1/72 scale Jag XK-120

[mr moto]

A quick fun little project to recharge my batteries. A Glencoe re-issue of an old ITC kit from about 1955. They don't get much older! The small size wasn't much of a problem because of the low parts count and minimal detail. I lowered the stance and replaced the wheels and tires with some from old Aurora Model Motoring cars.

BTW, the Glencoe box art shows an XK-150 but I think ITC originally showed what was in the box.

Thanks for looking!

Cool!.... I like how the toothpicks in the background give some perception of the tiny scale?

I do have the Ferrari in my stash.

What a charming little thing, really puts it into perspective when considering it's smaller than a typical HW/Matchbox diecast.

That's a good looking little Jag.  I have trouble with the 1:25 scale so no way I could build one that small.

Looks good.

Wow, that a cool little model. Is it permissible to use the word 'cute'? Nice work in small scale. Very cool!

There may be less part count and details. But the work to achieve this is definitely there. My eyeballs hurt just thinking building something like this. Kudos to you and your skills.

Thank you everyone. I swear it was easy!

Glencoe offers a number of these mini-kits and I'll probably buy  some more - after I build the Ferrari. They're great fun!
