Using a £10 Maisto XJ220 in BRG I am creating a 1993 Jaguar XJ220S by TWR. I'll post some photos along the way, and questions if necessary as I'm still learning! It is going to be based on this one, and painted Yellow, but minus those horrid wheels. Still deciding whether it should be Matte or not yet. I'm also doing a full interior redo with carpets, new seats, etc.

The XJ220S was a limited run of 6 cars built by TWR between 1993 and 1994. Exterior modifications include a carbon fibre front splitter, new air scoops in the front bumper and new headlights. Rear modifications are minimal, only incorporating a raised rear wing. The V6 engine was reworked and produces 685bhp. The whole body apart from the doors was reworked in Carbon Fibre to save weight. More photos can be found here and here!

Just starting of custom building with something interesting
As far as I know this will be the world's first XJ220S in 1:18!
[EDIT: Second!]

First updates on Saturday!
