Nice choice ian , im not 100% sure but i think this is a rebox of the Heller moulding , in which case that makes 3 heller cars on the bounce for you! . Looking forward to the build , cheers tony

This is a rebox of the Heller one. It is starting to show its age bit should make a good model.

And the first job was to get rid of the chrome, so a quick bath in bleach while watching the first half of Arsenal V Sunderland and this is what you get

Made a start on this one, but I think it's going to be a slow build most parts are small and need painting at least two different colours, so it looks like many small sub-assembly's painted and the assembled.

I am glad i didn't start it as i would put back in the cupboard for the next few years so hat's off to you.

 

[Guest]

Seeing what you have done with other cars,I'm looking forward to this.

 

[monica]

looks a very nice kit,Ian,

 

[Guest]

I'm looking forward to this, I also did the airfix 1/12 one I'm sure this will turn out great.

 

[Guest]

Like many, I built the Airfix monster many, many, years ago. I bet it was rubbish, doubt I even painted the green.


Looking forward to seeing what you make of this Ian, it is a hell of a vehicle.

 

[papa 695]

[Snowman]
