Hi all from a newbie in sunny UK...

Welcome Antony.

Welcome to the forum Antony.
In a nut shell: If you cant get an answer on here, there isn't one! lol
Think the E-type was a very good looking car.... until you put a lid on it. To me it's one of the few cars that look great as a cabriolet but a bit odd with a hard top.
Jaguar type D now that was sexy!

Welcome Antony - E-type Jaguars are very cool (have we suddenly acquired an 'Antony Powers' type secret agent - the spy who glued me .... ?)
Steve

:smiling5:
"So pass the glue, baby!" Mr Powers might have said... "We wouldn't want to come unstuck, now would we?"

Welcome from me as well Anthony. I’ve always thought of the E type as the second best looking bit of British engineering ever made, so that’s a great subject to introduce yourself with :thumb2:

:smiling4:
You got me intrigued now: Only the second best bit of British engineering - Enzo clearly thought otherwise - so what do you consider the best? Not the Metro? :smiling6: I was the custodian of a Jaguar XK8 for a few years a few years ago, and that had nice curves... almost directly from the AM DB7 designer of course...

Welcome to the friendliest forum on the internet Antony - I'm an E-type fan as well, but never built one bigger than 1:24.
Pete

I kept looking at the 1:24 version, but considered my 'mind of their own' fingers would end up in knots, attempting one. The 1:8 suddenly appeared - cheapish - at Xmas and so I grabbed it... and when I finally opened the box the tummy bubbles started. :worried:

Spitfire, natch!

With that wondrous Merlin engine doing its magic no doubt...

Antony,
welcome to the forum - asking questions? absolutely no problem, if one of us doesn't know the answer - somebody else will know where to find it! All genres covered!
Dave

Cheers. I have a few parts missing from the Jaguar kit - although I could probably be fashioning them myself - but I might be asking, here, what Revell are like at handing out missing parts from these older model kits. I took a peak at their on-line set up and it looks like a huge Corporate (:sad caboodle now!

There are quite a few oldie Jag classics that are truly jaw dropping - oh yeah.

what Revell are like at handing out missing parts

They have one of the best parts service going. If they have the part that is. Some older kits might be a problem but in general they are very good.

Antony,
service used to be good, although since Brexit things seem to have become more complicated. I got asked to pay for replacement parts - and postage, which made the bits almost as expensive as a new model! Still, you can only try....................
