Full Version: 1:48 replacement Jaguar intakes for the Airfix Kit

Having seen plenty of Jags at Telford, and built my own, I know how hard it is to fettle the Airfix kit parts to give a more accurate representation of the Jag's ovalised rectangular intakes, with the blow-in doors in the "at rest" position.

Well... now you don't have to try! yahoo.gif I've cast up copies of my masters, which you can see below:





They come with a set of 8 hinge decals, printed for me by Ed Grantham (respect there, Ed happy.gif ), and I'm offering them up for grabs at £9.50 per set delivered within the UK.

They're a simple drop-in replacement to the Airfix part, and will require a little filler to fair them into the exterior trunking, but so would the kit parts. Each decal sheetlet comes with 8 hinges, to allow for any mistakes, and the end result should be an improved Jag with very little work on your part.

To order, either contact me in the usual manner with the number of sets you want plus paypal address & I'll raise a Paypal invoice, or send the money (with details of what you want in the notes section) to meATmikewilliamsDOTco.DOTuk via paypal.

To those of you who have already pre-ordered, they'll be going out with decals in the next couple of days smile.gif

Mike,
Great job on those intakes. I'd sure love to take a couple sets off your hands. Will you ship to the US ?

Thanks,

At the moment I will, but let me come back to you with a shipping price. I always use "International signed for", so the cost is a bit higher, but worth it for the certainty of delivery for both sides smile.gif Did you want 2 sets?
Bill Clark
Goody! I think I already have two sets on order.....Oh, and I don't need the decals as Ed popped into the shop on Saturday, I now have enough hinge decals for the whole of 54, 6 and 41 Sqns ca . 1982!!!

Ta Ed!!!

I'll be spinning up a couple more sets in a bit once I've demoulded this other thingy I've been working on smile.gif

K... all paid orders are packed & ready to go to the post office, which includes the last of the Valiant intakes too.

I've got 2 intake sets left of the last batch, which are provisionally allocated to those that ain't paid yet. Any more needed? happy.gif

NOTE: The hinge decals are on a small sheet of decal paper in the envelope. Please ensure you take them out before you recycle the envelope. There are 8 decals on each sheet, which should give you plenty of spares in case you stuff them up. Each one is very fragile, but should go down ok without a coat of liquid decal film if you're careful. smile.gif

Ooo it's gonna be like Christmas a bit early here - 1 set on Valiant intakes, 1 set of Jag intakes and my Jag decals. Thanks Santa santa.gif

I'd advise you soak it overnight in vodka first, so it doesn't hurt your gums wink.gif

Great Idea, english cardboard is tougher than the stuff over here!

Cheers, and bottoms up!

Mike
All the orders in the UK should be with you by now, or tomorrow at the latest (unless you're out & too lazy to head off to the post office!)...

You Yankees will have to wait while the postman cycles across the big wet bit I'm afraid... BUT... they're on their way, and they're sent int'l signed for, so pretty secure wink.gif

Any more needed?

Hi Jack,

I've PMed the scary total to you! wink.gif
Mike
Okely dokely! The latest batch went in the post this avo.... just one order received today missed it, because of time constraints. They should go in the post tomorrow, all being well. As I said before, apologies to those of you that have been waiting since before Christmas blush.gif

Couple of sets left from this batch if anyone else needs some wink.gif
Smiffy
Yeah, I'll take a set Mike if that's okay. wink.gif
Mike
Just as some of you might be getting towards the stage where you will be looking at applying the hinge decals for these, I thought it might be useful to remind you that the decals are very delicate, so either give them a coat of liquid decal film before applying, or treat them very gently. There are 8 decals per sheetlet, so one spare for each hinge smile.gif

The last two orders on hand will be posted tomorrow, and I still have a few pre-cast items in "stock" (sat in a box on my bench! laugh.gif ), so let me know if you want a set.
