Ian,
Count me in for this, it's a great idea.

Glad you could join in and watch this develop. Like I said it is just a fun build.

probably the best thing you can do to an airfix e type lol

 

[Bobby Conkers]

Brilliant!

 

[takeslousyphotos]

I have to watch this Ian. It'll be epic.

 

[papa 695]

Ok I’ve got the car internals and wheels done. Just need to get it all together then I can see how the wings and tail can be fitted to it.

How fabulous. What are you proposing as a paint job? For some reason I'm picturing a plastic version of Ru Paul's Drag Race...

I was thinking of having the front end of the car painted one colour ( not decided what yet ) then fading in the Sepcat Jaguar wrap around camo for the rest.

I’m quite in agreement with you there Paul.

Thanks Tim, I've just seen a video of the Revell stand at the Nurnberg show, and it showed a 1/24 E-type new tool with the engine and hood open looks good. it says available October.
