  1. The body is starting to take shape.

    Going to need a bit of putty to fill the gaps. Will be interesting to see if anything fits in the end. :)

    Also started working on the engine, I am thinking about stripping the chrome from the engine parts and the exhaust system, the images I find while googling mostly show no chrome.

  2. I have heard this one is a nightmare to build but I feel up for a challenge. I am considering painting the body British Racing Green but if you have some other suggestion I am all ears. Also I would like to ask the experts here what color the engine was when the car came out of the factory? The instructions say I should paint it red but most pictures when I google seem to show a black engine.

    Just the body is a real puzzle.

  3. Thanks, I figured the decals would be a problem but I can live with it. Would have been nice to have the license plate though. As long as it is easy to find good pictures of the parts that require modifications it should not be a problem either.

  4. I want to build the non-military version of the Triumph 3HW (3H I believe?) and I was wondering if it is possible to use Italeri's 3HW as a base and just not add the military specific parts? or are there parts missing in this kit that are present in the non-military version? The 3HW kit is much easier (and cheaper) to find that is why I was wondering.
