discussion Cheap Jag E Type

[Guest]

Pity this wasn't 1/24 scale or I would have bought one, but at 1/32 it's too small. I like to keep to 1/24 or larger. Good buy for a fiver though.

I agree. Way too tiny.

Looks good painted British racing green though , a bloke in our club built one oob and it looked fantastic

I've built one, the parts fit was awful but it did scrub up well in the end

I've built three, and have another three in my stash.


A brilliant little model for hacking into different versions.


I've made a Cunningham lightweigh, low-drag coupe and E2A.


Yes it's small, but my advice, buy a few!!!


(As per a different thread - I'm not 'highjacking' or posting a pointless pic - it's intended to show what can be done with this little cheap kit.)

Yes I can see that it can be made into several versions and you have made a nice job of them, but they are just that bit too small, for my liking.

 

[Guest]

I agree - bigger is better, but they are fun (and cheap) to bodgellate.


Personally, I like 'em BIG.......
