As anyone who knows me knows, I don't hang about when my mojo is in full effect. Build Fifteen for 2025 is Tamiya's Jaguar MKII. Don't expect an Inspector Morse replica...

Interior and upper chassis work almost finished on the T-Bird build. It's time to properly get on with that complicated engine/supercharger setup next...

The doors are staying shut.
The shade of orange isn't even close to accurate.
The fitment wasn't amazing.
The decals STILL need to be finished.
Those hinges were a gimmick.
But hey - it was a birthday present from a long time ago - high time it was built. Thanks Sis!
