Vesa Jussila Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 This is really nice progress. Need to get my projects going forward too. Now 1:1 scale is disturbing modelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I know that all too well, but right now it's the other way around for me; I have much work to do on 1/1 scale projects I should attend to instead... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 The decals went on quite OK after an hour soaking this morning. Then the windows were soon installed, followed by more parts, and before I thought more about it I had nothing left to fit, just to put a little weight into the tyres. So I call this one done, in six days time. Now I would like a Contessa 1300 Sprint to go beside this Coupé, but sadly I know of no kits... I have a little thing for the Hino cars, and now I'm one step closer to start this; the BRE racing Contessa of Pete Brock. Hopefully in another tread some day. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamden Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Very nice result of a type I had never heard of. Great build, superb paintwork leading to an outstanding replica Stay safe Roger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc2 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Really nice, I too have never heard of the Hino Contessa until now, the 1300 sprint version looks like a really attractive car. Malc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 That has come out beautifully. Your paint job is quite superb. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 That's another cracking job Jörgen, glad I noticed the link to this thread in your signature! Add me to the list of those who've never heard of this car - both as a road car and Peter Brock's race car - just googled the latter and now I really do hope you do a build thread on your resin kit! Lovely little model! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 @klubman01 @Hamden @Malc2 @stevehnz @keefr22 Thank you all very much. I'm glad you like the work and I'm happy to have spread a little knowledge of a lesser known car. I have placed a few more photos in the RFI-section: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
