cmatthewbacon Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 The new small and rather nice E-Type Coupe from Airfix, opening the batting in a new range with the Huayra and Chiron, and who can blame them? Surely they could have tooled up one more part? This is not right: Not so hard to resolve: Then the decals added and a little bit of Citadel 'ardcote for the glass: Interior painted, mostly Tamiya Flat Red and some Citadel Shade Red for the seats: And pop the dash in place: And yes, I noticed that I broke the gear lever, so I fixed that! Last for tonight, the chrome is no longer a weird olive colour... best, M. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnick Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Great conversion on the dash. Like the red interior. What body colour are you going for? Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k5054nz Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I'm truly stunned it's left-hand drive out of the box! What a bizarre move! Great save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbostream Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Nice fix of the dashboard. Although I live in a LHD country I would prefer RHD on an E-Type. But I will be too lazy to fix it once I get the kit. I wonder why they made the seats almost level to the floor. Guess you won't see it once the kit is assembled but if they made an OTS version later then it would't look very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitkent Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Great progress! I like the dash decals,are they in the kit? Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Great work on the conversion , I was wondering about the decals too. Are you using the kit wheels or adding the lovely 3D printed ones. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 Thanks, guys. Slow but steady progress: That's three parts (top, chassis, and exhaust/suspension). This is what I'm aiming for: https://www.adrianflux.co.uk/influx/features/first-jaguar-e-type/ Fantastic Motobitz 3D-printed wheels. Just got to figure out how to mask and paint the chrome rims and spokes... best, M. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 The red will certainly help the interior to stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
