Revell Jaguar E-Type Roadster

My Uncle had 2 Jag XK-E's, both bought new in the 1960's. I've built many models, starting with the Aurora 1/24, one from Revell, and the HUGE 1/8 by Monogram all in the 60's. Then I bought or was given several diecast versions, in 1/18 and 1/24-25 scale. None of them really did the beauty of the car justice- but this new one by Revell Germany does! The thing previous attempts blew was the unique covered headlights, which in person are so stunning- likely what brought Enzo Ferrari to say it was the most beautiful car in the world. This model captures that and the attention to minute detail is spot on. The decal sheet is a big plus too, even printing a copy of the factory service manual cover, which I remember my Uncle had in his cars! -see the first photo attached. All of the gauges are included for the dash as well. Do take your time with the kit and get the right paints to finish it off. This kit deserves it!

Con la calidad tradicional de Revell aunque la caja un poco maltratada pero el contenido sin problemas.

After many hours of building and painting and assembling, near the end the finishing parts needed were incorrect. They had put 'I' instead of 'L' parts and when I contacted the manufacturer they responded saying that they don't ship internationally. Some parts warped as well. A bit disappointing after so many hours spent putting it all together.

Very good, accurate and detailed kit.Would buy from this seller again.

Snabb leverans och mycket bra pris.
