What's on the Bench 2025

The seat rivets are painted, everything varnished with satin clear and seat belts fitted (kit parts).
Strange rules for 1966 Le Mans race mandated 2 seats to be fitted (passenger never used hence lap belt only), provision for 2 suitcases to be carried! and a spare wheel carried which had to be removed and touch the ground and refitted at every pit stop.

Whilst the seemingly never ending ritual of filling and sanding on the Sea King build continues I started Revells 1/25 Shelby Cobra 289.
During the 90s I built 5 fibreglass replica kit cars for a customer, 2 x 289s and 3 x 427s, using Jaguar XJ6 suspension front and rear and, sacrilegiously, Chevy 351 engines - the customers always right!?.
The only modifications to the body was to open up the front lower air intake. All paints used were from Proscale, black primer, 4 coats Deep Black, 4 coats of polychromatic Black Soul Green Envy and 2K clearcoat. The "ghost" stripes were the colour coat with 1 drop of silver added.
Very chuffed with end result and love the various green/purple/ black colour shifts as you change viewing position. Looks better in real life.
Thanks for looking and now for photo overload.
