I received my 1/24th scale Revell Jaguar E-Type kit 2 weeks ago. I live in Texas. A Facebook friend told me that he received his kit from Ebay with free shipping to the USA. I was hooked and ordered mine straight away.. Like the full-sized Jaguars, my kit was shipped from Great Britain. Seems rather appropriate! I am very impressed with the level of detail included and overall quality Revell has provided. I was delighted to find your excellent series of videos on building this fine kit. I appreciate your honest appraisal of the kit's problem areas and your helpful building tips. You did a very nice job on your build! I agree that the simulated wire wheels aren't bad once they receive a wash to provide depth and contrast. I have ordered hand laced wire wheels from Fernando Pinto in Portugal for 2 of my recent builds. I like the way his wire wheels compliment my sports car models. I am waiting on some 3D printed resin wire wheels in 1/24th scale. I intend to compare the kit wheels to hand laced wire spoke wheels and the 3D printed ones. I must admit that both the aftermarket wheels mentioned above cost more than the kit. You have built a very nice looking E-Type from the kit without aftermarket upgrade components. I salute you and have just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your build experience!
Thank you for your kind words, Stephen. It's a great kit and I'm glad you are building one yourself. I had looked at those hand made wire wheels for the Alfa Romeo I just made and they do look amazing - I'm glad with how the kit ones turned out though. Thanks for subscribing and watching too! I hope to build the roadster some time too!
Wow, congratulations Thomas on 1000 subscribers! I love this video of the E Type, and your pop up facts are fun to read! Here’s to you having 2000 subscribers soon😃👏
Well done on 1k subs Thomas, won't be long until 5k. As you have very kindly been test pilot on this kit I decided to start mine. Spent 3 days preparing the body for primer so its going to be a while yet!
Thanks a lot Worden. I think spending time on the body is worth it - I noticed a couple of tiny sink marks on mine when I was well into polishing it so nothing I could do about it then! I think I'd like to get the convertible too but I'm not sure I'll be building another Jag straight away. 5k seems a long way away! 😂 But I appreciate the support!
Looks great, great job. I was checking on line for availability and I found one, in stock at a local craft store. I also found a 20% off coupon so I guess I will be picking one of these up this weekend. I'll definitely build it on my channel, thanks for the inspiration. Have a great weekend.
1k! Well done! Love your videos and especially the info snippets and background you give us on your builds👌 you are very easy to listen to and informative. Seems everyone is building this kit, big anniversary! Scalemodelchannel is next up, saw you commented. Keep up the good work my friend....im currently building aoshima 1/12 honda cb400f super sport, you should try it!!
Thank you Paul, very kind and I'm glad I seem to be doing some things right! Yeah, I look forward to seeing how Tom builds it. Good luck with that! I've been meaning to get a bike one of these days.
Congratulations with 1000 subs Thomas. E-type looks very nice, wire wheels look superb .I can't look in your wallet (haha) and I don't want to push you but If I liked the E-type I would still build the Heller as well. It would be nice to see them side by side and compare. I'm sure the Revell is the better kit but maybe you find something that's easyer or better on the Heller. Now something totally different: as you are a Jaguar fan I looked it up for you Burago has also some nice Jaguar's 1:18 E-type Coupé, E-type Convertible, Mark II (1959), in 1:24 XK-120 (1951) and more recent XKR-S and in 1:43 F-type R. They're basically snap-together kits with a diecast body, so easy to pull apart and improve details and/or change the body colour. If you compare the 1:24 diecast is cheaper and will last a lot longer than a 1:24 plastic kit. Take your time and think about it. It would bring a whole new dimension to your channel. There are a lot of UA-camrs that do something like this with small cars like Matchbox, HotWheels, CorgiToys and DinkyToys. But nobody does the bigger scales. BTW nice to put in the wedding pictures, thanks.
Thank you very much Ed. Yeah, I may do something like that - Jaguar is my favourite brand (my uncle works for them) and they have appeared on the channel a few times. I have the Heller 1/43 XJR9 to build which I can compare to the Hasegawa 1/24 some time. Diecast does interest me and I'd love to make an F-type. I have a very old Dinky toy Lotus 25 (probably 1/64) which I have thought about restoring some time. I think I just need some spares first. Thanks again!
@@BOABModelsYes the Jaguar F-type is a very nice car. I think Welly has a type F jaguar in 1:24. And it's not just Burago, they're also nice cars from Welly, MotorMax, Maisto and Jada in 1:24 and 1:18. These cars are very good value for money and I'm sure if you put that on your channel, you will hit 2000+ subs in no time.
Congratulations on the 1,000 subscribers, well deserved. I think the upright parts of the bumpers are called over riders, not sure though. The poor woman having to get into the Jaguar in a wedding dress, obviously a man chose the car :) joking The model turned out really well, camera and lights will always show any marks or imperfections, don't let it concern you, if you're pleased with it then it's a winner :)
Thanks a lot, Sarah Jane. Overriders sounds familiar! Haha - it wasn't that practical I suppose but it was lovely. Especially as we had the weather to drop the roof. Thank you, I am pleased with the model. I think it will help me though if I brighten up my building space too.
I think that you did a good job on the paintwork considering that you used an aerosol. They are o.k. for full size cars, but problematic at 1/24 scale. The main trouble is that you have no control over the paint viscosity. In my limited experience, the only way I could get a good flat finish was with multiple coats and lots of cutting back, and that's not good on a scale model because you lose the definition of the panel lines. I'm new to your channel, but have subscribed and look forward to catching up on your other projects.
Thanks George. I'd like to get an airbrush in the future, but first I'd need a permanent place to use it (my wife doesn't want me spraying in the kitchen where I currently work ) It's certainly a challenge on a model like this as you can't wet sand easily on those vents without burning through.

Hi Thomas the pieces on the bumpers are called overriders. Best wishes Vic
Thanks Vic. I will now know this for next time!
nice job.
Cheers Tim.
Thanks for sharing this work. And You also have a nice taste for music. Congrats.
Many thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Jolly good build, what👍 nice details and handy tip for number plate 👍Thanks for showing😃tally ho😁Pete 😎
Thank you kindly, sir. I hope the foil tip helps!
@@BOABModels Yes I think it's a great tip 😀congratulations on 1000 subs too👍well done.
@@BOABModels also agree with Sarah-Jane. I've always heard them described as bumper over-riders😃
Yeah that seems to be it! Now I'll know for my next classic build.
'Over riders'
Cheers!
Congrats on the milestone & the Thumbnail adjustments. Good news.
Thanks a lot and thanks for the advice too! 👍
@@BOABModels I'm just glad it had any credence and or was helpful. I'm really happy for you, here's to the next milestone.
Thanks! 😁
Thats a real beauty of a car and model. Luv to have the real thing. Great work all round
Thanks a lot Steve. Yeah, I feel fortunate to have just driven one.
Congratulations on the completion of Jaguar E-Type! I am looking forward to it.
And,
Congratulations on getting to 1000 subscribers!🎉👍
Thank you very much. I am sure you would make an excellent E type.
Wow, congratulations Thomas on 1000 subscribers! I love this video of the E Type, and your pop up facts are fun to read! Here’s to you having 2000 subscribers soon😃👏
Thank you very much, Helen. I've always liked researching the cars I build so it's nice to add those facts.
2000 would be unbelievable.

Beautiful model, well done.
Thank you mate.
Bumperettes or bumper guards are the little extensions off the bumper. Nice job I can't wait to get mine always loved the E TYPE.
Ah, a different name. Interesting. Good luck with your one.
Hope you don't mind me saying, they're called overriders. I used to work on these jaguars.
Congratulations on the subbs and welcome to the one thousand club Thomas!! The Jaguar looks great and I love your build series!
Thanks a lot Shawn. I still can't quite believe it. Thanks for watching.
@@BOABModels you're welcome and congratulations again Thomas!
Just ran across your channel, nice build brother, you got a new subscriber 👍🏻
Thank you, much appreciated! 👍
Wohaa!!!! Congratulations on your 1k Subs mate!! way to go! 🙌🤗
Thanks a lot. Still can't quite believe it.

I'm not sure the scratch's are your fault, seams everyone building this kit has had paint stress cracks appear.
Thanks and yeah I have heard that too. It will be interesting to see what the roadster is like

@@edak482 thanks for the suggestions - I'll definitely be on the lookout for some of those.
Is the bonnet just a little bit too wide to fit the body perfectly?
Well it fit fine when I was testing it at the start and painting it. It may be that something in the engine bay is sticking out a bit.
Congratulations on the 1,000 subscribers, well deserved.
