The BHP kit is a transkit, which includes resin, photoetch, vacformed windows, clear resin tail lights, template for rear wing uprights, and decals. 

The kit is pretty straightforward.  The kit directions are much better than the Mustang’s kit, but could still use some improvement.  An email address is included for any needed assistance, which is appreciated. 

The resin body had minimal flashing so it was very easy to clean. Some modification is needed on the body to fit the back wing.  Part fits were excellent.  The rims, which are nicely casted, are the same as the Mustang.  Decals are well done, but quite thin. 

I ended up tearing the jaguar on the side, so I was glad there was an extra set in the kit.  Setting solution should be used sparingly. The photoetch is well done, but there is a mistake on the wing uprights.  This error is noted in the directions.  There is a template to fix the angle.  The hood pins seemed to be too large, so I ended up using after market pins that I had on hand. 

I had a hard time finding reference photos on this car.  I could find every other Jaguar except this one.  I contacted BHP Enterprises.  They sent me to some sites which had some better pictures of the car.
 

For this being only the second kit for BHP Enterprises, the quality is on the level of some of the larger manufacturers.  I definitely recommend this kit.  It is nice to see a company doing cars of this era.  I hope they will do other versions of this car.  I’m looking forward to seeing what other kits they plan to do in the future.
