Nice job on that Revell Jag Convertible! I wasn't aware of the 100th Anniversary kit until you had mentioned it to me. Looks like a nice kit! I fired up the paintbooth and did some paintin' today! The interior and the body was painted today and they both look good! Maybe this will come out better than my '21 Charger R/T did.    |

Thanks Joe! That is Dupli-Color Forest Green Pearl which has turned out to be my favorite dark green paint.

It'll take some time, but I'll get it done! I did some work on the Jag XK-E this afternoon. I installed the rear axle and suspension uprights. Then I installed the drive shaft and the engine. Some time ago, I ordered some parts due to a short shot or lack of a formed part and I received them fairly quickly. I noticed that the torsion bars (I think that's what they are) seemed to have suffered the same thing. I'll either leave them as is or maybe replace them with a similar size sprue.    |

Looks good. What parts did you need replaced? I should check mine!

So far, it has been most of the bracing that goes around the engine. Parts no. E23, E24 and E65.

A comparison between your sprues and mine show no abnormalities between the two. You are good to go! I looked around for my old parts and I must have thrown them away. I used some styrene rod and replaced the bad pieces. I use this rod often and I should get some more.

I've made replacement parts with plastic rod before too... always good to have extra on hand!!!

Absolutely! I worked on the Jag Coupe today and in the hour I had, I got some done. Firewall is in, steering is done, much painting is done, rear suspension is complete and the exhaust system is on.    |

Thanks Joe!
Some people are saying, "An hour? I could have done it in less time!" Well, I'm a slow builder and if you don't like that, too bad!
