Hi, Can anyone recommend a 1:24 Jaguar D Type kit? Love the look of the car, would like to build one. I've seen one from Lindberg, a reason one from Fisher and a metal one from K&M (I think). Any experience with these? Are there any more out there? I also saw a conversion from a Revell XKSS, but I'm not quite sure how much effort that'll be. Thanks, Nick |

Hi Nick Your best bet is to convert the Revell XKSS. The Lindberg kit is basic and not particularly accrate. I've done a short nose conversion and you're basically looking at the optional rear hump and whether to fair over the passenger seat. Windsreen is also a challenge. I do have the Fischer resin in the stash as well as a 1/24 slot body (can't recall the manufacturer). I'll get some compare & contrast pics for you... Rich |

Hi Rich, Thanks for the answer! Sounds like it'll be some interesting modelling then. Glad I didn't go for the Lindberg when I saw it! Compare and contrast photos would be much appreciated, if you have the time. Cheers, Nick |
