[@Funsho97]

That Jag is beautiful. I love the detail you applied to this model. I especially like how you did the epoxy on the gauges to give them a glass look over the gauge faces, very nice touch. I may have to invest in an air brush to up my game.

[@tony64t]

I really appreciated the way you methodically described every step of your build, and why. Most other modelers leave us watching their activities without any explanation, detailed or otherwise.

[@zbudik]

It is incredible! The shades of leather, the whole engine bay, steering wheel ... amazing result.

[@zayedwakarshaan2453]

Most beautiful car ever made : Jaguar E type🤩

[@tomsvenkesen2476]

Oh yes

[@davidgillyon5863]

That looks a very good kit. I especially like the separate door handles and window winders; much better than moulded in ones. I might have to get this, even though my stash is bigger than I really want!

[@jonathanedwards3143]

Beautiful paint and interior. I am trying the bare metal chrome for the first time on a Lotus Europa. I like the way it goes on and looks great. Much better than masking and painting. Thank you for showing this product in the video.

[@alschroeder1724]

Great video, very nice detailing explanation, really impressed with the engine bay work. Amazing amount of detail. Thumbs up!!!! However, and maybe its just me. I'm sure this is a KZbin thing. This was a 25:57 long video, did I really need to cancel out 14 ads (that an ad every 1.8 minutes). Seems a LOT aggressive.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Thats a youtube thing. They put them in the videos automaticaly

[@GrandNational66]

Great video...awesome build...when you used thinner in the black paint for the steering wheel...would windex window cleaner work as well?. Thanks for the great videos...very appreciated...cheers🍻

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I have no idea if that would work, why not use thinners that are meant for the paint you use?

[@GrandNational66]

Ok...ive see washer fluid being used in air brushes as a thinner

[@forevercomputing]

Interesting. This one is a LHD of a British car, yet all we get in the UK is mostly LHD models as well...

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

It had an RHD das in the kit too. You can choose

[@forevercomputing]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Interesting. Thanks. Meanwhile, we only get one without options. Even European cars that arrive in model form are LHD only. Which kind of ruins it for me. I'd just stick with Japanese ones unless like this - there is an option.

[@1955mouse]

awesome job, looking forward to more, thanx!!

[@Bender13]

Beautiful work. I have to ask….do you scrape the paint off the part you’re adding glue to or will it still work? Some of the parts looked to be a press fit requiring no glue…is this right or was the glue there? I’m just a beginner hoping someday to build my modelling skills.

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I use super glue and don’t scrape the paint off, only if the parts don’t fit

[@cnovalles73]

I never intend to build a model this advanced but it's a joy watching you work - and oddly relaxing. 🤔

[@LucDesaulniers1]

Never realised the Jag had the French DeDion designed inboard brakes.

[@kickschutte9930]

idd like to recreate this with following along with ur video since im pretty new and this is my favorite call of all time but can I also just use a regular paint brush for everything? or do I need an airbrush for these colors and coats and stuff?

Either an airbrush or spray cans. Brushing will not look good

[@harveymiller1309]

Enjoyed the build specially the way you did the steering wheel.

[@tygrkhat4087]

The clear orange coat gave it the look of a highly varnished wood. Just beautiful; all the way around.

[@willm5032]

Seconded. That steering wheel was really lovely

[@automatic250]

The graining tips on the steering wheel alone is worth the price of admission

[@OldManTheseDays]

Nice. Your craft is next level. I don’t typically associate Revell with being able to achieve that kind of fine detail (that’s been more of a Tamiya thing in my experience) but you’ve made it look stunning.

[@MY_SCALEMODELING_CORNER]

3 years ago...maaan time goes by very quick. But i really like to come back and watch this build again :D

[@johanssonb]

That steering wheel looks unbelievable, thanks for the tip! At the end of the video, did you use the liquid chrome to paint the points where the chrome parts are attached to the sprue?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I did. Yes

[@jimmyolsenschannel6263]

A beautiful build by a very skilled modeler. However, there is a major problem with these car builds, and it concerns the window frames. I noticed this already as a kid of around 12 years, and eventually it made me give up on the hobby. Since then I have returned to it several times, but again and again I have had to give up. Even a modeler as great as the one featured here can't solve it, as you can clearly see. The window frames are all over the place, absolutely awful and in no way up to his general standard. There are these little areas where the hobby is a total letdown. With figures it's the eyes, with cars it's the window frames. These issues are ruining the hobby for me, totally!

[@vladpiranha]

I wouldn't have been able to resist painting it with British Racing Green.

[@garyhaber333]

Exquisite build. Your attention to detail is amazing. The E type has been my dream car since I 1st saw 1 at 8 yrs old (I'm 55 now).

[@badad0166]

Do you do commission work? Rich lazy people would pay good money for that level of perfection.

[@bertholdbouman3007]

Very nice, but you drilled the wrong holes for the spark plugs.

[@nk53nxg]

Nice idea for the wood effect using Tamiya clear orange. May try that in future.

[@duanearcher7576]

Sweet! The late Series 1 XKE (65-67) was my dream car. I almost purchased one three separate occasions but never did. Could have bought a 67 with 8k miles in the mid-1970s for $5500...oh, well.

[@victorramirezable]

very good job congratulations

[@dangross2012]

If only building E-Types were this easy in real life >.< Great work!

[@CycolacFan]

Wonder why Revell can’t get their rooflines correct? Original 69 Charger, Fox Mustang, the weird chop on the 49 Merc... looks like Revell made a lovely E-Type coupe then decided to be cheap and put the roadster windscreen on it. You did a lovely job on the build though. Looks like every possible decal is included.

[@daveabbott]

Superb build and finish, that Molotow is unbelievable! Only comment I would make is that to make it even more realistic, pop some panel line accentuator in.... the panel lines!

[@robertmann7277]

Would you recommend backscribing ALL the panel lines?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Yes

[@rtechnik]

The metal flakes in the paint are not to scale... 😏

[@jrushen4235]

Your care, attention to detail and painting skills are outstanding. Lovely. Thanks.

[@mikelinderman751]

Hi, what do scale modelers use for distributor wire? Thankyou

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Super thin electronical or phone wire, i just buy it from the hobby shop

[@larrydrozd2740]

I've built at least 12 award winning Real Versions of these cars, roadsters and coupes, series 1,2,and 3. The only issue I have with the scale models kits I've seen and own are that the details are not correct. They're all over the place. The molds are all from an early series 1, like number 18 we did a few years back. The rear springs were black with yellow or blue inspection marks. The steering column is gloss black, all of it, the wheel hub is silver, but the entire column would be black including the turn signal stalk. The accel. pedal is cad plated silver. The floors have removable carpets in the footwells which contain a wide strip of vinyl. Only the very early cars had gold carb "tops", the rest were black. Transmission is semi gloss black, silver top. Drive pulleys are gloss black. An early car would have a black generator with silver caps, not an alternator. Positive ground, which means the yellow tag you put on the box would be correct for a later car, series 1.5. Negative Ground. That tag also faces out. Exhaust manifolds are porcelain gloss black, very shiny. There's nothing gold on the brakes, all silver. The battery would have silver posts. Totally "wrong" radiator fan....thats part of the "details" I mentioned earlier. The shroud looks good but the fan would be a single blade, useless too! The heater core box is high gloss black. The intake filter Can should be the same color as the V-Box, stipple silver. Hammer tone. The washer bottle is white with blue fluid in it about 1/3 up. Thats the show rules. The brake bottle heat shield is flat white on the bottle side, silver on the exhaust side. A very early car would have red caps on the bottles, the rest would be gray. Considering those are square bottles, not round, they would be gray. Believe it or not, the majority of the exhaust is black on an early car. It stops before the resonators, which are silver. It has no brake bellows, odd, which an early car would have, right next to the bottles. If not, then is would have an aluminum clutch and brake transom....this model has neither of them, odd, but, again "those kit details". The plug wires on an early car would have the XK150 style conduit and the head would have 2 lifting bars across the second and sixth head nuts. Also, the plug wires go behind the radiator hose next to the engine, not over it. The is NO amber on a series 1 front lens. These would now be a series 2.... Believe it or not but on an early car, outside mirrors were a customer bought option!! Seriously! They didn't ship them with the car. Good work on the assembly and paint detail. Nice camera work too! Don't mind my detail nit-picking, its been my real job for the last 40 years of resto work.

[@007mrmike007]

I just read that the new Revell Jaguar E-Type Coupe has been re-released by Revell of Germany. Now to get one...or two!

Fantastic Jaguar That's the most impressive job I Have seen The Jaguar details are so impressive I hope see your job again I'm from Brazil and you gathered a new fan Thanks From Your Brasiliam fan Arnaldo

[@afpwebworks]

I'm Australian. Interesting to see such an iconic car that I lusted after IRL for so long in the 1960s and 1970s being built back-to-front. To my eye, everything inside the car is on the wrong side, while the fuel cap is on the correct side. I am in AWE of the work you did getting those wheels done. I have never seen Chrome on a model done that way and it's outstanding!! Thank you for showing me how to do that. . And you were right to get the 3D printed wheels. I always wanted some spoke wheels on a car. It never occurred to me Id have to spend most of a weekend cleaning them every week.

[@ZeddProphecy]

I'm amazed - and also curious. Why not add some LED lighting to show off all the interior work?

[@Swoosterr]

How do you mix your Tamiya Surface Primer? Whats the ratio?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I don’t know. I just keep adding thinner untill it flows through my airbrush nicely

[@bucknertarsney7674]

Great work! What’s the fitting ratio of the Tamiya primer?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

I honestly don't know. I just add thinner and see if its thin enough or if i need to add more.

[@slackjaw703]

I have watched you for , I guess, years now. I’ve tried to emulate your ability to construct virtually any model out in front of you and have failed miserably. I am constantly amazed by your skill and results. You are a modeling god. Thank you for sharing!

Why are you trying to emulate? Use the basic technique and add to it.

[@GrimmieConnors]

Hi, could you please help me with a paint selection,I have been going crazy here on KZbin..so many people have different paints that they use..I’m old school modeler from years pass. I used testers paint. But paints have come so far since then. I will be building plastic car models. I like pearls,candy’s. Medallic’s. If you can help it would be great. Thanks Tim

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Well Tim, thats a tough one. There are many brand out there. Tamiya is a good all rounder. But what kond of tools do you have or do you want to use? Brushes, spray cans, airbrushes?

[@GrimmieConnors]

@@TheScalemodelingChannel Yes, airbrushing. Love to make it shine like glass. I was thinking about Tamiya paints but there water base paint and I’m not sure if I could get the shine. I just don’t know the new paints. I’m 63 now. My last model I was probably 15 years old. lol. Thanks Tim

[@GrimmieConnors]

Have you ever used wicked colors paint ?

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

Never heard of those. Have a look at Splash paints

[@jagitmax]

There are a few inaccuracies with this model: Exhaust manifolds shown are not E-TYPE exhaust manifolds, but early JAG 4 DOOR SEDAN versions which slant backwards, E TYPE manifolds point straight down from the center point of the side of the engine block. Windshield washer jar is CLEAR GLASS on EARLY E TYPEs / WHITE TRANSLUCIENT PLASTIC on later versions. RADIATOR FAN is only straight 2 blades, driven by its own electric motor mounted on the front cross frame and does not extend thru a grill behind the radiator, there is no shaft from the engine turning the fan. Also the turn indicator cover should be BLACK, the stem is chrome and the tip of the stem is black. The EMERGENCY BRAKE shown is for a RIGHT HAND DRIVE CAR, this model is LEFT HAND DRIVE. The TRANSMISSION shown here is an OVERDRIVE VERSION, NOT TYPICAL FOR E TYPES, (but available for 2+2 model), and finally the WIRE WHEEL KNOCK-OFFS are not correct type for Jaguar E TYPES. . .WHAT A MESS. '66 E TYPE OWNER.

[@bigben8057]

Hi, I bought the same airbrush mr. hobby ps-290, but after applying the varnish, it spat out the remnants of the dry previous paint on the surface, although I washed it. How do you service it after painting? Do you completely disassemble it, unscrew the nozzle every time? The instruction does not recommend doing this. Thanks)

[@TheScalemodelingChannel]

if it spits out paint, it has not been cleaned out well enough, you'll need to be more thorough. Do not remove the small nozzle piece, that will break very fast. You can remove the bigger front piece with a wrench.

Hi, am interested in printing those wheels. I have the file, and have an elegoo saturn printer, but am finding the slicing software is adding a lot of supports within the rim, and attaching to the spokes, making them very difficult to remove without damaging the part.

I placed the supports myself. Not using the auto supports
