cmatthewbacon 4,430 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 One of Heller's better 1/43 car kits, with good shape and detail, especially for the scale. It's a really cool little sports car that punches well above its weight, as well... It's a pretty small car in real life, and even more so in 1/43! It's just a shame no one does a nice 1/24 scale version; the closest is an Eidei/Grip kit from the early 80s, available in an Airfix box from time to time. But it's ex-motorised and tarted up with fake rally parts, so is not very appealing, even as the "only game in town". best, M. 14 Link to post Share on other sites

MR2Don 341 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Very nice. How long before somebody produces a kit of the new A110, I wonder? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Paul H 373 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Lovely work Matt - especially impressive given the size. I hadn't fully appreciated how small it is until your final pic! I don't remember the A310 when new, but read the roadtests of its final incarnation, the A610 at the time and recall them as rating it very highly. It's a pity that these cars are usually so overlooked (especially in the UK), including by model companies. 4 hours ago, MR2Don said: How long before somebody produces a kit of the new A110, I wonder? Now that is a modern car kit I would be very excited by - come on Tamiya, it would make a fab combo with the classic A110! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
