paul-muc Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I've built this one, when the kit was new, which is a long time ago. The model would be fine with thinner material for the windows, so you could see the interior./media/tinymce_upload/e90819d063d55f9efb441db77c6bfe60.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/789fb294d3acab59af2683b897aa0870.jpg/media/tinymce_upload/af98a6c47d7264ac4f989a19f4f049a7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moziee Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Nice - are you spray painting the black finish, looks smooth.also is that a semi-gloss ?Moz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul-muc Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 The car is in 'night blue' and any colour is airbrushed, except the frames of the windows, which are done with brush. The semi-gloss is the result of too high pressure and too thick paint, a beginner's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 This was announced for re-issue as Starter Set (A55309) in 2015, and also appears in the 2016 Yearbook. Has something happened that is delaying the re-issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_fitzsimmonds Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Apparently it has been dropped.Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roy_fitzsimmonds Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Something to do with the licensing of the kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Perhaps that's one of the reasons why they don't do more car kits - licensing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy_fitzsimmonds Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 No - it's just that Airfix seem to have NO interest in car kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG Writer Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 No - it's just that Airfix seem to have NO interest in car kits.Well if that is true, it is a shame, but fortunately there are some other enlightened kit makers out there who are less short sighted. I have found that some of the Japanese companies have been friendly, enthusiastic and actually engaged enough to discuss ideas with me. They deserve to succeed and will have my business and goodwill. I would like to hope that Airfix will follow their example... This forum is a good start so long as it helps deliver change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Roy, why is every one of your posts so negative. If you don't like Airfix why are you here?My post was an observation and I hoped someone at Airfix might give a reason why it was in the Yearbook but omitted from the Mini Catalogue.

roy_fitzsimmonds Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 My posts aren't all negative. I have posted pictures and some basic info on what can be done with the 1/32 Jaguar E Type.It's a lovely little kit that really, really deserves updating.The only reason any of my posts come across as negative, is because I'm stating what numerous others are saying.Airfix seem to have absolutely no interest in Cars.OK, there's more money in aircraft, and Airfix is a business, in it for profit. Have a read of the 'Open letter to Airfix' that has been posted.It pretty well sums up what a huge corner of the kit market feel. I would love to be more supportive of Airfix.I just wish they were more supportive of the model car area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
