discussion MGB, Aoshima, 1/24

[PaulTRose]

and finished!

quite a nice kit with the usual Aoshima foibles

always planned on doing this straight after the Lotus 7 i did earlier this year, since they are similar era and type, but it didnt happen lol

 

[Mark1]

Nice :thumb2:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Really nice. Glad you picked red in the end, it looks splendid!

 

[Jim R]

Very nice indeed.

 

[Mickc1440]

That’s a great finish

 

[scottie3158]

That's turned out very nicely.

 

[Nicko]

Looks ready for that classic race meeting!

Excellent - love the red and white paint job.

 

[langy71]

Nailed it.. she looks gorgeous

 

[yambam26]

Looks just the part for a race car and next to the lotus super 7! Both cracking builds

What a great job you've done there. It was a wow moment for me when I saw the completed build. I have a 1:1 Sebring roadster ( not an original I hasten to add)
If this was 'Strictly come modelling ' that would be a 10 from me.

I forgot to ask, did the front and rear Sebring fill panels come with the kit ?

yup

aoshima just add an extra sprue or two of bits to turn it into a racer from the standard road going kit......got extras like the panels and seats, steering wheel, roll cage and other bits n bobs

Thanks Paul, I think I'm on the prowl for a slight expansion of the stash.

Very nice!

 

[The Smythe Meister]

Just seen this....
Been said before,but,that looks great, especially in the red and white
(There's Just SOMETHING about the look of the number decal that screams "50s/60s".... Or is it just me?!!)

Thanks Paul. It will be the Sebring. A 1:24 version of my 1:1 would be nice.

This was a chrome bumper model, but there are loads of them around and I wanted something a bit different. So I went the Sebring route.
