Jaguar XJR5 Le Mans 1984 #40/44 Group 44 by Marsh Models
It took an American team led by Bob
Tullius to bring the Jaguar name back
to Le Mans in the 1980s and this kit
offers the option of building either of
his team cars from 1985. The kit parts
are well thought out with a cleanly cast
resin body into which fits a very thinly
cast rear diffuser section. Also in resin
are the tyres, dashboard and rear wing
element, there are machined wheel rims and then plenty of cast white metal for
the other smaller parts. The photo-etched parts are fairly comprehensive with an
interior tub, wing endplates, wing support, rear suspension, wheel centres and
much more. A nice kit and there are more classic Le Mans subjects to come.

About Marsh Models
Well established maker of high quality 1:43 kits and hand-built models. Kits feature very precisely moulded resin bodies requiring minimal clean up, equally good white metal ancillary parts, very fine photo-etching where necessary, machined wheel rims, bespoke resin tyres and clearly printed decals. Instructions usually a clearly drawn exploded diagram and often include a sample paint chip if the main body colour is an unusual one. Hand-builts beautifully built and detailed, usually from a series of 100 pieces but LE range typically from only 25. Made in England
