ElectricLightAndy Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hello, Here is my second quarantine build, it's a kit I have had for around 20 years I think, its actually a really nice kit, only needing minor details. Painted with humbrol enamels, Alclad chrome and oils. I have added bonnet straps from tamiya curve tape and fuse wire. also made decals for the dashboard and number plates and added a couple of tiny gems for lights. The windscreen was replaced with kettle mesh, a lit of fun for £3.99 Andy. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy J Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 What a superb result you've managed with this kit. The bonnet straps alone are excellent but the paintwork and detailing are equally as good. Really like this Andy brilliant work well done 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmatthewbacon Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 That looks excellent -- very nicely done, Andy. It's nice to see the period paint you've used on it as well... that's really going the extra mile 😜 best, M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengalensis Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 You've made a lovely model from that old and rather crude kit. It's hard at first glance to catch that it is the old Airfix 1/32 scale. Very well done 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mansfield Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Amazing detail for a 1/32 kit! Enjoyed your work in progress & the finished result is great. I wish my custom decals came out tat well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 It definitely doesn't look 1/32 - great work (as shown very well in the build thread), and it's only the photo with the paint pot (which may well be older than me) which shows just how small it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
