colin 1,608 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Lovely fitting kit with a lot of nice detail, let down by very poor moulding of some parts, sink marks/rough finish large sprue points. Not exactly what you would expect from a new 21st centuary mould,even from Revell. Windscreen was broken on my kit, the packaging is not the best, not too bad to repair as I de-chromed everything apart from the mirrors. But I would still build another and the convertable when they release it 30 2 Link to post Share on other sites

cmatthewbacon 3,933 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Lovely job indeed. I think de-chroming everything was a good call. Shame they moulded the bonnet stay so overscale, but you can't have everything Cracking job... I must get on with one of mine! best, M. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Nick Belbin 604 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That’s a beauty! The wheels look very convincing. Has anyone compared this with Heller’s? Lots of comments about the screen on this coupe and now not really 21st century moulding - be interesting to know which kit is the most accurate overall. Nick 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Spiny 1,845 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Well, however bad the flaws were, you did a good job of building this up. To me, this looks like an E-Type and I'd be happy (make that delighted) to have built this myself. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

kapam 1,635 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Stunning build! Looks especially "real" as a result of stripping the chrome. Are the wheels the out-of-box parts (minus the chrome)? They don't look too bad if they are plastic parts. Well done - looks like a desirable kit, with just a bit of work required on a few things. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The wheels were left in the chrome as they weren't to bad, several enamel paint washes and cotton buds to remove the excess.Unless someone brings out a metal set at a very reasonable price I would stick with the Revell ones as they do look the part in my eyes. The washes have muted the chrome to a scale look Link to post Share on other sites
roymattblack 2,755 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 A really great build there. Very well done. A shame they got the shape of the rear side windows wrong though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
