The parts look very good - far better than the old Revell kit.
Great to see the bonnet louvres are actually open.
Watching out for it in my local shops.
I'll get issue 1 to see what it's like.
Being a Jaguar fan, the magazine is worth £3-£4 to me on its own.
That makes the actual kit flippin' cheap.
Roy.

Looks very good. Any idea who did the the design and tooling work? i'm hoping it's more the quality of the Countach { by Kyosho] than the Shelby Mustang [PremuimX?].
This should be a hands down winner for popularity............

This should be a hands down winner for popularity............ Really the Countach is better quality then the Shelby? That's awesome, since the Shelby is my first car from DeAg and so far I think it's great quality. That means when I finally get the lambs I will enjoy it even more.

Now this is one i will certainly go for. Been thinking of a car kit as my next purchase and this would fit the bill exactly. Not sure if its better to wait until the hopefully full launch or if subscribing now helps the decision to launch the model even though it may only run at this stage to a few issues. Happy Modelling

Well even though its only a test at the moment I have gone and subscribed to this one if for no other reason that it will add to the picture of just how popular this model will be. There was talk of a Mini a year or so back which I would have been keen on but this one for me has it all. For one I wanted to build a car but was not over keen on the present offerings (nothing wrong with them but not cars that actually appeal to me personally). This one though Wow. Racing green, an icon, its got it all. Happy Modelling

its beginning to feel this one might become nearly as popular (if not as popular) as their excellent Millenium Falcon. For me who know nothing about cars this is just such a fantastic looking machine and in model form at this scale its got to be a winner. Happy Modelling

"Oh Happy Days are here again" Just phoned in and my account is now active and i should get my first parts in 14-21 days time. So glad i have put temptation on hold over the last few weeks or i may have committed to something else and regretted it as i really wanted to build a car model and this one had the appeal for me.
