I've been intermittently having a go at the ancient Entex kit of the Triumph TR3, trying to make something more than a toy out of it. And I feel like I've got somewhere with it. This....
Then I was out and about yesterday and ended up coming home with this box...
So I'm finding myself drawn into the car zone. In fact I've just finished a challenge in the Golden Age of Transport Group Build, the old Airfix MG K3 MAGNETTE kit which had several missing parts, namely the chassis, suspension and axles. Much scratch building and tinkering was involved before I ended up with this...
(Edit... this is not the K3 that now features in the updated title 😎)
So old brit Classics is the flavour of the day. 😍
I've always loved the little TR3, the era and style is just perfect for me, possibly only beaten by the TR2. The Entex kit has some serious toy-like features but the bodyshell moulding looks topclass to me. I'm seeing what I can do with the rest of it. I'll bring the build progress up to date shortly 😉
The MGB by Aoshima is a better class of kit altogether and should be a breeze to build by comparison.
Seems to make sense to put them in together for a WIP. Chances are that I'll be diverted onto aviation stuff at times but this will keep all the car stuff in one place as things progress 😎
