cmatthewbacon Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Another of Matchbox's excellent 1/32 car kits -- 30s sports cars are a big theme in their line-up. I did a bit of plumbing and detailing under the bonnet -- particularly adding the steering column, without which it looks very odd under there. The only flaws I can see with the kit are that the engine should really be a bit longer and closer up to the radiator, which would give more room for the ancillaries around it, and it doesn't quite capture the low, wide stance of the real thing. I think if I was doing another one not out of the box, I'd try and taper the bonnet down to a slightly shortened radiator... best, M. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyTiger66 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 That looks superb. I loved these kits as a young lad back in the mid 70's. You've done a very nice job of it. TonyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head in the clouds. Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Very red and a cheeky little number. Those thirties cars certainly have loads of character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Very nice matt, it looks a super little model, I'm revisiting yesteryear, by entering the matchbox gb with the 1/32 mercedes ssk, this little aston was also on my mind, what material did you use for the stone guards on the headlights, cheers Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
