New car Jaguar, four star daydream, think I’ll buy me a football team…

I’m not a car guy, but nice acquisition Stuart After all it is Tamiya

My Wife is a HUGE Inspector Morse fan - which if you haven't seen it is a detective series from the late 80's early 90's set in Oxford. The main character drives around in a 1960ish mk.II Jaguar.

She'd love to own one - but in the meantime I came across this on ebay, and thought I'd get it and build it for her - I had no idea this kit existed.

Nice Stuart. I had an S-type for a bit which is kinda of a nod to that saloon.

Not mine, but same color/car

Nice cars the S types, I see quite a few of them about.

I'm not either to be honest Carlos - in real life or in the modelling world, although I have fancied having a go at building one at some point - just for the modelling challenge if nothing else. Same for Bikes. I'm not a biker, but I'd love to have a go at a bike kit.

LOL! I think so too sadly. I mean, it's not BEYOND the realms of possibility - a decent 1960 ish mk.II Jaguar is about 25-35K, about the price of a new SUV, but it's HIGHLY unlikely. Personally I'd rather a mk.II Landrover.

You should build a bike Stuart. Choose one of the recent Tamiya kits - they are a joy to build.

Ducati 1199 Paginale S



Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR



I have a couple more in the stash and the new Honda CB1000F is on the wish list.

Very nice John!

I think if I had a go at one, I'd like to build one of the old Paris-Dakar Honda kits.

Thought I’d try these for life rings. More than I’ll ever possibly use, but about the same price as 4-8 from a vendor.



And this beast. I rember trying these as a kid, Hurley, maybe? I dint remember.

Always handy to have o-rings. Be cool if the little once fit your airbrush(s)

And, they are tiny!

I remember those metal body car kits. My sister did the Corvette one. There was a Ford Thunderbird one too. Black box I recall. I think they were Revell kits.

Most likely. I remembered the Hurley name, but not for kits.

This one has tons (almost literally) of flash. Funny. Oh and ejector pin marks, too.
