Revell 1/25
Jaguar XK-E

Injection Plastic Detailed Model
Scale:   1/24
Manufacturer:   Revell
Reissued in 1994
Kit Number: H-1280:198
 
This is a reissue of the old Revell kit, and despite some inaccuracies, the overall quality is very good for its age. Revell has captured the series 1 body accurately, except for shape of the headlights. The lenses are too thick, and the rings don't look right either. The engine is detailed, and most of the other components are  included, but they need to be either cleaned or replaced with scratch-built parts for more realistic appearance. The chassis and suspension details are adequate, but some additional enhancements are needed. The kit includes both right and left hand dashboard, and the details are dull, so they need to be sanded off, and replaced with aftermarket gauge decals and scratch-built switches.

Overall, this kit is a good starter for those who wish to build a detailed model of the Jaguar E-type Series 1 Roadster in 1/25 scale.

Expect a lot of work, but it's fun.
