discussion Tamiya 1/24 Jaguar XJR-9 LM

[Wendall]

I Finished this one a few months ago. I've always loved the 80's Le Mans cars so thought I'd have a crack at this.

There were a few problems with fit which you can see in the photos, particularly the engine cover which still wont sit quite right. The Silk Cut decals are after markets from ebay, I paid quite a bit for them and they turned out to be cheap laser printed ones and very thin. They reacted when I clear coated them and it took ages to flat and polish and then re-clear. I wont lie it nearly ended up in the bin on more than one occasion. Anyway I managed to persist and get it to a level I was happy with so here it is.

A superb Build Jason............ Glad it never went in the bin........... I've had one or two that have come close, and the Loambo Countach I'm struggling with at the moment is starting to look like a good candidate.

5***** from me.Jason.
