discussion Aston Martin Ulster.... 1/32 Matchbox

[John Race]

Seat please, Paul, looks like an interesting build and kit.

So it's now a light weight special ?

Streamlining?
Every gram saved is a ten-housandth of a second off the time!

Here it is:
The years have not been kind...
If I could find the radiator grille it'd be worth gluing it back together.

Oh, that's completely recoverable!
Dab of glue
Brush of paint
Sorted!

Or, maybe not...

kind of a mystery that the grille is the only bit missing tho'

 

[PaulTRose]

Right...... Sorry for lack of updates but I've been doing minor assembly and painting

Kit is showing its age..... Was new tool back in 1975....had to temp fix the body shell to the chassis so I could line up the two engine covers with the grill to turn them into a one piece to make painting easier..... One of those jobs where three hands would have been useful lol

But now I can start to put it together...... Knife shows how small this is as it's 1/32

 

[Jim R]

Much smaller than I imagined.

 

[stillp]

The 1:1 isn't a big car.
