Revell 1/25
Jaguar XK-E |
||
| With the steering rack and damper assembly completed, the front section is almost finished. | |||
        |
The model I'm working on is going to be the right-hand steering version, and there are plates bolted onto the lower left side of the bulkhead. I cut out two small rectangular pieces of styrene sheet, and glued them to a strip of plastic. I added bolt-heads made from sections of a hex rod. Then I trimmed parts to the desired sizes. Having a tab to hold the part made the detailing easier. |

|
| The kit includes the bracket
for the coolant reservoir tank, but it was too thick, and three holes are
filled. I used a punch to open three holes on a sheet of plastic as shown,
and then, drew the expanded view of this simple part. Then, I folded the "ears" on both sides. |

| The scratchbuilt bracket was painted with Tamiya flat aluminum and glued to the chassis. |
 |
||
| Here is the front view of the chassis. |

| Here is a picture of the front section photographed from the upper right rear. Also in a small picture is the inner side of the brake assembly. |
