PatW Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 My second one of these Dave Deal creations. Bought as a glue bomb over ebay UK, with some sort of glue holding various parts together. The wheels had the axles broken after being stuck in the wheels backs and not matter how much enamel thinner was used I had to drill out the axle stubs. Seeing the original artwork from Dave on the box in yellow I chose that colour after sourcing various bits broken or missing, one of which was the aerial missing and the bendy exhaust broken (get out the candle to bend another). The aerial was made from copper wire wound round a small diameter alloy tube. Showing the difference in tyre diameters and 1/24 tyre decals at the front to 1/12 at the rear. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelman182 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 That's real nice - reminds me of the 'Groundhog' that Gulf used to use in their advertising in the 60s! (that's providing my memory is serving me right - which is always "questionable" 😁) Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess my local Gulf garage must've had a Dunlop franchise too. Thanks for the reminder, bhouse! 🙂 Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
