!
