Ferry DierckxsensYes, I love these older Matchbox kits, and I bought this one very cheap as the previous owner had started with it and left it in a sorry state. Fortunately it is all complete, and I'll continue to finish this lovely model.

Ferry DierckxsensI've added the instructions manual for the Jaguar with a pdf file in the kit database. It's 4 pages in total. I bought this kit many years ago second hand, and unfortunately the previous owner made some markings with a pen or a marker for him self. It is still usable. I f you like to receive a copy by email please send me a PM. Cheers, Ferry.

Ferry DierckxsensThank you Kathleena, and welcome to Scalemates. Matchbox made a lot of different kits during the 1970's and 1980's. Cars, aircraft, ships, military vehicles in various scales. Some of them are or where re-edited by Revell who bought all of the Matchbox tooling. Offcourse you can find a lot of these kits here at Scalemates. And I'll have to finish that Jaguar some day 🙂

Robert PodkońskiIn fact some of the original Matchbox moulds were purchased by Revell and kits were issued under Revell brand, Kathleena, like He-70 or Twin Otter 😉

Spanjaardmatchbox kits..... the times when OOB was truly OOB and i did not worry about sanding, or right color and.... just enjoyed the build so much. well not always, i was really crazy with some that seemed impossible to build "right" at that time 😄 :d

Album info
I bought this kit form a fellow builder who had started on this model a long time ago.
My first jobs were to take it apart in a good way to restart again. The engine comes full chromed in the kit, so after a cleanup to remove the chrome, I also cleaned and trimed some of the other parts which were allready build. The bodywork was luckely still unpainted, and furthermore the whole kit still complete. It's a project which slowly progresses in the background, but I will post updates in due time.
