Jaguar Mk. II Saloon
Posted by Mr Mike on Monday, May 7, 2018 7:54 PM

This is my Jag Mk. II painted with 3 coats of Polly Scale CSX Blue and 3 coats of Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear with a Tamiya AS-25 Dark Ghost Grey interior.  I used Bare Metal Foil in place of the metal transfer strips that didn't want to stick.

Cool!  I had a 4.0 S-Type 10 or so years ago and they front end gives a nod to this saloon.

Thanks,

John

I love it. There's an elegance to the old Jag that's not to be found in more contemporary cars. What kit is it?

What kit is it? 

This is the Tamiya Jaguar Mk. II Saloon model kit in 1/24th scale.  It's a great kit!

Nice! My Dad had one of these in the 1960s, or a version of. It looked a lot like this. He picked it up cheap and later sold it cheap. I imagine it would be worth some money today. That thing was built like a tank. It had a beautiful wood dash, and a cool button you'd push to start the car.

Hmmm.

Reminds me of one in BRG I had . The only difference was mine must've been older . It said Jaguar on it but it has a more verticle grill . Looked kind of like a downscale Bentley !

 Definitely looked regal when clean and those Rudge wires gleamed in the sun !

Mike, that's a gorgeous bit of work!

That color has a jewel-like quality...just like on the real thing. Big Smile

Thanks guys!  Isn't it funny how we can mix and match the types of paint for a certain build.  I have seen this model in several colors, but not in blue.
