Once described by Enzo Ferrari as the most beautiful car ever made, the E-Type is as breath-taking now as it was when first released in 1961. Based on Jaguar's Le Mans winning D-Type, the E-Type had racing DNA combined with extremely competitive pricing and a claimed 150mph top speed, this led to it quickly becoming a 1960's icon. T
he earliest cars or series one as they have become known, portrayed by this kit, were produced between 1961 and 1967 with two different engines, a 3.8L and 4.2L. Over 22,000 E-Types were sold. Jaguar produced the E-type in various guises including a 2+2 coupe, the limited edition 'Lightweight E-Type' and the low drag coupe along with many other variants.

Impressive how smooth the body was painted with such a small brush. Looks like a very nice little kit.

Lovely GUIDE! I am much more encouraged to give modelling a go now with paints!

Nicely done! It was a good touch to show using a wooden toothpick/cocktail stick to clean away excess paint on the clear parts! I might suggest first dipping the tip of the stick into water though, just to 'soften' it a little, and to soften the paint - doesn't leave scratch marks on the clear part either.... 🙂

A great video well done. Excellent explanation of how to use the tools and paints provided to achieve a nice finish with a little patience and pleasure in the process. The kit looks great and very simple to make.

Before assembly wast the sprue with some warm soapy water and this will remove the surface tension to make painting easier !!

Nicely done and a great tutorial. With regard to surface tension, it can be broken with isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) which may not be appropriate for children. However, one can use a paint flow improver, or even washing up liquid. In each case only a minimal amount is required. HTH

First time modeller here, I followed this video to the tee, using only what came in the box and some precision cutters I already had in my toolbox. I have to say I am very very impressed, sure I have plenty of room for improvement, but this video is faultless in my opinion. Tips like using a black base coat on silver parts are invaluable and something I would have had no idea on otherwise. To be honest I wouldn't even have known to mix water with the paint. But as you the results speak for themselves, incredibly smooth paint with no raised brush strokes etc. Only question is what model shall I attempt next and shall I pick one that's a little more difficult?

Hope you are going to re release the River SD1, be nice if they added a Rover P6.

I think I'll get one of these as a test bed for airbrushing mica pigments. Sorry, it won't be BRG, exactly. :)

Something that should be mentioned to the beginning modeler is glue won't properly adhere to plated or painted surfaces.Scrapping paint or plated surfaces is necessary for a good adhesion, this is a very important detail your videos don't talk about.Why?

I thought these new starter kits were supposed to be easier to make. Having watched this, I don't think I can cope with this kit and all the fiddly painting stuff. Is there a simple kit to make please?

@OfficialAirfix Жыл бұрын

We would suggest the Spitfire Starter Set (A55001). But remember, modelling is was you make it. If you don't feel that you can do the smaller parts, then don't. Just enjoy the process :)

Blimey I sometimes take well over a month to make my models 😁. Just take your time and only do what you want.

I'm far from a veteran model builder, but if the subject interest you, I always recomend beginners to start with WWII tanks, they were more crudely built IRL so if you make a mistake while building it or painting it, it'll just add more character to the piece. Also they have mostly opaque colors, so it's easier to make the brush strokes disappear. If the brand and this kind of kits interest you, I think airfix have starter kits for Sherman and Tiger.

I've been modelling years (50 plus) so i think you could call me experienced, but after watching this i'm tempted to get this little kit as it looks nice.
