I just bought this kit. I plan on leaving it green. I just got back in the hobby after 20 years or so. I have a few easier ones to practice on first. Thanks for reminding me about canopy glue. I got some cement on a window on an AMT 63 Stingray.
Thank you Sarah, I was hoping that they would work, I kind of committed myself when I snipped off the first retaining pin. I appreciate your support of the channel.😁
Nice video! Currently building the convertible...haven't got to mounting the bonnet yet, so thanks to your video, I'll have some fair warning on trouble spots. The engine is incredibly detailed and I'm impressed by the comprehensive stickers....I added plug wires as well.
Thanks Hobby Cow! In hindsight I wouldn’t have cut off the pin at the windshield end of bonnet. Make sure to fix the hinge at the front of the car though. They suck!
James, I just saw this 4 month old video right now, and you did an absolutely beautiful job on this Jag. Upon completion, you make it look like it was a very easy build! Lol! I enjoy viewing your build ups, they're top notch! Great job on tackling the kits issues. Yes, you're right, your model is a new tooling, its not the "old" Revell jaguar kit that my dad helped me build in 1970
Very nice. I'm literally just finishing this kit. I did it in pale yellow with black interior. I redid the chrome bumpers, headlight surround and windscreen frame. Came out ok but it's a bit too dark. That bonnet, or hood as you Americans call it, does go onto the hinge at the front of the subframe, just needs some gentle persuasion. I kinda wish I'd left the chrome as it was. I've got the coupe to do next but I've got to do the same to the chrome on that or they'll look odd next to each other. Coupe is going to be a similar colour to this; Silver Blue.
James, the tip about using the metalizer sealer is a really good one. I am inept using bare metal foil even on long, flat surfaces, so, I want to try this. On your video, it looks like the sealer tones down the kit chrome just enough to make it look more like chrome and not "toyish" the way most plastic chrome does. Over the many years- more than 50- I have built models, one thing comes to mind: I could live life 10 times over and never come close to learning all there is to know about this great avocation of ours ( somehow, I don't like the word 'hobby'). It's far more than just a pastime! Keep those videos coming! In every one of your uploads, I pick up something which makes building more enjoyable. Cheers, Cork
Thank you so much Cork. Yes the metalizer sealer does tone down chrome parts. I like to use it when the part should be a polished aluminum rather than stripping and painting. I won’t use it on bumpers and what not as I like the bling factor in my builds.
Well done James, finished Jag looks amazing and very detailed too. Loved your video, especially the little guy showing the details 😀 Looking forward for your next work 👍
Thank you so much Karl. My friend Bryan at BGModelworks made me the pointer. The next build will be challenging to not look like a toy and more of a replica. 😁
@@ScaleModelExperiment Cool pointer, loved it ☺️ your next project sounds interesting, looking forward for the first update 👍 Did you continue working on the Jaccs Accord? I remember your video when you showed the body but have never seen progress.
The JACCS Accord is dead. When I masked for the black trim it lifted the decals off. I’m so disappointed because I love that livery. I have it put aside to strip and redo with PIAA decals instead. OR if the aftermarket reissues the JACCS decals.😁
@@ScaleModelExperiment Oh I see, too bad that damage happened to the Accord. I tried searching for new decals for mine and found all out of stock. SK decals told me he'll be releasing some new Jaccs ones soon. I also love that livery, in fact I have the Civic hatch, sedan and Accord kits, all Jaccs. Now waiting for the Civic EF from Nunu to have them all 4, driven by Hattori! I realized I missed the last seconds of your video, now I know what you're building next.. its nice seeing some JDM content from you ☺️
James, Hope you are doing well! You have probably mentiond the brand, but what canopy glue do you use for a lot of your assembly? Overruns can be wiped off easily and leave no marks unlike solvent type glues which have destroyed many a good build. Stay well! Cork
Hi Jeff, thanks for watching. No I use Zap Canopy formula 560 white glue. It sets up fast holds strong but can be taken apart if needed without marring paint finishes.
Hi William, thanks for watching. I checked Amazon for the ones I used and I couldn’t find them, but here is the same size I used: wotoy 200 Pieces 3 x 1mm DIY Personalized Multi-Use Refrigerators Magnets for Fridge Door Whiteboard Map Bulletin Boards www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK8G2TN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_SPXFQM9G5K0872ARHNE0
There are 4 other videos in that build series. Enjoy those and then watch the 50 Ford series. I think you’ll like them. Oh, and welcome to the channel 👍

Welcome back to the hobby John. Good luck with your projects 👍
Very nice indeed! I can’t wait to get my kit!!
Thank you Rolland, it was a good kit😀
Brilliant build. Thanks for the tips on what to look for when building!
You are so welcome, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope your Jag comes out nice.
That looks great! Well done
Thank you so much Paul! I really appreciate your support😁.
A great model,well done.
Thank you so much 😁
Stunning work, the magnets was a great idea, well done
Oh yeah! I wish I'd done that too!
Thank you Sarah, I was hoping that they would work, I kind of committed myself when I snipped off the first retaining pin. I appreciate your support of the channel.😁
This video reminds me of the pain in the ..... neck that I had building the Coupe. Thanks, Revell, never again.
Hahaha, it wasn’t the worst kit I’ve ever built! Thanks for watching and commenting 😁
It came out great!
Thank you Steven👍
Really great end result! I didn't expect that with so many magnets to have such a perfect fit. Good job!
Thanks for watching Raul. The magnets really helped to get the alignment right. I made a video showing how bad the fit was prior to using them.👍
Looks really good, well done. I built the coupe version, I too found the bonnet needs a lot of care to get it to fit nicely but well worth the effort.
Thank you so much Worden, that hinge really does need work straight out of the box. I appreciate your support😁
Brutal!
Turned out really nice James, also the video was well done too!
Thank you so much Throttle. I’m really trying to up my game and be more consistent. I appreciate your support of the channel. 😁
@@ScaleModelExperiment 👍🙂

Very cool!!!
Thank you so much Marcos for the support!😁
She's Beautiful!!! Fantastic build James!!!!! Looking forward to the next one.
Thank you Mike for your support. The next one will be a clean build of a VERY basic kit.

Thanks Ray!😁
Nice job, like the attention to detail,. As one who carried out the same on the real size car :)
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it 😀
She's DEFINITELY LOOKING Purrty James, God Bless.
Thank you so much Gary, I really appreciate your support.😁
You're Welcome Sir
Great build. I want to give this kit a go. I saw about a dozen things I can mess up while watching your video. Thanks for sharing it. Stay well
Thanks Pizzaman, I appreciate your support. It wasn’t that bad… I’m sure yours will be fine. Test fitting with white glue was the key.
Great work. You did an incredible job with this wonderful kit. I would like the Impala.
Thank you Michael, I’m glad that you enjoyed the video series. I’ll put you in for the Impala prize.
Great looking build, fantastic work.
Thank you so much Mad Genius! I really appreciate the support.😁

Hi Steve, if you build it box stock make sure to add it to the Facebook group page Strictly Box Stock Model Cars.
I understand Steve👍
Beautiful kit!!! Very nice work!!!
Thank you so much Chris. I really appreciate your support 😁
Awesome work James, it looks fantastic. Ron
Thank you Ron for your continued support. 😁
Amazing build, pretty good is an understatement. You're a modelling pro. Love the car colour and finish. Definitely be watching your next build! 👍🏼
Wow, thank you for your support 72 Carrot! I really appreciate it 😀
That's such a beautiful build James and I have a chubby right now! Lol👊😉
I bet you do Shawn! Thanks for always supporting me and the channel.😁
@@ScaleModelExperiment I sure do!! Lol🤣

I hope he does redo the decals. The Charasuka is a cool custom. I’ll try to make it look good from what’s in the box.
PPiouufff Wow !! Good Work i like ! insane painting and very good choice !
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel😁
@@ScaleModelExperiment very beautiful channel ! ;) Thank you
Find me on Facebook :James Mike Tester and send me a message. I have some questions about some of the products you use.
@@ScaleModelExperiment yeah with pleasure
Beautiful work man, good thing to do the decals before assembling 😂, turn out really nice and clean build
Thank you so much Marcos, I appreciate your support 😁
Brilliant finish, James. Well done. I may get one in the future as I know there are things on my coupé I'd like to have done differently.
Thank you so much Thomas, I really appreciate your support of the channel. Cheers 🍺
James, Hope you are doing well! You have probably mentiond the brand, but what canopy glue do you use for a lot of your assembly? Overruns can be wiped off easily and leave no marks unlike solvent type glues which have destroyed many a good build. Stay well! Cork
Hi Cork, the canopy glue I like to use is made by Zap and it is formula 560. I bought it from Amazon.
Very nice build👍
What was all the white glue u used Mod podge?
Hi Jeff, thanks for watching. No I use Zap Canopy formula 560 white glue. It sets up fast holds strong but can be taken apart if needed without marring paint finishes.
When you put white glue on bamper or glass, is it visible for people after?
No, the white canopy glue dries clear and is not seen. Thank you for watching and commenting 😁
Fantastic model - I see you use famous glue on painted parts - does that work for you?
Thank you for watching Underground. Yes I use Tamiya thin cement on painted parts. It works well.
James, what are your thoughts on that kit? I was thinking of buying one.
It’s a beautiful kit and builds up nice. I did a video on how to fix some of the issues with it. I recommend it. Thanks for watching 👍
Hey, do you have a link to those magnets you used to secure the hood?
Hi William, thanks for watching. I checked Amazon for the ones I used and I couldn’t find them, but here is the same size I used: wotoy 200 Pieces 3 x 1mm DIY Personalized Multi-Use Refrigerators Magnets for Fridge Door Whiteboard Map Bulletin Boards www.amazon.com/dp/B07DK8G2TN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_SPXFQM9G5K0872ARHNE0
Really nice, but what Color did you use for the Blue?
I used a Ferrari light blue metallic from VRM. I showed paint in this video: ua-cam.com/video/YuCu-7dSZig/v-deo.htmlsi=xOTQIHcCkGyAWJVw
9:15-"Pretty Good.?"
I plan to watch and learn.
Sub'r#: 8.78K+1, TU#: 209
Also, how about a tour of the contents and layout of the toolbox.?
