Mercedes W196 and Jaguar XK120 Hardtop

Postby Dangermouse » Mon Nov 26, 2012 2:24 am

Here are a couple of pics of my next project cars.

They are A2M resin cars from Spain ( http://www.a2mweb.com )

The first is a W196 Streamline Mercedes - I will most likely cut the driver out and put my own figure in there.

The second is a hardtop Jaguar XK120 FHC

Nice build article on the Jaguar here http://www.slotforum.com/forums/index.p ... opic=62917

Yes a bit of brewer's droop I think :shock: :lol: - it was the way the mould came out but it did look odd, I have been doing a bit of work on them. Cut them back as straight as I could so the part covered by foil is now gone.

I will updated photo tomorrow

I had to dig out a picture of a XK-120 coupe that I took at the 2012 Greenwich Concours and the headlights do slope downwards like that for some reason.
