Scott Garard Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Another one for the Jaguar fans... I saw that Hasegawa has announced the Goss/Muir Jaguar for July release... http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/20580/ 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: https://www.flickr.com/photos/152317291@N02/albums/72177720298369252 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! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylo66 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I like this quote from that page " * The shape of the kit is partially different from the actual vehicle. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Garard Posted July 5, 2022 Author Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Well, the kit was released today, but no wheel correction I'm afraid... https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10874019 I bet they would have got it right if it had raced in Japan, like all those different GT-Rs, Supras and Corollas! 🤨 Edited July 5, 2022 by Scott Garard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
