Going to start this.

Ouch! going to need a bit of work - the moulds are almost as old as the full size thing! I did have a go at this, many years ago ( Smer boxing ) - the 'wire wheels' really need replacing, as the way they are made isn't convincing - at least in my hands! A good driver figure would be good as well!
Will watch with interest!

Yes it is a little sparse isn't it Dave. I'm going to try and beef up the engine a little, and I'll take a look at the wheel spokes too.

Hi Ian
Looks a lot of work. I don't recall ever seeing a kit made of such blue plastic :rolling:

The plastic isn’t too bad, it’s just a very basic kit.

Made a start on this one.

Interesting piece of archeology Ian. Hope it works out OK because it’s an interesting subject.

Got some more work done to this, mostly on the leather seat.

Thanks Paul.

That seat leather is very convincing.
