One can't deny the beauty of an iconic car such as the Jaguar. Hasegawa has reissued their Jaguar XJ-S kit, which is represented here as car number 1 from the Tom Walkinshaw racing team. The scheme pictured on the box is the only one represented in the box but it looks to be excellent...molded in styrene, there are three white parts trees, in addition to the main body shell. There is also two trees of grayish parts (softer and more flexible), two trees of chrome parts, one of clear parts, a fret of PE, and a set of vinyl tires, pictured here:
The instruction booklet seems to have been left alone, as it definitely looks like it came out of an older kit-
Clears parts, PE, and materials for belts and the like:
Decals for the one scheme:
Main body-- no flash that I can see- just my phone camera...
Chrome trees:
The gray sprues contain parts for what looks like an exceptional V-12 engine, plus the undercarriage, exhaust, springs, and lower chassis...
Lastly the white sprues...first is the smallest with the hood and other part:
The interior floor and panel, brake drums, and roll cage-
And the seat, suspension, and various other bits such as the steering wheel and such...
Looks like Hasagawa went all out in this reissue and I look forward to turning it into a gem of a race car.

BS,
only the Top Gear show hosted by Clarkson, Hammond and May is worth watching. This BBC show is still broadcasted, but it is nowhere is funny as with the previous three hosts!

No cable or satellite out here, but I did catch one on Amazon Prime when it started up...
Sorry for the delay, but I haven't had room for this one until now. Review #3...
Beautiful engine, which is what I started on today
Still lots to add to this one-- but trying to decide if I should wait and paint the whole thing at once or do so in steps....

Looking real good there Jeeves.... but that steering wheel is on the wrong side...

Very nice subject Jeeves and looks Good!
Now as Stuart also starts with a car, I am almost intrigued to have a car bi-project as well!
Have this one in my stash....
