Hasegawa Citicorp Jaguar XJ-S 1986 Bathurst 1000 (Goss/Muir) coming

Another one for the Jaguar fans...

I saw that Hasegawa has announced the Goss/Muir Jaguar for July release...

However the picture/drawing they show has the wrong wheels - they should be BBS wheels with Dunlop tyres, not the TWR wheels as shown. (which have been in all releases thus far)

 

I found an inquiry form on the Japanese version of their website and provided a link to my Flickr album so they can see for themselves:

My corrected drawing:

Hasegawa have been good with including new parts for different versions of their car kits, so hopefully they'll take my info on-board if they haven't already realised it themselves.

It's possible the drawing was just a quick colouring of their Jaguar template to put on their newsletter, and they fully intend to get it right come release time, we'll see.

 

Cheers!

I like this quote from that page

 

" * The shape of the kit is partially different from the actual vehicle. "

 

Yeah, that's what ultimately prompted me to contact them. 🤨

Well, the kit was released today, but no wheel correction I'm afraid...

I bet they would have got it right if it had raced in Japan, like all those different GT-Rs, Supras and Corollas! 🤨
