Looking good so far.
Yes, the wheels are fiddly but they look great when built.

You know when you get close to finishing a model and you just power on through to get it done and forget to take photos.Well that is what I did with the Jag. Overall excellent build.The wire wheels were a bit fiddly, but they look fantastic.Fit was spot on and the detail and finish are really nice. Carl darbyvet attached the following image(s):

Nice collection you have yourself there Carl. I need to get some finished pictures of my Jag posted in the finished build gallery. I managed the first 2 wheels with the 3 way cross over with no problems but when i finally picked it up again i could not get the same effect so ended up breaking down the first 2 wheels and doing them all as the 2 way cross over. Really bugged me that i could not get that bit right. Tony Happy Modelling

A very nice build, Carl. You should be very proud. Those wheels certainly do look a bit fiddly. Back in my youth, I owned a 4.2 Mk 1 Type Jaguar and I decided to refurb the wire wheels on that. I still wish to this day that I had left it to the experts to rebuild them!  . Thanks for showing us your car. Chris

Turned out great Carl! I don't blame you for rushing to the finish. It looks great with the rest of your very nice collection. I envy your display case. Thanks for sharing! -Dustin

A great build there. It's good to see another Jag on the forum.
I bet you're chuffed with the result.
Roy.

thanks everyone.I was driving home on Saturday and there must have been a car show locally as tons of vintage cars were driving past me.I saw MGs, Triumphs, and yes I also saw an E type up close.It was awesome.

So are you telling us you didn`t stop, block the road off and take a hundred pictures.  I thought about it for sure. there are usually some good car shows near where I live in the summer, but they were all cancelled.I am guessing this was a private meet. Carl
