Re: Scale models of Jaguars?

[John Ratcliff <jratcliff@atlantica.access.ch>]

On Feb 7, David L DuPuy asked about scale models of Jaguars. 
Some info:

- Burago (Italy) makes 1/18 metal models, either already built or 
  requiring a little assembly (mostly snap-on, 10-year old skill level). Prices in
  Switzerland equivalent to around 20-25 US$. The Jags I'm sure of are
  E-Type S1 convertible and coupe, and SS100.
  I seem to remember seeing an XJ220 in a catalogue, and maybe other models.
  They also have other scales and colour schemes. Decent value.
- Majorette (France) makes a 1/24 metal and plastic E-Type S1 coupe, about
  15 US$, some assembly required. Lousy
- Solido (France) makes a die-cast 1/43 XJ12 S2, about 10US$. Lousy
- Heller (France) makes a 1/43 XJ-S plastic kit, about 8 US$. Haven't built it yet, but
  the quality and details seem OK.
- Tamiya (Japan) makes a 1/24 Mk II platic kit, about 25 US$ Haven't built it yet,
  but it looks the usual Tamiya quality (i.e., pretty good), perhaps even better
  (carpeting, wood-like decals for dashboard, metal transfers).
- I remember reading about a UK company called SMTS which builds a high-quality 
  XJ6 scale model, about 60 UK Pounds, no further details.

Hope this helps, John.
