Re: WIP: 1:24 Tamiya Jaguar XJR-9LM
Hi Sean,
Very nice subject and a timely one. A friend from Classic Plastic gave me the same kit with all those goodies extra (except the books) and a can of the Tamiya paint for it. You should see how surprised I was when he told me that all of that was a gift for me.
Well, I will follow your w.i.p. with great interest and hope to learn a few things here and there to apply on my project.
Have fun with yours, I am watching
Thanks,
Starr

I would love to take the Castrol decals off your hands if you don't use them. I just ordered this kit, along with the SMS and S27 detail sets and carbon fiber decals. I would much rather build the Castrol than the Silk Cutseamus wrote:
I do however have a dilemma, I also have a Studio 27 Castrol decal set in the box and I'm very torn between which colour scheme to go for as I do quite like them both!

I already have a good pair of reference books for this build, and I've just ordered the Haynes Workshop manual on Amazon for this car which also looks like a really good reference.
Of the 3 references you mention, I am familiar with the Bamsey title and the Haynes manual. Builders are sometimes less aware of
https://sites.google.com/site/speeddeta ... ing-engine
This publication provides much more specific insight into the wiring & plumbing of the XJR V-12 engine with detailed schematics and description not readily apparent in other references. Just thought it might be worth sharing as you appear to be very into this project.
I also look forward to seeing your result.
Cheers

Looking forward to watching this build as I've not seen a wip for one of thes on here yet.
As usual with this wonderful site, coincidence strikes as I've just started a dual build of the Le Mans Jay XJR9 and a modified version of this kit to represent Brands Hatch 1000km of '88. I'll be post a wip on here too

Re: WIP: 1:24 Tamiya Jaguar XJR-9LM
With the Brabham completed, I can turn my attention to the Jag.
I picked up a couple of other bits and pieces... the Haynes Book on the XJR9LM is very good indeed - I can very much recommended it. Oh and thanks for the reference on the Speed Details site, I have ordered a copy
I have also ordered the purple paint from Hiroboy and also picked up a couple of extra detail items for the trumpets and headlights, mighty impressed with these - they were both ordered from scaleproduction.de
I have a couple of commissions to complete and then I will be jumping on this and getting started!

Re: WIP: 1:24 Tamiya Jaguar XJR-9LM
Good luck cutting the doors out.
I too am building this one. I am using the rare S&S upgrade kit, the Studio 27 etched set, MFH, and Top Studio hose ends, I am cutting my own CF decals. Eduard Belts.
I won't be doing a WIP on mine, but I will be watching your build.
I have to clean up these parts.

Re: WIP: 1:24 Tamiya Jaguar XJR-9LM
Great minds my friend... although my plan was to only cut out one door, and I'm not 100% sure I want to chop the nose. So how did the cutting go - I'm guessing not easy right? Did you use Tamiya's hand saw or something different?
