1/8 Jaguar XKE build, part 18; starting on wheels

Hopfully I can build real metal spoked wheels. So far, so good!

What a nice morning here in Stockholm, Sweden. Woke up at 06:30 blue sky and the warm sun. Breakfast, Porridge with Raspberry and Raisins a boiled egg and a Grapefruit and my favorite show in the Tube. Thank you so much. It all looks very nice. All the best from me to you. M

Great work... They are even better than pocher kit rims.

The curly hub wheels are for series 1 cars from 61-68. Later cars had the flat hub wheels

You should watch World of Wayne he built the 1/8 scale Jaguar.

[@customfabrications]

I do watch him, and have seen his jaguar build. Just my opinion, but I think there are parts to that model that are very nicely detailed, but other parts I really dislike. It looks nice overall, but getting just a few parts a month in no logical order would drive me nuts. Plus,I’m too cheap to justify the cost of those models. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

[@jiml9692]

I like his videos too. Those models are okay. Some of the detail is missing. I think they are way over priced.

[@customfabrications]

I agree, way too much for what they are. But Wayne is fun to watch though. @@jiml9692
